We won. Elon lost. Let’s go.

Y’all, we had one hell of a Tuesday.

After what has seemed like endless discourse on what to do, Democrats did things. Good things! Let’s talk about them.

First, Sen. Corey Booker broke the record for the longest floor speech in US Senate history, previously held by noted segregation enthusiast Strom Thurmond, who, in 1957, aired 24 hours of grievances in an attempt to stall the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Sen. Booker acknowledged that he and his party weren’t doing enough to meet this moment, so he put himself on the line to send a message. Fasting since Friday, he stood before America for over 25 hours and plainly laid out the horrific insanity of the last few months, and challenged his colleagues to do more.

He also issued a challenge to everyday Americans to step up and lead their communities.

Sen. Booker’s marathon floor speech was the closest thing American politics has had to must-see-TV in ages. Engagements on the half dozen social media platforms broadcasting the speech reached the hundreds of millions.

Read that again. Hundreds of millions of people, across a half dozen social media platforms, agreed that this was the level of urgent attention Americans deserve from our leaders.

As the Senator exited the national stage, the voters of Florida and Wisconsin showed up. Consistent with the recent trend of double-digit Democratic over-performance, Florida Democrats slashed Republican margins in half in two Congressional special elections that had Republican operatives blaming each other for the loss before a single vote had been reported.

And then, the cherry on top of this Terrific Tuesday, Elon’s guy, who he spent millions to elect and personally campaigned for, went down in flames. Susan Crawford’s near 10 point victory was called within two hours of polls closing. Thank you, Wisconsin.

We won the day, and there are so many more wins ahead of us.

A couple of weeks ago, I said on stage that Democrats needed to start local, organizing with their neighbors to make change in their communities. We need to remind each other why we’re fighting to save our government because, when it works for us, it can change lives.

So, when you’re talking to your colleagues, your clients, and your friends this week, it’s ok to be excited. We have enough evidence to show us that voters will show up to save America. And while we keep figuring out how to win each day, we have to keep showing up for each other.
