So all of us in the #resistance are giving ourselves a big pat on the back for the #BlueWave. After all, we took 40 seats and soon @TeamPelosi will be House Speaker

Great job! We think. After two long years we can finally take it easy.

NOT. SO. FAST.

Yes, it was wonderful to see those Democratic candidates win. And nice to see our effort rewarded.

With control of the House, we now have a Constitutional check on the president PLUS we control more governorships and state legislatures

But there’s still a TON of work to do.

As the past few days have shown, we still have a corrupt president: compromised by Russia, beholden to Saudi Arabia, unwilling to acknowledge basic facts about climate change and seemingly unconcerned about the sanctity of human life.

We still have an @GOP which continues to threaten our #healthcare as they lie, claiming they are fighting to protect it.

We still have OVER 14,000 #KidsInCages and an administration that not only believes it can stop people from applying for asylum, but that SHOOTING and #TearGassingChildren is OK as long as it covers up their incompetence and cruelty.

#FamiliesBelongTogether #ProjectCorazon

We still have an illegally appointed, incompetent Attorney General, who will do what he can to derail the Mueller investigation so he can cover up possible crimes against this country.

We still have millions of citizens disenfranchised by regressive laws and policies enacted by a party that puts its own lust for power over the people it represents.

And the need to ensure that our elections are free of illegal tampering.

#CountEveryVote #ProtectOurVotes

We still have an administration and many members of the GOP who think #ClimateChange is a “hoax”, ignoring science while they pass laws that will literally kill THOUSANDS of people and cost BILLIONS of dollars.
