The victory gives the national Democratic Party a rare flip of a congressional seat, even if most pundits for months had anticipated a Democratic lawmaker seizing control of it.

#4: These “red state” organizers have spent the last near-decade fighting on the frontlines of authoritarianism, no matter who has been in the Oval Office. They work year-round, in the places from which Donald Trump draws power. They know the far-right’s playbook inside and out.

A note from our founder, @joekennedy: First, I want to say thank you. I know how many of you left it all on the field this election. You door-knocked, phone-banked, traveled to swing states, organized your communities, and had difficult conversations with family and friends.
