If you get turned away from your polling place because staff at the polling locations are telling you that you were redistricted out of TN-7 despite what the online information is indicating, please request a provisional ballot. Call the hot line number, 1-833-DEM-VOTE if there are any issues.
Hey TN today is your chance to flip this seat and elect @aftynbehn.bsky.social. She’ll fight: to lower grocery bills, for better roads, and to save rural hospitals! Polls are open until 7 PM CST! Make a plan to vote and bring with you or tell friends to vote for her! See below if you need a ride.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
