WHO WE ARE
An aggregation of US #SenateEndorsements for Democratic Candidates:
Demo candidates grouped by allied goal endorsements of national groups. In general, a sea of blue. Swing or Red states are exceptions.
Many organizations don’t finalize who they will back until the end of the primary season, in mid-Sept. Their endorsements are not complete, nor their final view of candidates. Combining various organization w/ similar goals overcomes that problem.
We know what the GOP has become. This is who we are. Most favor human rights, sensible gun laws, fair wages, health care, ending corruption, social justice, and saving the environment and the World. Simply, plain human decency, and our survival.
What kind of people oppose decency and survival?
I am proud to be allied with you.
Additional endorsements:
CA - Kevin de León - AFL/CIO, Climate Hawk Vote, DUH, DFA, Everytown Gun Sense
Del - Kerri Evelyn Harris - DFA
ME - Zak Ringelstein - DUH, Everytown Gun Sense
MO - Jo Crain - Everytown Gun Sense

Did you know that 43 GOP Reps voted 4 sexual abuse brownnoser Jim Jordon instead of Kevin McCarthy 4 House Minority Leader? The vote was secret, so we don’t know exactly whom. But Jordan was the founder & former chair of House @freedomcaucus, which has about 30-60 members.
We really don’t know who they are, or how many, because they are closeted. Why would Reps who are espousing freedom choose to be secret? Given their support for Jordon, they should be called the Freedom to Molest Caucus, or simply the #PedophileCaucus.
Based on a number of factors and confessions, we can make an educated GUESS on who they are. I suggest we put them on the top of the list for defeating in 2020.

@jennycohn1 @loonyberg Yes, the board is full of Reaganite and George Bush cronies. I think it’s safe to say that the entire organization’s purpose is pushing electronic voting, and especially EDS, and thereby subverting democracy around the world.
@jennycohn1 @loonyberg The government funding you see from the State Department. The UN also funds it.
@jennycohn1 @loonyberg Electronic voting actually originated with George W. Bush’s Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, with the US govt helping to fund ($3.9B to start) the development and implementation of electronic systems. And yes, Republicans have mostly pushed it.

This outrage is directed at something called "normalized vote" and is a cornerstone of just about every partisan fairness metric. The court-appointed 11th member of New Jersey's state legislative commission has used it in the past 4 redistricting cycles
In the 1970s Rutgers political scientist Donald Stokes was appointed by the NJ Supreme Court as the 11th or tie-breaking member of the newly created NJ state legislative apportionment board
Faced with 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans, Stokes said that he would vote for the party's plan that best achieved a set of criteria that he had devised, including one for partisan fairness

I can’t overstate just how impressive the @KyrstenSinema win is for her, her team, Arizona activists, Arizona donors and the small cadre of people who have made it their mission to turn my home state blue
Six years ago, we ran a WAR HERO FORMER REPUBLICAN SURGEON GENERAL who had a life story so crazy inspiring that I thought it had to be fake when I first got approached about joining his campaign (it’s not, he’s legit in every way and I loved working for him)
We put everything into that race, and outperformed basically all expectations…and we still fell 4 points short. We were APPLAUDED at the time for getting that close…and we lost by 180,000 voters!!!

🌊🗳️#Democratic Americans—the ones who are standing up for Democracy—have gone to "extraordinary lengths" to promote candidates and get out the vote. They've:

▶️Quit jobs
▶️Delayed school
▶️Moved across country
▶️Worked without pay

To stand up for Democracy and their country.
🙌👊Thank you to all of them.

@nytimes: Their zeal speaks to the historic political moment, in which a dizzying array of House races across the country have begun to feel as consequential as a presidential election.

💥💥Swing Left @swingleft reported that they knocked on more than one million doors!!!

President says civilian federal workers will not get a raise in 2019. Most folks think that most federal employees work here in the Washington area - but actually the opposite is true: 80% work elsewhere, including swing and red states /1
Approximate number of civilian govt. workers/voters in the following states will not get raises in 2019, because of @realDonaldTrump's decision today:
#FL: 79K
#GA: 72K
#IA: 9K
#KY: 23K
#MICH: 26K
#MO: 34K
#NC: 44K
#OH: 50K
#PA: 60K
#TX: 114K
#VA: 136K
#WV: 15K
#WISC: 15K
(OPM)
/3 Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin & Pennsylvania by some 80,000 votes, but says today that he's denying 101,000 civilian workers in those states a raise next year - and announcing it two months before a midterm election, and two years before he'll likely face voters again himself

Today, France celebrates #BastilleDay The Storming of the Bastille occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of 14 July 1789. The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the center of Paris.

#14Juillet
The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuses of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
During the reign of Louis XVI, France faced a major economic crisis, caused in part by the cost of intervening in the American Revolution, and exacerbated by a regressive system of taxation.

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: time to tweetstorm my latest print column! washingtonpost.com/opinions/democ…
As always, this tweetstorm will not reprise the column! It will discuss only things that are not mentioned in the column So you should read the column too.
I will, however, sum up the nut key takeaway: rich blue states face a mounting tension between their goals for a big, progressively funded federal government, and their local self-interest.
