From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

The United States Senate switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can be used to connect with individual Senate offices. You can also find the direct phone number for a specific senator on their official website. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I called all the Senators on this list including mine in Maine, King,—some have full message boxes, but call!

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I love everything about this store and story... www.centralmaine.com?p=3269016&uu...

Pretty! #Maine Sounds sleety too.

From Virginia up to Maine, New Jersey out to California, and plenty of places in between, Tuesday was a great night for democracy — and an awful night for President Donald Trump. Democracy Docket loved tracking every win — and explaining what it all amounted to. But we did a lot else this week, too.

Today, 11/8...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

My new one is up! Takeaways From Election 2025 open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Portland #Maine area peeps, I’ll be signing at Nonesuch Books Saturday 11/8 from 10-noon…

Election lessons...win local elections (they matter--like defeating book-banning Moms for Liberty on school boards), nominate & elect younger candidates, turn down big money donors & influence, & "We the people" over the establishment and the way things have always been done. 1/2

Why were they removed? 😡 www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Wow! Amazing sunrise on the ridge this morning. I stayed up very late savoring election results so I woke up after sunrise, but the hubs took photos… #Maine #newday

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Good night peeps, sweet dreams.

The results of Maine's referendum questions are in..."No" on Q1 which will protect absentee voting and "Yes" on Q2 means #Maine will now have a Red flag gun law to boost gun safety.

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

NOT extending ACA subsidies will ALSO cause state economies to PLUMMET $41B. 339,100 jobs will be LOST due to health care providers being FORCED to reduce their workforces. 50% of job LOSSES will be health care–related & HIGHER in states where MORE residents are enrolled in an ACA marketplace plan.
