📣⚠️ CRUNCH TIME: Going forward, I'll mostly just promote my two "focused" fundraising pages (links at end of thread), but once a week I'll also tweet out all ~20 pages (~600 state & federal candidates).

If you've been waiting to donate, NOW is the time. 1/
#DemCast
MICHIGAN: In 2018 we flipped 5 House seats and need just 4 more to #FlipMIHouseBlue. Donate to these races today! I strongly recommend Julia Pulver, Kelly Breen, Nicole Breadon, Barb Anness, Jody LaMacchia & Abigail Wheeler: 2/ #DemCast #DemCastMI
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
IOWA: Dems are also just 4 seats away from taking control of the state House! Boosting down-ticket enrollment also helps our federal candidates and #BidenHarris with their races! Help #FlipIABlue by donating to these races today. 3/ #DemCast #DemCastIA
secure.actblue.com/donate/flipiab…
MINNESOTA: Democrats already hold the state House, but if we flip just 2 more seats in the Senate we’ll have a trifecta! Help #FlipMNSenateBlue by donating to these races today! 4/ #DemCast #DemCastMN
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
ARIZONA: Democrats have a good chance of flipping BOTH the state House (2 seats) *and* Senate (3 seats). 5/ Donate to #FlipAZBlue today! #DemCast #DemCastAZ
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
KANSAS: By request, I've added 2 dozen of the most competitive KS state house races! It also helps Barbara Bollier flip the Senate seat. If you want Medicaid expansion, donate to these races today! 6/ #DemCast #DemCastKS
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
FLORIDA: The legislature has been a GOP lock for a long time, but the state Senate is within reach. Plus, boosting turnout for state races helps #BidenHarris win the state as well! Donate to these races today to help #FlipFLBlue: 7/ #DemCast #DemCastFL
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
GEORGIA: The odds are long on the GA legislature, but w/the right candidates & a lot of support we have a shot! Boosting state race turnout also helps #BidenHarris, Jon Ossoff, Rev. Warnock etc. Donate to help #FlipGABlue today! 8/ #DemCast #DemCastGA
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
NORTH CAROLINA: Democrats have a real shot at flipping BOTH the House *and* Senate this year! They need to flip 6 House and 5 Senate seats to #FlipNCBlue and PASS MEDICAID EXPANSION with Roy Cooper! Donate to these races today: 9/ #DemCast #DemCastNC
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
OHIO isn't gonna be easy, but with great candidates, some luck and your support, we can bring it back from the brink. Help #FlipOHBlue by donating to these races today! 10/ #DemCast #DemCastOH
secure.actblue.com/donate/flipohb…
PENNSYLVANIA: Flipping the PA *Senate* will require nabbing 5 seats. The PA *House* is a larger job (9 seats) but both are doable. Donate to these races to help #FlipPABlue today! 11/ #DemCast #DemCastPA
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
SOUTH CAROLINA: The SC state Senate is potentially IN PLAY! Dems need to flip 5 seats to take control...and with Jaime Harrison giving Lindsey Graham a run for his money, we could pull it off! Donate to #FlipSCSenateBlue today! 12/ #DemCast #DemCastSC
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
WEST VIRGINIA: Even more amazing, the WV state Senate could be flipped if everything goes right. Help make that happen and #FlipWVSenateBlue by donating to these races today: 13/ #DemCast #DemCastWV
secure.actblue.com/donate/flipwvb…
TEXAS: THE BIG ONE! Democrats are poised to take control of the state House, which has major implications for redistricting and would get a foot in the door for #ACA Medicaid Expansion. Donate to these races today! 14/ #DemCast #DemCastTX
secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav…
WISCONSIN: Wisconsin's horrific gerrymandering makes it a tough nut to crack, but Dems have a narrow chance at flipping the state Senate and can make gains in the state House. Donate to #FlipWIBlue today! #DemCast #DemCastWI 15/
secure.actblue.com/donate/makewib…
This year has reminded us how vitally important GOVERNORS (#COVID19 response), ATTORNEYS GENERAL (defending the #ACA) and SECRETARIES OF STATE (protecting voting rights & election integrity) are! Donate to elect #MoreDemExecs today! 16/ #DemCast
secure.actblue.com/donate/gov_ag_…
Onto the CONGRESSIONAL races: Democrats flipped the U.S. House in 2018. Now we have to make sure to KEEP control of it! These are the 40 most vulnerable House Dems; donate today to #KeepTheHouseBlue: 17/ #DemCast
secure.actblue.com/donate/keepthe…
We flipped 40 U.S. House seats in 2018, but left *dozens* more on the table, coming up just a few hundred votes short in some cases! Donate to these swing district races to #ExpandTheBlueHouse today! 18/ #DemCast
secure.actblue.com/donate/expandt…
There are *other* House races which are a much tougher grind, but with the right candidates, a lot of luck and your support (financial or otherwise), we could pull off a few surprises! Donate to help Dems #CompeteEverywhere today! 19/ #DemCast
secure.actblue.com/donate/compete…
As long as I'm at it, we should really #LeaveNoDemBehind! These candidates are running in the deepest red districts, but they shouldn't be abandoned. Donate today! 20/ #DemCast
secure.actblue.com/donate/compete…
FINALLY, #FLIPTHESENATE! Some of these candidates are already swimming in money; CONSIDER *OTHER* GREAT CANDIDATES like Jaime Harrison, Al Gross, Barbara Bollier & M.J. Hegar as well...& don't forget incumbents like Doug Jones and Gary Peters! 21/ #DemCast

secure.actblue.com/donate/blueoak…
Speaking of which, if you happen to live in Oakland County and want a high-quality #BidenHarris lawn sign, donate $25 to the OCDP. if you live in my neck of the woods I might even deliver it personally! 23/ #DemCastMI
secure.actblue.com/donate/ocdpbid…
📣 OVERWHELMED by so many candidates? Want to focus your dollars even more effectively? I've pared the ~600 above down to 50 Senate/Congressional & 60 State Legislative races which I think would have the most impact.

That doesn't mean the rest aren't important, of course! 24/
FEDERAL RACES: Donate to these 50 candidates today to #FlipTheSenate, #KeepTheHouseBlue, #ExpandTheBlueHouse *and* protect the POTUS results in case there's an Electoral College failure: 25/
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…
STATE RACES: State legislatures control redistricting, Medicaid expansion, reproductive rights and hundreds of other critical policies. Donate to these races today to help #FlipStateLegBlue in up to 10 states at once! 26/
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_s…
P.S. Aside from normal ActBlue/payment processor fees, 100% of donations go to the campaigns. I receive nothing besides peace of mind. If you'd like to support my work in ACA/healthcare policy data analysis/advocacy, you can do so here. Thank you! /END

🧵 People have asked me why I started an organized project to raise money *directly* for Democratic candidates up & down the ballot when there's already so many other organizations out there doing this. There's a couple of reasons. 1/
The first is that most of the existing organizations/PACs/etc seem to (in my view) *either* focus ONLY on the true swing districts *or* they raise money for races which are clearly unwinnable without being up front about how long the odds in those races are. 2/
I try to walk the line between these--for district-level races I cast my net wider than most "tossup only!" advocates, but not absurdly wide; for statewide races I *do* include deep red states but also make it absolutely clear that those races are *very* long shots. 3/

A little fun Die Hard trivia for those who don’t know:

The first Die Hard was based on a 1979 novel called Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp. In the novel McClain’s character was named Joe Leland. This was a sequel to a 1966 novel by Thorp called The Detective. 1/
The Detective had been made into a film starring Frank Sinatra as Joe Leland in 1968.

This means Bruce Willis plays the same character as Frank Sinatra.

In fact, the studio was contractually required to offer the role to Sinatra if he wanted it. Sinatra was 73 at the time.
As for the novel Nothing Lasts Forever (title since changed to “Die Hard”), it follows most of the same storyline and characters, but with a few VERY important differences…

1. Leland is about 15 years older

2. Holly is his daughter, not his wife

Holy fucking shit.

This may be the first and likely only time that I give @RepStefanik sincere praise.

As she openly states, this was the easiest softball question she possibly could have asked, and all three of them completely flubbed it.
The question she asked: "Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your university's code of conduct regarding bullying & harassment?"

The answer is YES, for fuck's sake.
"Are puppies cute?"
"Yes."

"Do owls exist?"
"Yes."

"Are there hats?"
"Yes."

"Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your code of conduct?"
"Yes."

The only way this could be more disturbing would be if it DOESN'T violate their code of conduct.

“Anonymously signed.”

ANONYMOUSLY. SIGNED.
Image
How does the @nytimes know that these are actual federal officials who actually signed it if they did so “anonymously?”

Does that mean the Times is redacting their names? Or does it just say “signed, 400 officials” at the bottom of the letter?
@nytimes I’m not being snarky here—I can’t read the original NY Times article without a subscription; do they clarify how they verified that these 400 people actually are federal officials and that they did in fact sign off on the letter in it?
