What we've seen is when the political winds are blowing strongly in one direction, money is not a silver bullet to staving that off. But as a former congressional candidate, I can tell you that I couldn't get the press or national organizations to focus on #CA14 because of a lack of money.
Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · 2h agoWe need campaign finance reform but the last 10 years clearly shows that more money does not equal more votes. Clinton outspent Trump in 2016. Musk outspent the Dems this year. Both lost.
Looking very much forward to the impeachment of Bobby Jr., which should follow Hegseth. Science season begins.

I stopped by Renee and Alex’s memorials today and was inspired to see all those who showed up to pay their respects and leave an “I voted” sticker. We have not forgotten. Accountability is coming.
Minnesota just voted to protect: Free school meals ✅ Paid family leave ✅ The Child Tax Credit ✅ Reproductive freedom ✅ Our natural resources ✅
kornacki cam ruled the coverage last night because it's the ideal blend of traditional tv news and contemporary streamer ethos you get the major network imprimatur, the professionalism, the resources but: not too glossy, very intimate, parasocial, wonkish, For The Real Ones
give her an infinite budget and let her do whatever the fuck she wants

For starters, bring back IRS Direct File. Musk bros killed it because it was successful.
Nome@nome.bsky.social · 14h ago- ReadyReturn for taxes The government, every year, sends you a postcard (or text or email, as you choose) which says "This is the amount we've calculated you owe / will be receiving. If you would like to dispute this, check this box and return it to us with your own tax filing." And that's it.
The Oregon conservatives keep showing maps of Oregon that are mostly red and only a few tiny spots of blue and complain a minority of people control the state. Here's a map to help visualize the people of Oregon. It's important to remember that acreage doesn't have voting rights, people do.
This is the most compelling revenge story I've ever read. This is some Count of Monte Cristo shit.
Omar Wasow@owasow.bsky.social · 20h ago2023: “U.S. Sen.

Damn, I don't like her either but that's a little extreme.
And I need folks to know too that that Alabama seat wasn't some blue seat she managed to hold, SHE FLIPPED THAT!!

THIS JUST IN: Democrats have FLIPPED the Texas State Board of Education! This is a monumental win for Texas students, families, and the entire education community in our great state. Congratulations to our incredible candidates!
if you're doing this, please spare 2 sentence to voice support for trans rights while you're at it
Richard Ferro, MD MSc@richferro.com · 17h agoYou want to know what you can do? Like right now? Pick up your phone, and call the two senators for your state. Tell them your name, your zip code, and say you want new leadership when the Dems take the senate majority next year. It will take MINUTES and could make a monumental difference.
One small example: The No Kings folks (Indivisible) explicitly got off X and stuck to BlueSky/some IG and that organizing turned out pretty well
Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 17h agoJokes aside, Bluesky effectively replaced the blogosphere of 2002-2009 which drove the blue wave of 2006 and election of Barack Obama in 2008. Politically homogeneous social media is GOOD for organizing and generating enthusiasm. We need to protect it this time.
I like to add one more to this: codify women’s reproductive rights.
Mo Ryan@moryan.bsky.social · 17h agoGreat piece & IMO, we stay on all their necks until we: expand the SC undo Citizens United Medicare for All protect trans folks tax the rich (esp billionaires) abolish ICE shore up voting rights yeet private equity into the sun real regulation on tech, AI, surveillance anti-trust a real thing again
