Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

Iran has no nuclear weapons and can’t “take out” L.A. or San Diego. But a U.S. President nevertheless inviting it to do so puts us in 25th Amendment territory. Trump is unfit and must go.

Field Team 6 is primed to have the greatest impact of any midterm cycle in its short, vibrant life. We've tested our data modeling & cleaned our data, we have A:B tested our scripting, we have more efficient programs with greater reach than ever before, we are humming along in more targets than 2020, 2022, or 2024. Yep, that’s right: we’re kicking ass in 13 states & 48 districts where the new Democrats & progressive independents we register will vote to change the outcomes of literally dozens (if not hundreds) of races up & down the ballot.
That's good news!
Don't be shy! If you (& a good chunk of the other 25k people who get this newsletter) click to volunteer and/or donate to Field Team 6 right now, we can reach the 18 million unregistered likely Democrats in our targets. It's less than 50 days until registration deadlines start hitting the first week of October.
If we continue to do the work, we will have more good news to celebrate when every vote is counted after November 3rd, 2026.
