To my fellow anxious, sleepless non-Republicans:
Know about the 3 House of Reps special elections coming up? If we win all three, we retake the House:
FL 1 [Gay Valimont (D)]
FL6 [Joshua Weil (D)]
NY 21 [Blake Gendebien (D)]
Donate to Dems in those races, and earn the right to relax! 🤷♂️😘

Be advised that whoever is behind the “Psychedelic Mushrooms advocate” account is a scammer. If you friended them because we were mutuals, do not engage.
