Remarkable numbers, here.
Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone told us, "It's who controls the state government... this is about an election. We gotta fight it out on a state-by-state basis." Stay tuned for new undercover video tomorrow ahead of the LA premiere of #GonzoForDemocracy...
This is an important, grassroots-driven success story about politics - well worth checking out.

Harris repeats that she wants to keep the price of eggs stable and fair and the billionaire donors are rebelling says a lot about both market concentration and money in politics.
"Pet chameleon"
Yes! Run for Something, Coach Kerr.
Make no mistake: AFSCME is all in for the Harris-Walz ticket. While Donald Trump’s Project 2025 wants to dismantle unions, @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz want to expand our freedoms.
We’d believe this big talk from the Governor more if she meaningfully supported policies that worked for working families instead of enriching her ultra-wealthy, big corporation friends #DemConvention
Great debunking of the notion that so many people giving $10 and $25 campaign donations is a big problem for democracy. (A more accurate view might be that more engagement in the process is the essence of democracy.)
Some significant and optimistic news here about enthusiasm within the Democratic base...
News: Democratic donors gave a total of $151 million to House and Senate races through the @actblue fundraising platform in the first quarter of 2024. @maxpcohen with the details: punchbowl.news/article/actblu…
video shows RFK Jr’s NY director laying out a clear plan: “The Kennedy voter & the Trump voter—our mutual enemy is Biden. … if nobody gets to 270, Congress picks the president. So who are they going to pick if it’s a R Congress? They’ll pick Trump.”
The racism has always been lurking but the pride in brand seems to have grown and the pretense has shrunk. nytimes.com/2024/02/13/us/…
Good news for the year ahead.
Small-dollar donors donated over $1.1 billion using ActBlue in 2023 to support the causes that matter most to them. Republican attacks on reproductive freedom & access to abortion were top among those motivating causes. Details: blog.actblue.com/2024/02/12/202…
Important big money transparency issue here - keep an eye on responses. Great work by @IssueOneReform, @Public_Citizen, @CommonCause, @CampaignLegal, @usapromise, @bfamericaus, @LWV, @MichiganCFN, and NLPC.
NEW: A crosspartisan coalition led by @IssueOneReform is calling on presidential candidates @JoeBiden @realDonaldTrump @NikkiHaley @deanbphillips @marwilliamson @RyanBinkley & @RobertKennedyJr to identify their campaign bundlers issueone.org/press/crosspar…
Good to see the attention being given to this less-publicized issue. Critically important for a functioning democracy, yet election funding is threatened.
Read the new op-ed from @HouseAdm_Dems ranking member @RepJoeMorelle and Defend The Vote Action Fund ED @brianlemek Congress must provide the "funding that election officials need to meet the challenges of 2024 and to keep elections running smoothly this year and beyond."
A small example of what Citizens United has wrought. Before, the max contribution to a candidate was $2k, not enough to buy them. Then SCOTUS let corporations & the rich set up unlimited super PACs. Now candidates sell themselves for super PAC money. nytimes.com/2024/01/17/us/…
Here’s what state legislators, prosecutors, and members of Congress must do to strengthen our democracy in 2024 and prevent another January 6: bit.ly/48JNStY
Disclosure, accountability, and the rule of law are all foundations of a healthy democracy and those are ideals that No Labels continues to reject. The American people deserve to know who is paying to play spoiler in the upcoming election.
Yesterday, along with 8 pro-democracy groups, we sent a letter calling on No Labels to release a list of their donors or face legal action, first reported by @Robillard @Huffpost huffpost.com/entry/campaign…
"If a drag queen wants to read you a story at a library, listen to her because knowledge is power, and if someone tries to restrict your access to power, they are trying to scare you. So listen to a drag queen!" —RuPaul’s #Emmys speech
