As we enter the final month before the midterms, don't get cocky. If anything, it's time to ramp up the work and pour it on. Check your registration. Vote early. Push your friends and family too. Look for local places to help out. Phone bank and write postcards. Volunteer for Election Day.

Rep. Mike Collins, a GOP U.S. Senate candidate, recently said he was “fine” with the idea of Trump sending federal troops to voting sites. “It may be fine with you,” Marc Elias says, “but it’s not fine with federal law.” Keep watch on the people rewriting the rules: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

I love the optimism about Dems winning in November - I share it! And: I'm a tiny bit nervous that winning will free folks of the urgency to fix deeper structural problems in our party that will fuck us in the long-haul if we don't grapple with them.

PLEASE NOTE on the recent SCOTUS per curiam decision: existing law blocks most states from purging their voting rolls within 90 days of an election. This decision is not likely to impact the midterms, and also the use of the SAVE program (different from the SAVE act) is VOLUNTARY.

If you are a fisherman in the Caribbean and are even suspected of having drugs on the boat, the Trump regime claims it has the “right” to automatically kill you. However, if you run one of the biggest drug rings in the US, you get a Trump pardon and then a speech at the GOP convention.

Soviet Census, 1930s; US Census, report today in the Guardian .
NKVD head Genrikh Yagoda, who had been in charge of the forced
collectivization (as well as Stalin’s poison laboratory), fell out of favor
for reporting the negative public reaction to the show trials. He was
demoted, then denounced, then tried in the third show trial in 1938,
and executed. His replacement underwent a similar fate and was
executed in early 1940.
“Execution was the favored solution to every problem, includ-
ing those caused by previous executions,” writes Adam Hochschild.
“When the national census showed that his reign of terror was
shrinking the country’s population, Stalin ordered the members of
the census board shot. The new officials, not surprisingly, came up
with higher figures. Between about 1929, when Stalin had van-
quished his rivals and concentrated power in his hands, and his death
in 1953, most historians now estimate that he had been directly re-
sponsible for the deaths of somewhere around 20 million people.” --Orwell's Roses After having forcibly retired thousands of dedicated civil servants who held a gobsmacking amount of institutional knowledge, the Trump administration has increasingly made impossible demands of those who remain. In June, they ordered the Census Bureau to stop using the most sophisticated techniques available to protect the confidentiality of the public’s responses when publishing data. Government scientists were told that they must return to the statistical dark ages and use methods that horrify their peers. By micromanaging the tools that experts can use, politicians are forcing civil servants to choose between publishing unusable data, risking the privacy of Americans’ data, or simply not publishing data.

In August,another controversy roiled the Census Bureau. Partisan data geeks leveraged a program designed to help the government recruit talent. Once there, they obtained access to government data and leveraged the bureau’s brand to publish a report arguing that numerous non-citizens voted in the 2020 election, reinforcing Trump’s conspiracy theory that he did not lose the election fair and square.

This report is anomalous in countless ways: it’s unsigned, lacking methodological detail, devoid of error metrics, and rushed through without oversight by the bureau’s experts. But it doesn’t matter how bad the report was (and it’s truly abysmally bad). The reputational damage was done. Economists and advocates from across the partisan spectrum were outraged at this blatant politicization of the Census Bureau.

The Trump administration doubled down. Days later, the commerce department eliminated the language that prohibited political interference from the agency’s official scientific integrity policy.  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/sep/10/census-trump-congress

We’re in a 60-day sprint to defeat the fascists. And not only do we need to win the midterms, but we must also be ready to protect the election results from the regime’s sabotage. That will take a lot of grassroots energy — and we’ve got a grassroots army that has quadrupled in size since 2024.
