We can flip some if we run candidates who follow the tried-and-true strategy of "attack, attack, attack" instead of the proven-loser of "emphasize your common ground with Republicans."

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.
This is just getting comical now for the DuPage County GOP, in Trump+1 Addison Township (a rare Republican-trending portion of the County):
-The INCUMBENT Republicans for Clerk & Township Supervisor are LOSING
-Democrats are currently winning 4 out 4 Township Board seats, ALL AGAINST INCUMBENTS!

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Republicans are all in on the Department of Grandma Elimination
I wrote about why Dems should not only NOT indulge the transparently bad faith "DOGE committee", but should be messaging––in unison and at the top of their lungs––that it's just a rebranded Cat Food Commission designed to take away grandma's social security, weaken workers, and gut public education.
Progressives Should Reject the DOGE Scam
There’s nothing to gain from indulging the premise that Musk and Trump care about “government waste”—it’s a ploy to gut the entire liberal state.
