We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

We can’t say this enough. The local and state races are the support for all other races. If we can flip many of these state level senate and representative roles, we can turn the tide on Gerrymandering and give each voter their voice back. Do your research. Not all Dems are the same! Choose wisely.
