If you don't have an active ActBlue account, I can *list* you on the fundraising page but I can't actually *raise money* for you.

If you know anyone running for state legislature in a purple/red district, tell them to make sure they set up an ActBlue account even if that's not their main platform!

Trump is very underwater on immigration.

There is no reason for Dems to cave on ICE funding.

Last year, surveillance giant Palantir (who got an 8-figure contract from ICE) paid $0 in federal income tax despite making $1.5 BILLION, partly due to new tax cuts in Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill.

They cut Medicaid & SNAP to pay for this.

This monstrosity must be reversed.
Palantir Pays Zero Federal Income Tax Despite Explosive Growth, Largely Due to Trump Tax Law
Palantir reported $1.5 billion of U.S. income but paid exactly zero federal income tax in 2025. Despite explosive growth, tax breaks from the Trump tax law helped Palantir avoid paying even a dime of...

As for Newsom, if you really can't stand him, SUPPORT A DIFFERENT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN THE 2028 PRIMARY *AFTER* THE 2026 MIDTERMS ARE OVER.

Major media have decided that openly racist members of Congress are normal now, not worth writing about.
Coverage of Andy Barr, a sitting Congressman and candidate for U.S. Senate, running an ad declaring, "It's not a sin to be white" -- a variation of a notorious white nationalist slogan

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

GOP already know and are doing the things that interfere with midterms.

They’ve been vote suppressing for decades.

Help a student you know vote, drive them to polls. Check in to see if they are able to get to their polling station.

So, if the Nazi tattoo that was hastily scrubbed off of Graham Platner’s tit doesn’t bother leftists (and apparently it doesn’t) aren’t they supposed to super duper care about private civilian mercenary killing with no oversight?
Isn’t that their thing?

In a racist attack against Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny Benito, MAGA propagandist Jake Paul called him a “fake American citizen.”

To avoid paying taxes, Jake moved to the very same Puerto Rico that he is now referring to as having fake citizens. Fake American scumbag.

What Raskin said makes sense. If Trump can sue the government for $10 billion dollars for leaking his tax returns, why shouldn’t the victims of Epstein be allowed to sue the government for not redacting their names? 🔄
