Hi there,

There has never been a more urgent time for courageous, daily, independent news. Democracy Now!’s independent reporting is more important than ever, when only a galvanized, engaged public, supported by resilient, pro-democracy grassroots movements, can prevent authoritarianism from triumphing. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Democrats Win Control of Executive and Legislature Branches in Four States

HeadlineNov 10, 2022

In Michigan, where Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer easily won reelection Tuesday, Democrats have won back full control of the Legislature for the first time since 1983. Democrats also won complete control of both legislative chambers and the governor’s office in Maryland, Massachusetts and Minnesota.

Nebraska voters have approved a ballot measure to incrementally raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026.

In South Dakota, voters have approved a ballot measure to expand the state’s Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act. The move to bring health insurance to an estimated 45,000 low-income people was opposed by South Dakota Republicans, including Governor Kristi Noem.
