The Hound | Nov. 13

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Democrats won the House and Senate after campaigning on lower costs, taking on corporate power, and ending corruption. Of 59 Democrats who won competitive races, 97 percent called for new limits on data centers, nearly 80 percent backed Medicare for All, a public option, or a Medicare buy-in, and more than half pledged to take on monopolies.

🖊️ Sign the petition to call on the media to cover this win as a mandate to hold Trump accountable and pass ambitious bills. Report on what Democrats promised and what they deliver, and name every Republican who blocks popular legislation.

Data for Progress found majorities in Maine, Michigan, and Texas support higher taxes on millionaires, a $15 minimum wage, and Medicare for All. The public deserves coverage that measures Democrats against the promises voters elected them on.

In addition, how the Democratic tsunami changes the landscape of reproductive rights across America. And a closer look into how new Democratic trifectas could make the electoral college irrelevant and elevate the popular vote.
