Congratulations to all the volunteers, organizers, and candidates who worked their hearts out, win and lose, in 2019.

Let’s celebrate the amazing wins, especially in Virginia (a new trifecta!), and let’s keep building everywhere. Onward!
I'm so proud of @OnwardTogether partners & grantees like @ArenaSummit, @IndivisibleTeam, @RunForSomething, @SwingLeft, @VotoLatino, @EmergeAmerica, and more who recruited candidates, mobilized voters, and changed the map for Democrats. And I know you’re just getting started. 💪
I also want to shout out @Hashmi4Va, the first Muslim woman elected to the VA State Senate. As she said yesterday, her victory "belongs to all of you who believed that we needed to make progressive change here in Virginia, for all of you who felt that you haven’t had a voice."

When the Trump administration threatened to pull out of the Iran deal and impose more sanctions last year, it was clear that we'd lose our leverage and Iran would be free to do what it wanted.

Predictably, Iran is now exceeding enrichment limits the deal once imposed.
By withdrawing from the deal, the administration has effectively broken up the international coalition that was unified in constraining Iran, and now Iran is once again increasing its nuclear capability.
As I said after the Iran deal was reached, it was not perfect but it achieved its fundamental mission of blocking every pathway for Iran to get a bomb.

Amazing update: Together, we've raised over $500,000 in the past 48 hours for groups working to protect children at the border.

The Trump administration’s cruelty has caused a moral and humanitarian crisis for every American. Thank you for responding with compassion and action.
Your donations will be split evenly among @AlOtroLado_Org, @ACLU, @asylumadvocacy, @dreambignv, @fams2gether, @florenceproject, @humanrights1st, @supportkind, @LUPE_rgv, @RAICESTEXAS, @TXCivilRights, and @wrcommission.
More contributions mean more services, lawyers, and advocates for kids and families in need, so please continue to spread the donation link far and wide.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I've been heartbroken and horrified to read the news of children at the border being detained in appalling conditions.

No soap, no toothbrushes, no beds.

Not enough food, babies being forced to take care of babies, everyone sick.
It's hard to process that our country is committing such abuses—and against children—in our name.

But let's not stop at outrage or heartbreak.
There are amazing groups at the border and beyond doing critical work to defend the rights of immigrant and refugee children.

If you can, please chip in to support a few of them today. secure.actblue.com/donate/kids-an…

@RashidaTlaib I want to forgive you....but now I can't trust you. You know how hard ppl like Dems behind the red firewall have been working to get Dems engaged in the south? It's been a gut wrenching SLOG! To even get Dems in the race here, it's exhausting.....cont..
@RashidaTlaib In TN in 2018, we worked our hearts out, on a promise of unity & dedication to each other, and got candidates on the ballots in 96 of 99 dists here...which is INCREDIBLE. When you say things like this, when Bernie & you or anyone talk about the "rig" and disparage our party..
@RashidaTlaib ..you're doing a damage and speaking from a place of ignorance. I'm sorry but that's what it is. The reason none of you ran indy, is because you need the party. You need to have faith in all of us out here working our asses off ESPECIALLY in places we need to break through..

#NEW I wrote about "electability" and the 2020 Democratic primary for the paper this week. We combined political science and polling data and found that a moderate Dem with strength among working-class whites has the best chance against Trump.

<THREAD>

economist.com/united-states/…
The 2020 election is likely to be close. Trump's approval rating & GDP growth suggest that he'll win about 49% of the two-party vote, per our modeling. He's clearly competitive, especially when Democrats need to win the popular vote by about ~2.5pts to win the electoral college.
So the "electability" of the candidates is a particular concern for Democrats.

So what do we know about who is more likely to win general elections?

I do not have a preferred candidate. There are pros and cons to all of them.

We have a primary to fully vet them all and discuss their strengths and weaknesses to determine which one is best suited to face Trump in the fall.

1/
When I LIKE a tweet, it does not mean I am endorsing or knocking any candidate mentioned. It means "Interesting, thanks for posting." Healthy debate it critical to the process.

2/
When I point out a negative about a candidate, it's not an insult or judgment. It doesn't mean I don't like that candidate. It doesn't mean YOU shouldn't like them. It doesn't mean they won't have my full support in the Fall.

It just means it should be part of the discussion.

Ok, time for a quick recap of the results of last night! It was an incredible result that proved that Democrats working hard can win big. Here we go! 1/ #Virginia
First of all, @RalphNortham comfortably won the Governorship with 53.7% to Ed Gillespie’s 45.1%. Kudos to him, we are so happy to have you as Governor! And kudos to his primary challenger, @tomperriello for working so hard to get Northam elected. Very inspiring
Then, congratulations to @fairfaxforlg for winning the Lt Gov race against “vaginal ultrasound” Jill Vogel! Justin Fairfax is the second Black person to win in statewide office in #Virginia. 👏🎉🎉
