Dems could possibly flip Texas in 2026! Which would likely be the beginning of the end for GOP power in America. But, it will take lots of $ and volunteer hours. Are you ready to help build the Blue Wave in 2026?
What Blexas would look like, given a blue wave and minority reversion.

Made a uniform shift from 2024 Prez of D+8, and then shifted Hispanics and Asians D+20 from 2024 Prez.

Result statewide is D+3

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social, with her cool, almost objective takes on the current moment in U.S. history, always manages to reassure.

And she’s right.

tRvmp is NOT a popular President, by any stretch of the imagination, and a 💩⛈️ is coming! 😏

Big news: Indiana Republicans signal they still do not have the votes to re-gerrymander the state, and that the Senate won't convene the Senate after all in December.

Getting 1-2 seats out of Indiana was central to the GOP's redistricting-war math.

📌 Argentina gives residents and tourists free healthcare: medical, hospital, dental, emergency care, the whole thing.
