Republicans are holding the House by a razor-thin margin. Winning it back is doable—and it’s how we put a real check on Trump.

Democrats won’t win back trust by talking louder. We’ll win by listening earlier—and talking to everyone, not just “likely Democratic voters.”

That’s what Ground Truth is building.

NEW in The Grassroots Connector ⤵️

Swing Left Managing Director Zack Malitz on the persuasion opportunity Democrats keep missing–voters who are reachable if we actually hear them out.

And Ground Truth is already surfacing these voters in swing districts across the country.

Alarmist headlines are the point.

Trump’s “take over voting” talk has no legal basis and no evidence behind it. Elections are run by states, and they’re secure.

They want doubt. We choose participation.

“Every single dollar, every hour, every volunteer shift, had to have a purpose.”

Taylor Rehmet’s 14 point win in a district Trump won by 17 points wasn’t due to a flashy campaign. It was a disciplined one.

That’s how we turn real Democratic momentum into big wins.
How Democrats flipped a ruby red Senate seat in North Texas
Observers of the race said Rehmet’s working-class appeal, along with Latino and suburban backlash to GOP policies, fueled his win in a district Donald Trump carried by 17 points.

Flipping the House in 2026 starts now—by rebuilding trust, door by door, in competitive swing districts.

Ground Truth is how Swing Left is doing that.

The FBI just seized records from an election office in Fulton County, Georgia—an escalation of Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to discredit the 2020 election results.

Years later, Trump is still pushing attempts to relitigate the election he lost, even after courts and audits found no fraud.

After covering a protest at a Minnesota church, Don Lemon and independent MN journalist Georgia Fort were arrested by federal authorities — even though a judge declined charges.

That’s not normal, and it’s not something we should shrug off.

Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards, his attorney, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement posted on social media.

NEW: Swing Left is expanding Ground Truth voter conversations in Colorado’s 8th District.

The focus: starting early, listening to voters, and flipping this GOP-held seat to Democrats in 2026.

BREAKING: Republicans just used their majority in the House to fund ICE's unlawful, unconstitutional practices.

It's worth remembering: A Democratic majority could put guardrails on that funding.

When the moment feels heavy, the answer isn’t disengagement—it’s focus.

Big news out of Virginia: Democrats passed a redistricting amendment that could allow the state to redraw its congressional map and push back against GOP gerrymanders nationwide.

This is what governing power makes possible—and why electing Democrats matters

There’s no shortcut to a Democratic House majority. We have to build it—by starting early, listening deeply, and organizing where it counts.
January 17, 2026 at 7:16 PM
What’s unfolding in Minnesota makes one thing clear: power matters.

A Democratic House majority would give us a real way to push back when the Trump administration crosses dangerous lines.

If we want accountability, flipping the House this fall is how we get there.

Each of these House Republicans voted to raise health care prices for everyday Americans—and they’re all facing competitive elections this fall.

We’re laser-focused on holding them accountable and flipping their seats in the midterms.

Republican Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07) attacked the Affordable Care Act for years—now he’s trying to rewrite the record.

Pennsylvanians deserve representatives who don’t flip-flop on health care when elections get close.

January 6 was a violent attempt to overturn a free and fair election.

In its aftermath, many Republicans chose to excuse, minimize, or defend what happened.

One of them: Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania 🧵

No single person’s work wins the House. No single donation, or conversation, or weekend.

But when thousands of small actions stack up in the right places, they can change the balance of power and the direction of the country.

And that’s exactly what we’re building toward together.
