you can be arrested if you give water to people waiting on line to vote
The lies continue. He is offering money if people vote for him.
as a jew who cares a lot about these issues, the fact that the worlds richest and perhaps most powerful man routinely spouts nazi propaganda is very bad and the main story here. But I'd note there's a bit of a gender story in this "poll" as well.
Republicans' largest donor (by far) is hosting a robust debate on his platform about whether Jews are white. Corporate Media will ask precisely 0 Republicans about their largest donor's all-consuming misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, he will instead by referred to as a visionary industrialist.
At the most recent meeting, the DNC a) rejected a ban on ranked-choice voting, and b) passed a resolution to abolish ICE, all in a transparent process decided by the elected membership. That's a party functioning as a party should (by @davidoatkins.bsky.social) washingtonmonthly.com/2026/08/26/t...
I’m a DNC Committee Member. The Party Isn’t Broken
The recent meeting was a success despite the naysayers.

Ken Martin is raising gobs of money and spending it in ways that DC consultants don't like but that actually help win at all levels of government. The results have been profound in terms of both downballot wins, party infrastructure, and candidate recruitment. www.newsweek.com/dnc-chair-ke...
DNC Chair Ken Martin won’t let D.C. insiders define the Democratic Party
As the Democratic Party debates how to win in the era of Trump, Martin tells Newsweek the answers lie outside the beltway.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.
The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.
Building off of last week's successful DNC meeting, @democrats.org Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social just announced the following cities are finalists to host the 2028 Democratic National Convention: 🦞 Boston 🏔️ Denver 🔔 Philadelphia Where do you want to go?
Reminder that a reason the DNC is burning through $$ is its spending on stuff we like!
DNC also helped make sure @padems.org could staff our statewide voter protection team since the start of the year, being able to rehire key talent from 2024, and allowing us to be fully staffed on the ground in Butler this week.
Yes, having a DNC that gives a damn really does matter and has contributed to the 31-0 record in flips this cycle.

The DNC met in Austin this past week, and three things happened that are worth your time. The ranked choice voting ban is dead. "Abolish ICE" is now our official position. And we confirmed a six-state early window that includes Nevada & New Mexico – the most diverse early calendar in party history.

Inside the fight to kill the RCV ban, the vote that made "abolish ICE" official, and how New Mexico got into the early window.

I mean, if you want to go back to losing that's your business, but under Ken Martin we are kicking ass, raising record money, investing in state parties, and abolishing ICE. I know you and Rahm Emanuel are scared but you can step out of the panic room now. Get in loser we're going winning elections
Yes, record fundraising, record investments in state parties, rejecting insider RCV bans, crucial reforms to the primary calendar, calling for the abolition of ICE, but somehow Ken Martin is the problem instead of the actual truth, which is that he has been the solution.
Yet Ken Martin is still the head of DNC, dragging the party down.
Before a single state applied, the DNC agreed on three tests: is it rigorous, is it fair, is it efficient? I believed that the whole early window should look like our Party, not a piece of it. I'm proud to have made some small impact on this historic and diverse calendar. Now let's go win. 🖐️☝️
IT’S OFFICIAL: The DNC has voted to confirm the early window states for the 2028 Democratic presidential nominating process. These states reflect the diversity of America and will help ensure our nominee is best positioned to take back the White House in 2028.
BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!
BREAKING (and I use this tag with purpose and intention): The DNC has rejected efforts to ban Ranked Choice Voting from being used in presidential primaries. A huge win for DC, Maine, Alaska and other states who love our RCV systems and want the full voices of our voters to matter in 2028. Big W!
The DNC's General Session has begun. We will: ✅ pass the strongest & most diverse *six* state early calendar ✅ revise the proposed delegate selection rules to remove the RCV ban ✅ ensure the passage of the "abolish ICE" resolution. Watch the DNC make history here: www.youtube.com/live/medKEeh...

BREAKING: the DNC's Resolutions Committee just voted 25-12 to call for ABOLISHING ICE! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Leading up to the midterms, the DNC has traveled across the country to train aspiring and current campaign staffers so they can win competitive races. Our upcoming NextWave Regional Bootcamp will help us win up and down the ballot in the Midwest this November and beyond.
Mike Lindell can still win if Mike Pence does the right thing.
They can lie and say it's about the fundraising. It's an obvious lie, since Martin's fundraising has been record-breaking. They can say it's about the debt, but it's not, because they were the ones who gave us the debt. It's simply, as it has always been, about whether the money goes to them or not.
Via @ajcarrillo.bsky.social (someone you should follow, FYI): All the attacks on Ken Martin are retreads of the same anger that Clinton consultants had over Dean investing in state parties and organizing 20 years ago, and the consultant class will not be happy until Martin hands the reins back.
If Ken Martin hadn't started spending money in places where it went to hire organizers and hoarded it instead to spend on TV ads that made money for DC consultants, you'd be hearing DC media sing his high praises for his record-setting fundraising. But it's not about the $ coming in. It's going out
And let's not forget our friends in Puerto Rico, Guam, NMI, American Samoa & others, who the Pod Save bros think are unworthy of DNC funding. I won't stand for borderline racist attacks on American citizens -- downballot races always matter, regardless of whether you live in a territory or a state.
Think about what the Democratic Parties in Kansas, Mississippi, Idaho, West Virginia, and everywhere else are able to do with $25,000 a month. They're able to hire executive directors, hire organizers, build sustainable infrastructure, all of which helps win state legislative and municipal races.
Under Ken Martin, the DNC has raised nearly double it raised under the last comparable period. And we're investing millions into @demstateparties.bsky.social, building the infrastructure we need to win everywhere. These wins are the result of the DNC's strategy. Thank you @kenmartin.bsky.social!
Newsweek Fact Checkers Say This 👇 Is True.......
This is super crucial and important reading on the DNC and Ken Martin. It is the story you are not being told in essence because political media has zero interest in telling it. timwegener.substack.com/p/i-sit-on-t...
I Sit on the DNC Finance Committee. Rufus Gifford Has the Job Description Wrong.
The greatest political malpractice of my lifetime happened in 2024. Those that were part of it have not earned the presumption that they know what the party needs.
