Another new poll shows our campaign leading this race by 4 points!

We've got real momentum because Iowans are sick and tired of corrupt D.C. politicians hurting working people. In 53 days, we will change that.

If Trump or his allies attempt to undermine the results, they will face the largest, best-trained, and most prepared pro-democracy election-defense volunteer corps we've ever built.

Gloria Steinem was a feminist icon and democracy defender who spent her life fighting for human rights. Her memory should inspire us all to do a little, or a lot, each day. Rest in Peace, Gloria Steinem. 💔

The GOP captured the Supreme Court in response to decades of progress — but it doesn't have to be this way.

Sen. Ossoff: Tonight, Donald Trump, the world's most famous sore loser, will deliver a prime time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election.

Trump wants to cast doubts on 2020 so that he can sabotage the midterms — because he is DESPERATE and LOSING. But no matter how hard Trump and the GOP try, we’re still going to show up to vote and win by margins too big to rig!!

Over 2,000 days after his historic loss in the 2020 election, Donald Trump is still pushing the Big Lie that more than 60 courts (including numerous Trump-appointed judges) rejected. 🧵

Today's parties are hollow fundraising machines. But they don't have to be. A new report from @newamerica.org examines the Working Families Party as a model for rebuilding party organization from the ground up. www.newamerica.org/insights/ass...
A Model for Associational Party Building
New York’s Working Families Party demonstrates how political parties can rebuild community ties, foster participation, and translate electoral leverage into policy wins.

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president?

OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen.

COLBERT: Is that an endorsement?

OBAMA: It was not

America will get proportional representation one day. And sometime far in the future, we will look back and think: why did it take us so long?

Now let’s go make that history happen, sooner rather than never.

If U.S. electoral politics is going to survive the high court’s attack on equal rights, the game will have to change. trib.al/t6OKXAg

A future Democratic Congress and president must abolish the House’s system of single-member districts and elect members by proportional representation instead.

A Democratic president with simple majorities in Congress could enact proportional representation for the House—no amendments required.

50%+1 could end the filibuster, expand SCOTUS, expand the House, and enact PR by state.

And add new states like D.C. to rebalance the Senate while they’re at it

Proportional representation!
Yes. This is what Dave Pozen called "hardball as anti-hardball." Dems should aggressively gerrymander, but with the explicit goal of getting into power and passing statutes banning partisan gerrymandering nationwide.
There are things that are bright red lines. To counter conservative and Trumpian suppression of free speech, you do not get into power and suppress theirs.

I think you can easily argue the ongoing gerrymander wars with no end in sight are different
