Johnson: If we lose the majority… They will try to end the Trump administration. He won't have 4 years. He'll have only 2, because they will move to impeach him, probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027 and try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we've done."

Amen, sister! In Alabama's reddest district, 30% voted Democratic in 2024. Statewide, 34% voted for Harris. We're here, and we're doing what we can. Don't give up on us.

@indivisiblebham.bsky.social, @aldems.bsky.social, any chance there will be a Democratic candidate running against Gary Palmer in 2026? I know it's likely a losing cause, but it's important to try.
Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.
Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.
No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.
