⬇️So true. And "actually campaign" means candidates have a minimal amount of funding to put up a website; print yard signs; buy voter data; drive around their district. Funding an ecosystem of candidates, as we just did in Virginia, is efficient and effective for candidates AND donors.

Last night, Democrats flipped 3 seats in MISSISSIPPI, breaking the supermajority in their state legislature. Democrats showed up and made massive gains in red districts all over the country. If you want to help do that in Missouri, HI! 👋👋 That is literally why we exist! 1/

We've run through the tape on today's races. Now keep on running to the next races! There are 23 more special elections coming right up. Support them all with one click, courtesy of @charlesgaba.com. Remember, 96% goes to Dem candidates, 4% goes to credit card fees, and 0% goes to Charles.

If we can mirror this in 2026, it takes away almost any advantage the GOP can gain from gerrymandering while adding some resilience to democracy by activating the maximum number of people around the cause of freedom.

Virginia shows how it's done! 1. Dems running in ALL 100 VA House districts 2. Strong grassroots funding for EVERY race 3. Volunteers writing postcards, door knocking, and phone banking all over Our roadmap for 2026, per @davidpepperoh.bsky.social Thanks @charlesgaba.com & @90for90.bsky.social!

By crowdfunding state legislative candidates, Blue Ohio @everystateblueoh.bsky.social has steadily grown the number of Dems running. They spread pro-democracy energy; raise statewide turnout for the top of the ticket; & force the GOP to defend their extremism. Join the community: www.blueohio.org

Tireless democracy defender @davidpepperoh.bsky.social previews very encouraging election prospects in Ohio, one of the most GOP-rigged states in the country. We must expand our competitive electoral map and Ohio is a prime target.

Tennessee refuses to act to keep kids, seniors, disabled people and working poor people from going hungry by funding SNAP. Join Blue Tennessee @everystatebluetn.bsky.social to crowdfund state legislative candidates who will protect SNAP--small recurring donations add up to big change.

This short🧵from @matthew.flux.community lays out as clearly and succinctly as I've ever seen how Democrats, writ large, waste much of the money we raise on late-in-the-cycle ad spending rather than the ongoing 24/7 capacity building required to win elections in the information age.

Defend democracy right now--there are 52,000 elections in 2 weeks, in 2025. Voting rules for 2026 in Maine; PA Supreme Court makeup; NJ and VA Gov and state legislatures; and lots more. Off-year elections are all about turnout. Wherever you live, help get out the vote. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Ohio, where the GOP excels at cheating, will nonetheless have a competitive Senate race in 2026. What's a really cheap way to boost Dem turnout statewide? Run for every state legislative seat and crowdfund every candidate with @everystateblueoh.bsky.social. Pro tip: You don't have to live in Ohio.

Join @everystatebluemo.bsky.social to crowdfund state legislative candidates running all over the state, including the ruby red parts. There are lots of Dems in MO--small recurring donations add up to lots of pro-democracy fight.

Another reason why sustained support of pro-democracy efforts in the most GOP-rigged states, such as Missouri and Tennessee, is critical even if you don't live there? As @jvl.bsky.social details here, those states are now trying to impose their (extremist) will on other states.

Crowdfund Dem infrastructure in 5 expansion states NOW to win in 2025, 2026 and beyond: Maine, Iowa, Alaska, Florida, and Texas. $60k raised already towards a $250k goal. Learn more and donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/hopiu... @hopiumchronicles.bsky.social

⬇️So true. The rules for 2026 in Maine are being set in 3 weeks, in 2025. If GOP succeeds in making voting more difficult this year, it will be that much harder to win next year.

Elect more Dems in Tennessee to keep @aftynbehn.bsky.social company! Join @everystatebluetn.bsky.social to crowd fund state legislative candidates in Tennessee.

A US House seat in Tennessee will be decided in a Dec 2 special election. Aftyn Behn is an experienced Dem fighter. #FlipTN07 #Aftyn4TN @aftynbehn.bsky.social

No need to wait until next year to get to work on elections or to donate. Choose a race coming up this fall from @taniel.bsky.social's guide. Prop 50 in California (creates 5 new Dem-leaning US House seats in response to Texas creating 5 new GOP-leaning seats) is the starting gun for 2026.

We will not finance a war against Americans--our health care; our neighbors; our cities; our kids. No dollars for dictatorship. Where are we in this fight and how did we get here--A must-read thread from @simonwdc.bsky.social

Amazing work in Virginia by @90for90.bsky.social and @charlesgaba.com.

Local ABC stations that refused to air Jimmy Kimmel's return are owned by Sinclair and Nexstar. These networks are the less-obvious local versions of Fox news, and want to buy many more local stations. @emptywheel.bsky.social explains how to push back on the stations and oppose new acquisitions.

Dear Ds in CA, NJ and VA - please vote on Day 1, or as early as you. When you vote early your names comes off GOTV rolls for the campaigns allowing them to move on to lower propensity voters, which increases D turnout and makes it more likely we win. Voting early = another way to help us win.

You know what entices great Dem candidates to run? A big pot of grassroots gold (aka "hard" money) waiting for them at the end of the primary. Give NOW to the eventual Dem nominee in these U.S. House races. 96% to Dem nominees. 4% to credit card fees. None to @charlesgaba.com or "overhead."

NJ Voters! Get those mail-in ballots sent in TODAY! Voting early boosts overall turnout. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will skip over you and GOTV others that need a nudge to get their ballot in, driving turnout through the roof.

Suggestion: Instead of restoring your Disney+ subscription, how about if everyone signs up to donate $10/month (or whatever) to Democratic candidates the moment Kimmel’s show comes on tomorrow night? Blue26.org

MAGA's failures have created opportunities we need to seize. Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan is now a target. Lay the groundwork with EARLY money to state parties in 5 expansion states chosen by @simonwdc.bsky.social: Alaska, Florida, Iowa, Maine, and Texas. secure.actblue.com/donate/hopiu...

Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft: "We have to campaign all year long--on, off years--and we have to do it everywhere." If you don't, "you leave these deserts where everyone thinks they're MAGA...as though they're the only story in town."

Dem candidate Mel Cartwright's yard signs were being stolen, so she bought 2 elec billboards with donations from the VA Value Pack fund, just in time for early voting! Vote on day one to supercharge turnout. Mel will skip you and GOTV others! @pattirich.bsky.social @90for90.bsky.social `

And, give to 27 VA Dems running in redder areas w/one click. Early voting starts Friday, September 19th! bsky.app/profile/char...

Give to VA Dems running in competitive races w/one click. Early voting starts Friday, September 19th! bsky.app/profile/char...

Amen to that. Dems running in redder places have a different job: force GOP to defend "safe" seats; help voters understand GOP is responsible for them losing health care, jobs, buyers; build power cycle over cycle. And w/average 16% Dem over-performance in 2025, some of them will win.

The Virginia grassroots has organized the state into 9 "Power Pack" regions, where activists work on a set of races from school board to Governor. Year round, cycle after cycle. A big reason your money goes a long way in VA! Voting starts Sept 19! @networknova.bsky.social @90for90.bsky.social

What's even better than winning the NJ Governor's race this November? A Democratic majority in the state legislature too. Support all the Dem candidates with one simple click. Not a PAC! 96% of money raised goes directly to candidates; 4% to credit card fees. Thanks to @charlesgaba.com

📣 #NEWJERSEY may seem like a blue state, but we can't take it for granted, especially for Governor. My Virginia fundraising effort has been very successful, but the NEW JERSEY page needs some love as well! 54 DAYS TO GO; donate today! #Blue25 secure.actblue.com/donate/njblu...

NJ Gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill: "The focus we have on costs and accountability and our kids and the pushback against Trump and the chaos and the tariffs and…you know raising costs everywhere...this race is setting the table for what we can achieve in 2026 and beyond."

We must expand the Dem electoral map by running even in places we won't win immediately. Good news/bad news is that the very obvious damage being done to the country and world by the MAGA GOP makes the job a little easier. @hornish.bsky.social

Hundreds of people have joined Blue Missouri @everystatebluemo.bsky.social in the past few weeks. Pro tip: You don't have to live in Missouri to join (I don't). In fact, pro-democracy forces in heavily gerrymandered states like Missouri really need help from outside the state, so pitch in!

Keep our streak going! Give to all the Dems running in upcoming special elections with one click-- @charlesgaba.com has done the research for you. 96% of money goes to candidates; 4% to credit card fees; 0% to "overhead" or Charles. bsky.app/profile/char...

Dems continue their average 16% over performance in special elections with 2 outsized wins in Florida yesterday. @the-downballot.com

"...more than *98%* of voters cast ballots that generate a paper record, allowing officials to confirm the accuracy of electronic vote totals. [The election] system has been built over many decades for accuracy and resiliency...the president’s actual authority over elections is extremely limited."

Why give NOW to the eventual Dem Senate nominee in Iowa (and elsewhere)? The Dem primary victor has no money. Cash on day 1 launches their general campaign. @swingleft.bsky.social pioneered this model in 2018, flipping 7 House seats in California alone. @charlesgaba.com's curated funds make it easy.

Join Blue Missouri to crowdfund state level Democratic candidates. The GOP state legislators now planning to further gerrymander the state to benefit the GOP deserve a well-funded opponent in their next campaign! @everystatebluemo.bsky.social

The GOP gerrymandering spree is creating a lot more House Districts that Democrats can win. GOP taking a big risk and it’s up to us to capitalize. @piperformissouri.bsky.social

Dems are contesting ALL 100 Virginia state house races in 2025. Give to candidates running in redder areas with one click, thanks to @charlesgaba.com. With money and volunteers, all of these candidates will hold the GOP's feet to the fire, deliver votes for the top of the ticket, and some will win.

The Iowa state Senate win that broke the GOP supermajority didn't just happen. People donated and worked. Run everywhere, organize everywhere. @piperformissouri.bsky.social

Democrat Catelin Drey won an Iowa state Senate seat yesterday by 10 pts, in a district Trump won by 11 pts in 2024, a 21 point swing toward Dems. Per @gelliottmorris.com, Dems averaging 16 pts ahead of where Harris was in 2024 in special elections in 2025--firmly in "blue wave" territory.

@davidpepperoh.bsky.social explains how to go on offense. A quarter of the GOP state legislators who just passed the mid-cycle gerrymander in Texas had no opponent last November. Run everywhere—bring attention; bring accountability; bring pressure.

Lots more seats are going to be winnable for Democrats, in places you might not expect. Run everywhere. @cwebbonline.com
