I'm convinced we can do this without the DCCC. We've got Run For Something, Leaders We Deserve, DSA, Working Families Party, etc., and the best organizers in the country are on this platform. We did it without AIPAC, pharm money, Elon, Palantir, the mil-ind complex. Someone's working on this, right?

Fun @runforsomething.net fact: 60% of our 240 winners were in states Trump won in 2024. In those states, education was the most common top issue for our state/local candidates -- mostly about defending public schools from vouchers.

YOU are what we just voted against. Explain to voters why you're sponsoring the BAAJA, fast-tracking AI Data Centers & the infrastructure they need to run. And it would make it tougher for communities to challenge bad projects in court. I guess it's just coincidence you hold $12M in AI stock.

Americans want more affordable energy. Our bipartisan permitting reform bill gets it done.

It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it. The cost of the 2026 midterms will exceed $11.9B. OpenSecrets estimates that $1.5B in dark-money contributions had already entered outside-spending groups during this cycle. There's more going on in campaign finance laws beside Citizens United.

Midterm polling shows American voters were very concerned with fixing political corruption. We agree. That’s why we’ve worked to expose pay-to-play politics and hold those in power accountable. Now it’s time for Congress to act. We have solutions:

We still have work to do. Sign it. Write your senators and reps, call them, every single week. Jeffries OUT. Schumer OUT. AIPAC OUT!!!!

Jeffries is famous for talking nearly 9 hours to accomplish basically nothing. Now he wants to talk more about doing less. This has been a disastrous two years. If this Bluenami doesn't wash some sins, the message will be "accountability is when you get yelled at a bit". Say NO to Jeffries.

Today, a judge in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $25 billion for misleading users on data privacy and a range of other statements that a jury deemed deceptive (and willfully so). Last month I broke down the jury's determinations on each of the questions posed to it:

The Russian connection to Elon Musk, is proven. This may be news to some, but we'we known this for some time, and worth repeating👇 Musk used multiple investors to buy Twitter, now X. One of the investors was 8VC. 8VC employs the sons of sanctioned Russian oligarchs Radim Moshkovich and Petr Aven.

Who helped Musk acquire Twitter? There’s a Russian connection | Cybernews

Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter involved many financial institutions, banks, and investment funds – but also, indirectly, Russian oligarchs, tied to the Kremlin.

The platform X, owned by Elon Musk, is a propaganda tool for the #MAGA movement and Russian intelligence. X actively engages in censorship, undermines free speech and democracy. I urge all individuals and businesses to log off and delete their accounts, because using X supports fascism. ⤵️

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Pay attention to where you get your news from. This video was posted over an hour ago. There has been zero substantiation that this was a "terror attack." And look at how many Western MSM are reporting it based on "Israeli sources tell us." I mean it could be true, but we do not know that yet.

Hey all. A dear unhoused friend of mine Giselle Harrell was arrested by the cops this afternoon for missing a court date. They've set her bail at 75k which is fucking ridiculous. We're asking if folks can all the Van Nuys jail at (818) 374-9500 option 6 to call for her release.
