Tough loss in TN but if you organized, volunteered, knocked doors, made calls, gave money, talked to your friends, voted Dem — maybe for the 1st time ever, don’t despair. Together, you and Aftyn Behn did something incredible to deliver single digit margin in a Trump 22 district. We see you! 💐

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Hey folks, it looks like @aftynbehn.bsky.social can flip the TN-7.
Really important to phone bank for this campaign if you can, no matter where you live.
This would be a huge win for progressives and another vote in the House.
