Wrapping up the first week of new member orientation here in DC. It has been a humbling experience to walk through the halls of Congress and reflect on the responsibility of serving in this institution. A few highlights from this week have been meeting my fellow Members-elect, learning all about the work that goes into preparing and passing legislation, and stepping on the House floor for the first time. Looking forward to getting to work in January!

You can’t denaturalize an American-born citizen.
@RepYassAnsari is a dedicated public servant who has more integrity in her little finger than you will ever have.

.@MarkPocan called The Recombobulation Area “one of the very best places to find out what’s happening in Wisconsin politics.”

Every single Dem is going to vote yes now.
And House Rs are a bit worried about attendance among their members after their midterm drubbing.

It flew under the radar nationally a bit given everything else that happened on Tuesday, but Bryan Steil — who was widely considered to be the frontrunner to be the 2028 Republican nominee for Wisconsin Senate if Ron Johnson actually retires this time — lost his re-election bid.
Election night with my friend and colleague @RepGwenMoore.
I love Gwen. Tough as nails when needed. Fighter for everyone to get a fair shake.
And she serves on the powerful @WaysMeansCmte.
Going to be a fun session getting things done next year!
SO @derrickvanorden files paperwork ready to run in two years…

Tell me you learned nothing about why you had a devastating loss at the polls in November without telling me you don’t know why.
Stephen Miller. The solution to nothing.

Does the @amprog board and donors approve of your unending need to be proven right, often in the most obnoxious, pedantic and self-serving ways?
Your fights with parts of the Dem base actually hurts all our efforts and can hardly be good for the organization you lead.
Would love to just see people rowing together, not constantly trying to be proven somehow right, @neeratanden. Try “we not me”.
Glad to be wrong about Valadeo but I was right about Dunlap - progressives pushed him over Baldacci and Dunlap tanked in a blue tsunami

I’m very excited to have a Democratic majority in the next Congress. Serving on the Appropriations committee will be especially important as we can stop Trump from many of his worst actions by denying funding of those programs. I should chair a subcommittee that will have important jurisdiction over the White House budget and more, so my 14 years have brought me to a position I can impact things for the positive in a bigger way than ever. Thank you to everyone who helped get me to this point. I truly appreciate it!
They are very few politicians in Washington DC that are quite as ignorant and curmudgeony as @RonJohnsonWI is, ranting like a man upset Wisconsin walked on his lawn. (warning, your IQ will go down at least 10 points by watching the video.)
Sharia law? C’mon.
National debt problem? 1/3 of the debt from our nations 250 year history came under Donald Trump and Ron Johnson.
I predict RoJo doesn’t run for reelection in two years as his brand of politics just got thrown out.
Wisconsin, you really delivered last night. We need you to deliver again in 2028.
I just want to thank the people of South Central and Southwestern Wisconsin for supporting my reelection to Congress.
I truly appreciate the support and will do my best to represent your values in Washington and try to explain Washington when I’m back home.
There’s much work to do, and I am looking forward to it. I appreciate your trust.
Money can’t buy you love.
$5000 check bribes by Trump - FLOPPED
Elon Musk money - FAILED
Big Billionaire funding of elections - LOST
Now let’s make sure big money never fails us again by Ending Citizen’s United, stopping corporate PAC money influence & banning Congressional insider trading.
Congratulations to @DavidCCrowley, @SarahforWI, @JoshKaulWI, @VoteJoCasta, and @yeeforwi as well as @SenHesselbein and @RepGreta for the huge Democratic trifecta win last night.
It will be great to unf**k some of the things that the gerrymandered Republican legislature did years ago. Working together, they can do an awful lot!
Huge congratulations to @MBermanWI and @RebeccaforWI for picking up two seats in Congress from Wisconsin!
Each ran strong grassroots campaigns that gave voters a clear alternative to the Trump agenda.
Looking forward to having a 4–4 delegation from Wisconsin that’s as purple as the state. Time to fight for working people.

KATHY CASTOR, the Tampa-area Dem that the GOP targeted in redistricting, is up 13 points with 73% of the vote in.
