IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS
More individual candidates are receiving contributions than the DNC - people understand!
That will force change!
We stopped contributing to the DNC when they blackballed organizations that opposed DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENTS and AFTER THEY SUPPORTED CORRUPT CUELLAR! (tRump owns him now!)
Don't abandon the PARTY simply because it needs to change. Like it or not, it's the only UMBRELLA for PROGRESSIVES!
They're getting that swift kick in an effective way!
There was a chart about CONTRIBUTIONS to individual candidates - I think it may have been on THE DOWNBALLOT. The amounts are staggering
They have also included a lot of information about the ANONYMOUS DARK MONEY as well as some of the FAKE GROUPS that are difficult to track down.
It's not just the PHONEY REPUBLICAN groups meddling in elections, but AIPAC keeps creating more groups to defeat any candidate who dares to condemn ISRAEL'S GENOCIDE.
Because VOTER support for ISRAEL'S KILLINGS is waning, AIPAC has gotten particularly aggressive this election cycle.
What ISRAEL has done and continues to do to innocent people is not defensible.
FLORIDA: Is this a person our nation wants in office?
This is what BARRY FINE said:
"There is no suffering adequate for these animals."
"May the streets of Gaza overflow with blood."
Randy Fine is a bigot, plain and simple.
HIS OPPONENT: Ronnie Murchinson-Rivera, a Democrat, a father, husband, and a former law enforcement and EMS professional.
This is a PETITION from DEMAND PROGRESS:
More than 100 U.S. Representatives voted last week to block $3.3 billion in military funding for Israel. It's a seismic shift, bringing Congress closer to ending U.S. complicity with Israel's atrocities in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran.
Be careful when you decide to support a candidate - make sure to research their funding - you can SEARCH: OPEN SECRETS: 'ENTER CANDIDATE'S NAME' - and it should include $$$ amounts of funding. (I always encourage to kick in a nominal contribution when you use their resources. If you putter around their site, they offer some impressive information.)
You're right! But CHANGE is being forced, partly do to KEN MARTIN's failures, but also because candidates the PARTY is not promoting are being supported by INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS in small dollar amounts.
Just look at MAINE - even though PLATNER flubbed, voters rejected GOV. JANET MILLS, the DEM PARTY ENDORSED CANDIDATE.
VOTERS are dictating to the DEM PARTY!
Great example of the positive power of the states. I’m in Utah, an example of the harm a state can do. Ugh.
So sorry, but change can happen. I am originally from Montana and I understand the mindset that perceives the Dems as only being concerned about the “ big cities”. To some extent it is true. But there is good change happening in MT., though I am hoping for more. It can happen in Utah too. 🙂
Agreed. Blue voters are active and rising in Utah. Our Lt. Gov is holding the line on turning over voter records to the DC regime. There are definite rays of light and hope. Witnessing what is happening in Montana is heartening. We just have to keep pushing, showing up, calling, and writing. Thanks for your comment.
I'm in MA but I've got a regular correspondent in MT along with a few other contacts (plus I'm a big fan of Ryan Busse!), so I absolutely believe!
“A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution, is power without a right.” - Thomas Paine
We have the power to change this.
"Democrats show time and time again that when given the chance to govern, they do what they can to help as many people as possible. Republicans do the opposite. What do you call that?" Considering the state of the nation, I call that a betrayal of democracy.
What do you call it? Heartless.
...and EVIL!!!

I call it betrayal
Of all the hardworking, caring Americans!!!!!
a) I hope Troy Jackson was vetted better than the last guy; b) The MI race is an establishment (AIPAC?) Dems vs. the DSA/AOC-Bernie wing thing, so it will be interesting to see what happens; c) I sure hope that if he wins Osborn is not another Fetterman; d) C'mon, Iowa, get yer sanity back and vote for Turek; e) Lt. Col. Vindman served with valor and integrity and is clearly the better candidate, but it's Floriduh, after all. . .

I don't think you need to worry there. Troy Jackson has been in the Maine legislature for years (including serving as Majority Leader and Senate President), a lumberjack fixture in District 1, with his doings, and stances part of the state news. The Wikipedia article isn't a bad place to start, if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Jackson
(My personal favorite was Sheena Bellows, but I can accept that she might have had more difficulty with more conservative GOP and MAGA voters, and we absolutely have to have a Democrat in that seat.)
I call the GOP response to “governing” a scared, sociopathic, selfish, evil and sickening willingness to follow the psychopathic wishes of their evil, rapist, lying, criminal leader. I hold hope that the heart of true Americans will end the MAGAts’ rule. Seriously, look up the definitions of sociopathic and psychopathic personalities. It fits.
We must work to make sure that these repuglicans are never in power again!!!!!
🤑 Greed: the Republicans are not helping the people they serve. Instead , they funnel money 💸 from the hard working every day people to the elite billionaires. And the wealth is not trickling down!
Each of these local and statewide victories is building the momentum for a big Democratic win in November, and an even bigger win for Democracy. Let's keep the foot on the gas, folks, the finish line is in sight.
So our wonderful Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy was telling the administration that circumcision causes autism. Don't fall off your chairs. This was on the David Reddish show. So then what is Moron Kennedy's explanation for autism in girls?
All MAGA are haters and do not care about others. I just found out from my MAGA neighbor that he pays taxes but I don't. I am proud to be a Democrat and that I willingly help people.
How do MAGA believers get so warped?
When RFK JR. was running for office and people supported him, I was baffled!
He LIES, contradicts himself endlessly...and the stories are horrifying!
Is this from long term heroin addiction?
WE have a massive CYCLOSPORA epidemic that RFK JR refuses to address.
CYCLOSPORA: my understanding from reading several articles is that once the PARASITE is introduced into the public market, the ORIGINAL SOURCE can't be determined.
So there's a BOOB (RFK JR) who slashed funding, staff, eliminated inspections, eliminated EXPERTS and we have DIARRHEA spreading?
Wasn't it bad enough when he slashed CRUISE SHIP INSPECTORS?

DeSantis-appointed Senator Moody tries to fly under the radar except with her MAGA base.📣📣📣
“As Florida Attorney General, it was Moody and her office that approved the diversion of $10 million of taxpayer money to the Hope Florida Foundation. And the Attorney General did so without placing any of the safeguards or guardrails her office would typically require to make sure the money was properly spent.”
“These funds were intended to expand Medicaid for children in Florida, but instead they ended up in the bank accounts of a pair of political action committees, one of which was controlled by the governor and his chief of staff, James Uthmeier.”
The more people know about the SAVE Act, the more they oppose. Moody is up for election, unfortunately fraudster Rick Scott has 4 more years.
“But despite that reality, a handful of vocal right-wingers joined in on Lee’s calls.”
“I stand with @basedmikelee. I will vote to stay in session unless we have passed the SAVE America Act. The American people expect us to deliver. They deserve secure elections,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) chimed in.
“The Senate needs to stay in session until we can get the SAVE America Act to the floor and passed,” Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) agreed on X.

It does seem like a lot of Republicans are doing crazy destructive things. I do not believe that all Republicans are "on board" with all of it. I live in a very Republican area and have many friends who are Republican. What I see is that in general Republicans who get most of their information from very Republican friendly sources do not have all of the facts. They have become very distrustful of Democratic politics. They are fearful that Democrats spend tax dollars freely without discretion, ( yes, I know that is what Trump is doing), they feel very concerned about medical freedom and having the right to make their own choices, ( and they do have some basis for concern since Democrats have pushed mandates for poorly tested vaccines), and they question whether Democrats will create more wasted spending on inefficient, poorly administered social services. The Democratic party has a real messaging problem. There are a number of long-time Democrats who are dependent on wealthy doners and who try to keep from rocking their boats too hard. Big Money has become an infection in both parties. This is a time for rocking some boats really hard, and for sinking a few that are too corrupted to repair. It is also a time to start forming alliances across party lines by getting back to civil debate, establishing a base line for ethics and transparency, and making politics about service to the people and the nation rather than a cozy vehicle to feather your own nest.
I have few complaints about Democrats in general. It’s time the party infrastructure at the top gets a reset!
