I just gave $1,000 to @indivisible.org to primary Senate Democrats.
I'm so mad about the ORGANIZED betrayal of Senate Democrats, I might give them another $1,000.
Each one of you to deserves a primary. Every Last One. #PrimaryThemAll
You underestimate how mad we are....

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.
Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.
This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

We aren’t going to defeat fascism with a politics-as-usual approach.
So we’re gearing up for a massive primary program to put forward a new wave of candidates who can win at the ballot box and in the battle to defend democracy.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.

The good news:
1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue.
2) She can and should run again in the midterm election.
3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play.
The bad news:
Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.
