I don't feel bad. I feel good. We were threatened with losing our country - [View all]

we didn't. Not this time. We beat them back. We humiliated them. We mussed their hair. We roughed them up.

Let Kevin try to get stuff done with a 2 seat margin. That means he needs 100% attendance, and can't tolerate even 3 defections.

Defections from Rs in blue CA and NY districts whose constituents will not reward them for crazy.

And the more crazy shit they try to do - like persecuting Dr. Fauci - well that's just going to screw them again come 2024.


And now thanks to Bitecofer and others, we have a blueprint for how to fight and how to message. We have Jaime Harrison to help us raise money and allocate it well. We have Marc Elias and his team to help us fight in court. Success begets success. Success begets more donors. Success begets more candidates willing to run and fight.

There will be more and more horror stories coming out of the Dobbs decision that we will throw in their faces and force them to run on and defend.

And we know we are not alone. We are the majority, even though gerrymandering screwed us. We are the majority.

Would it have been great to get the House? Yes.

But I don't feel bad today. I feel good.
