⚠️📣 NEW! I've raised nearly $2.5 million for hundreds of candidates. In response to several requests, here's a new page for those who want to narrow their donations down (I'll explain below). Donate to these races TODAY! #BlueTsunami2020
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…
SENATE: I've deliberately avoided the "marquee races" which are receiving so much buzz (Kelly in AZ, Gideon in ME, McGrath in KY, etc.). They're flooded w/$ already. Instead, I'm focusing on "2nd tier" races which are very winnable but need the $ more.
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…
HOUSE: This page includes ~30 races (incumbents & challengers) which are rated "toss-ups" by the Cook Report, plus 10 which will be CRITICAL if the Presidential election gets thrown to the U.S. House (a real possibility this year!), like AK-AL, MT-AL, etc:
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…
So, for anyone who wants to help #FlipTheSenate, #KeepTheHouseBlue, #ExpandTheBlueHouse *AND* protect the Presidency in the event of a "Contingent Election" ALL IN ONE SHOT, donate to these races!

(h/t @aaronsojourner for the heads up):
newsweek.com/how-defeat-tru…
Dems hold the Congressional majorities in 22 states. The GOP holds it in 26 states. MI & PA are split 50/50.

I've included the following races specifically to deal with this: AK-AL, MT-AL, FL-15, FL-16, FL-18, MI-03, MI-06, PA-01, PA-10, WI-01 & WI-08.

OH DEAR GOD.

This LITERALLY DEFEATS THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF HEALTH INSURANCE: SHARED RISK.
AGAIN: This graph is the single most important explainer of how risk pools work & the dangers of separating people out into risk pools based on their CURRENT health.

5% of the population racks up over 50% of total healthcare spending. Image
If you throw them under the bus, healthcare costs for the other 95% of the population drops in half, except for one small problem even IF you don't care about Grandma or Cousin Fred Who Was Just Diagnosed With Cancer:

You never know when YOU'RE gonna become Cousin Fred.

So, VP @KamalaHarris has posted her official policy agenda on her campaign website. The healthcare section includes, among other solid items, making the enhanced #ACA subsidies of the IRA permanent.

Here's an idea of how important this is for over 21 MILLION Americans: 1/
The enhanced subsidies are currently scheduled to sunset at the end of 2025. If they aren't extended, they'll revert back to the original formula, which was good for those earning < 200% FPL, but mediocre for those earning 200 - 400% & NONEXISTENT for those earning over 400% FPL.
I ran state-by-state case studies to show how letting the upgraded subsidies expire would impact 5 different households at various income levels.

The results range from painful to disastrous depending on the household & where they live.

This is a Big Fucking Deal, brought to you by the Inflation Reduction Act, passed by Democrats exclusively and signed into law by President Biden.

Every Republican in Congress voted against it.
The Inflation Reduction Act is also the reason over 20 million #ACA enrollees are saving an average of $800/yr on health insurance premiums.

Unfortunately that provision is scheduled to sunset at the end of 2025 unless legislation is passed to make the savings permanent.
I’ve written up estimates of how much net premiums would jump for various households in every state starting in January 2016 if the IRA subsidy formula isn’t extended. It’s not pretty. Here’s the first 5 states: acasignups.net/24/07/09/state…

🔥 Guys...donating to #HarrisWalz2024 is fine, but we REALLY need to focus DOWN BALLOT as well! 1/ Image
As my followers know, I've set up a simple website at which contains pages to donate DIRECTLY to *hundreds* of Democrats running for *competitive* seats in everything from State Legislature to U.S. Senate. 2/Blue24.org
So far this cycle I've raised a staggering $5.4 MILLION for #HarrisWalz2024. I'm incredibly proud of this...but I'm STRONGLY urging people to also donate to STATE LEGISLATIVE races, where small donations go a lot farther.

Links to every page are here: Blue24.org/state-leg

This.

My main concern wasn’t about her personally (I actually supported her over Biden back in 2019); it was more about whether they could make the transition without it turning into a mess. So far they’ve pulled it off nearly perfectly.
Biden's timing was perfect:

1. He waited until after the RNC, which meant they wasted 4 days of prime time hours attacking an opponent who wasn't their opponent.

2. This also meant he waited until Trump & Vance were (effectively) locked in as the GOP nominees.

continued...
3. He also waited until immediately *after* all 4,000+ DNC delegates were officially credentialed to avoid any shenanigans there.

4. Finally, as someone else noted, he waited until after the Sunday morning talking heads, which gave VP Harris a solid week to reframe the narrative
