This was, among other things, a massive defeat for AI data centres
"Three states at the centre of the AI build-out - Texas, Georgia and Ohio - elected Democratic candidates who have pledged to crack down on building data centres." "26 gubernatorial candidates across 21 states backed some form of moratorium on data centre development." Link👇

All the aura to the winner of the New Mexico governorship with those outfits. Deb Haaland, the first Native American woman to govern a state in United States history.

James Talarico says America doesn't have capitalism anymore, it has crony capitalism, socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor “Capitalism was an innovation. I think we forget that now.” “We don't have capitalism, at least not in this country. We have crony capitalism.” “Where the gains in this economy go to those who can afford to buy access, who can afford to buy politicians for control.” “He said, we have socialism for the rich, and we have rugged individualism for the poor.” w/ @jamestalarico

James Talarico responds to AOC calling woke 1.0 crazy, policing people's language is performative politics, and it stops you from building a coalition “I do think that there was a rise in performative politics in people who are more concerned about using the right words, usually determined by academia” “Those are unifying values that we all agree on.” “But when you start policing people's language, when you start judging people because they're not up on the right terminology, you're no longer building a coalition to address those real problems” “you're performing a kind of politics that's about your own intellectual and emotional needs and not about actually making change.” w/ @jamestalarico

Governor-elect @AmyActonOH: I know what it's like when people look the other way when you're struggling. As a child, I experienced abuse and neglect. I could have never imagined going from homeless to being a doctor, let alone that I would be standing here, the next governor of Ohio.

BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Senator-elect James Talarico talks about Texas’ 26 point swing: “I didn't know we were going to win Texas by double digits, but I really do believe the reason we won is that we forged a new kind of politics. One that brings people together rather than pulling them apart. I think that can be a model for our politics as a nation going forward.”

I carry the lessons, strength, and resilience of the fierce Pueblo women who raised me. It is the honor of my lifetime to serve New Mexico as your 33rd Governor — and to make history as the first Native American woman elected Governor in our nation’s history. I will always fight for the people and communities that made me who I am. Let’s get to work.

S.E. Cupp: Voters rejected the culture wars. Kneeling football players and Sharia law and white replacement and the caliphate and transing your kids that didn't put food on anyone's table. It was only good for the grifters who profited off of that utter bullshit.

PRITZKER: We should not fear immigrants and people of color and women. We should not fear the LGBTQ community. We should not fear the beardos and the weirdos. And we should not fear the Canadians. We should not fear the strange, wonderful mix of diverse opinions and backgrounds and ethnicities that make our communities rich, our food good, our culture strong, our work ethic durable, and our country so uniquely American.

Iowa, after 448 days of hard work, pushing up hills, knocking doors, visiting all 99 counties, visiting small and midsized communities all across Iowa, and preaching a message of a better future for Iowa – together, we have made history.

I didn’t tear up until I went back and watched this video of Josh Turek pulling his wheelchair up the stairs to talk with a neighbor. How do you not root for a guy like that?

Senator-elect @Hamilton4Kansas: This is amazing. We really did make history. 94 years. Herbert Hoover was president the last time a Democrat was elected in Kansas. The people in Kansas, Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, are saying what's happening in Washington is not okay.

WATCH: In an epic moment, Senator Warnock slams the billionaires who try to buy our elections: “We need to see billionaires spending a whole lot less on our elections and spending a whole lot more on taxes.”

ICYMI — 🔥 @jamestalarico: “We just took back Texas… we just proved all the money in the world is no match for the people of Texas. We just showed a politics of division is no match for a politics of love… it’s time to start flipping tables.” #DavidVsGoliath

My friend and brother @scott_colom … is about to become a US Senator!
U.S. Senate Candidate @scott_colom (D-MS): "I am very happy with where we stand. I'm confidant once the process lays out, where we are, where the ballots are, we're going to win."

James Talarico, a Democrat, is quoting Scripture in his victory speech, and the crowd is cheering. Democrats don’t hate religion. We hate watching people weaponize it. Faith isn't the problem. Using God as a weapon against your neighbors is.
