Tonight we're watching Aftyn Behn's race in TN-07 closely. She trained with us, built a real campaign, and made the GOP sweat in a district they thought was safe. Whatever happens, this is what momentum looks like. This is how we build power. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

“How are you?” Under a Trump Administration, that's a loaded question. I’m scared. I’m sad. I’m angry. However, I’m also optimistic. At @traindems.bsky.social we have worked with people thinking about channeling their outrage into action by running for office. That's what gives me hope.
