Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called on Democrats to press ahead and take “opportunities to fight back” despite President-elect Trump’s triumph in the 2024 U.S. presidential election against Vice President Harris.
“Right now, Donald Trump won an election, and the consequences will be real and devastating, but I'm reminding myself and you that on the road ahead, there will still be opportunities to fight back,” Warren said in a video released Wednesday.

Today is a day of despair, and it would be futile to tell those who fear and grieve for what is to come in America that they will be OK. It would also be dishonest: many of us, in truth, will not be OK.

Pelosi clinches landmark 20th House term
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will return to Congress next year for a landmark 20th term, Decision Desk HQ projects.
The San Francisco liberal easily won reelection on Tuesday in California’s deep-blue 11th District, dismissing a nominal challenge by Republican Bruce Lou, a former "Jeopardy!" champion, who likened Democrats to communists.
Pelosi was already a historic figure heading into the current Congress. She was the first woman to ascend to the House Spea...

As I absorbed the song, I could not help but think of Donald Trump and the corrupt message he has brought in the election.
Trump is, of course, a man wit...
