Happy New Year!

The focus of 2026 will be on November, but we have to remember that in the first 6 months of the year will give us the opportunity to flip between 5-10 State Legislative seats and up to 4 State Supreme Court seats, not to mention numerous primaries.

The fight for 2026 starts TODAY!

It's January 1st.

That means Republicans have officially allowed Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire despite months of warnings from Democrats and pleas from Americans.

Now tens of millions will face massive premium hikes or be priced out of care altogether.

You just know that they don’t want anyone to know about this if they released it on New Year’s Eve.

The fact is that Jack Smith was in full command of both the facts and the law during his testimony, and Trump unsurprisingly came out looking very bad.

With the 2025 election season concluded, we can calculate that on average, Democrats outperformed Kamala Harris by 13.5 points.

For comparison, in 2017, Democrats outperformed Hillary Clinton by an average of 10 points, while in 2021, Republicans tended to outperform Trump by 5 points.
Iowa State Senate 16 - UPDATE:

- 🔵 ☑️ Renee Hardman (D) - 6,175 (73.1%)
- 🔴 Lucas Loftin (R) - 2,276 (26.9%)

We can project that Renee Hardman will win election to the Iowa State Senate.

Politically, any hires from this campaign are sure to backfire in a very public way. These folks will likely be more incompetent and cruel than their predecessors, and that will only create more resistance. Practically, it means many more people are going to be unnecessarily targeted and hurt.
Exclusive: ICE officials plan to spend $100 million to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted ad campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy to hire thousands of officers, according to an internal document.

Congrats to Renee Hardman on her over 40-point victory in SD-16 tonight. As the sixth straight Democratic overperformance in special elections since 2024, it’s clear Iowans are ready for change as we head into 2026.

Iowa Dems remain absolutely ablaze.

They started 2025 with a shocking double-digit overperformance in a State Senate seat (that unexpectedly flipped) and they ended 2025 with a shocking double-digit overperformance in a State Senate seat, with several others wins (and one other flip) in between.
Looks like most of the vote is in for the Iowa #SD16 (Harris+17) special election:

Renee Hardman (D)- 73.3%
Lucas Loftin (R)- 26.7%

Nearly a 30 point overperformance to cap off an amazing 2025 for the Iowa Democrats

The last special election of 2025 happens on December 30th - and it has huge implications especially if you live in West Des Moines. If you live in IA SD-16, please get out and vote for Renee Hardman so that the GOP doesn't get the supermajority in the Iowa State Senate.

Oh wow.

This is big - and welcome - news in New York where Republicans have routinely highjacked the Working Families Party ballot line to siphon off votes from Democratic candidates.

In particular, this has been a shady tactic used by Mike Lawler in #NY17.

After the Senate scuttled his nomination due to his ‘I have a Nazi streak’ texts, Donald Trump gave Paul Ingrassia a soft landing with a different cushy job in his administration, and staffers are pissed.

Reminder that we have a very ill-timed special election tonight in IA Senate District 16.

This is a Harris +17/ Biden +19 district, so we should be good here. Curious what the numbers look like but being a holiday week, I won't be reading too much into this one.

Obviously the last special of 2025
