5 weeks before the election folks!!! Let’s stay focused and have the election we all want. If you have a few bucks you can spare…donate, send postcards (your local Indivisible is organizing), man a Hot line for your States’ Dem Party, Bally curing, Poll watching, Canvass (if you’ve got the chops)

Think local elections don't matter? Ask anyone whose water, schools, or healthcare access changed because of a midterm they skipped. Please don't sit this one, or any other election, out! Check your registration status frequently. Make a plan to vote. Future You is counting on YOU.

🚨A technical error at the Texas Department of Public Safety has created a major backlog of voter registration applications, with some incomplete records dating back to 2025. If you recently registered to vote in Texas, now is a good time to double-check that your information is actually on file.

Support your Senate candidates. We need to win the Senate to accomplish our objectives and to send the message of repudiation to Trump, MAGA, and the world. As in past years, you see fake polls showing the races tightening and meant to discourage the Dems. Don’t fall for it!!! 💙

Be on guard….the Republicans are starting to flood the zone with their fake polls designed to demoralize the Democrats and get us to stay home and to stop supporting our fantastic candidates. The Democratic Party is strong. Voters are going to trust us to turn this ship around. Vote (early)!!!

i was rooting for (I live in Illinois) Steven’s over El-Sayed solely on the basis that she was polling much better against Mike Roger’s in the general election. Now that El-Sayed won, I hope the entire Democratic Party gets behind him…as it looks like they are doing. GET MAGA OUT!!!

I’m glad he’s gone. His “movement” wasn’t going anywhere in the general election. His polling sucked. A run of the mill (vetted) Democrat will do just fine. The Democratic Gubernatorial candidate is up 15 points…..right where a Senate candidate should be.

I wonder if MAGA senses just how angry and motivated the country is in its mission to eradicate stupidity, racism, and evangelical theocratic bullshit in America. Probably not…but they’re about to get an education.
