The victory of Doug Jones in Alabama is the triumph of good sense, good values, and good people. It's also the start of reclaiming America for all Americans.

Congratulations, Doug Jones. You were a great US Attorney, and you ran a terrific campaign. You deserve this win. It's a win for the people of Alabama.

According to Alabama state law, Roy Moore now has to eat his horse. https://t.co/8LVvznMR5y

Can we pause for a minute and acknowledge that the direction of this country was changed by old-school, responsible, well-sourced journalism.

Big ups to the @washingtonpost.https://t.co/xvoKJlZKzf

Roy Moore is demanding a recount hoping they'll find out she was 20

Tonight, Alabama voters elected a senator who'll make them proud.

And if Democrats can win in Alabama, we can -- and must -- compete everywhere.

Onward!

Doug Jones wins! This is a win for decency, ethics and dignity. Americans win!

establishment liberals are going to use doug jones' win as an indication that they can continue running mediocre & abysmal candidates, and marginalized people, specifically black folks will vote for them because republicans are *that* deplorable.

don't let it go unchecked.

Roy Moore not conceding reminds me of something I've noticed: a certain kind of white man, having grown used to creating realities to his liking, when confronted with a reality not to his liking tantrums like a goddamned baby

Ok! Enjoy this night celebrating our @GDouglasJones win. Dance like no one is watching.

Tomorrow morning we wake up and fight again.

Next up? #SaveNetNeutrality and #TaxScamBill

Are you ready?!

FYI
•Roy Moore would like everyone to believe there are enough absentee ballots to overturn Doug Jones win
•There are 1500-2000 military ballots, not enough to flip anything
•Sounds to me that Moore is too ashamed to concede defeat
•Moore would have to pay for recount.

I got tweets from people in Australia and South Africa tonight regarding the #ALSenateRace

All with glee over the surprising win of #DougJones over #RoyMoore

The world is watching #Alabama & #UnitedStates

And for the first time in awhile, they're not disappointed #ALSen

Trying to wrap my mind around the fact that *Doug Jones* turned out the same percentage of black voters in 2017 as *Barack Obama* did in 2012.
