🤔🤔🤔 OVERWHELMED BY SO MANY CANDIDATES? Want to focus your dollars even more effectively? I've pared the ~600 above down to 50 FEDERAL & 60 STATE RACES where I think your donations would have the most impact.

That doesn't mean the rest aren't important, of course! 23/
‼ FEDERAL: Donate to these 50 candidates today to #FlipTheSenate, #ExpandTheBlueHouse *and* #FlipHouseDelegations in case the Presidential race gets thrown to Congress (each state only gets 1 vote in that scenario, so we'd need control of 26 states): 24/
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…
‼️ STATE: State legislatures control redistricting, Medicaid expansion, reproductive rights & much more. Trump is even scheming to get them to appoint their own Electors! Donate to these races to help flip up to 10 state legislative bodies at once! 25/ secure.actblue.com/donate/final_s…
P.S. DON'T FORGET TO HELP FLIP THE MI SUPREME COURT by donating to @BridgetMaryMc & @WelchForJustice!
secure.actblue.com/donate/michiga… 26/
P.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 acasignups.net/donate

For those wondering how the hell Gary Peters can be in such danger from John James, here’s my take as a native Michigander:

1. First, Gary is a great guy, a great Senator and a pretty good candidate. 1/
2. Having said that, he’s also very low-key and a behind-the-scenes work horse type; his name isn’t always in the news, meaning he’s still unknown to a lot of Michiganders despite being in the Senate for six years.
3. In the 2014 red wave, Peters was the only bright for Senate Dems. Again, he was a good candidate but he benefited greatly by his opponent being the worst Senate candidate in the history of ever, Terri Lynn Land.

⚠️ As Senate Republicans continue packing the court, here's your daily reminder of how many Americans would lose healthcare coverage if the #ACA is struck down by the Trump/GOP lawsuit in all 435 Congressional Districts.

In Alabama, 186,000 would likely lose coverage.

Donate to DOUG JONES, Phyllis Harvey-Hall, Adia Winfrey and Rick Neighbors today:

In Alaska, 75,000 would likely lose coverage.

FANTASTIC response. I'm stunned at how many people seem to be under the delusion that a woman will carry a pregnancy for 7 or 8 months and then suddenly, out of the blue, decide that they don't want to have a baby after all on a whim and undergo a medical procedure to stop it.
On top of everything else, how many people say to themselves, "you know what I feel like doing today? Undergoing a medical procedure which involves someone messing with my reproductive organs"?

I'm not a woman, but I'm guessing it isn't a particularly enjoyable experience.
Another way of underscoring Buttigieg's framing:

Imagine the "Married Life" sequence from "Up".

Now imagine that Ellie was *heavily pregnant* in the second shot. ImageImage

Here’s the thing: I’d be busting my ass for not just Biden but Dems up and down the ballot JUST AS HARD even if I was 100% certain that he was going to win both the popular AND Electoral College, for several reasons:
First, because we have to run up the score as much as possible to counter/minimise all of the GOP voter suppression/legal challenge bullshit.
Second, because the more we run up the score for Biden/Harris, the better chance we have of flipping the Senate, expanding the House and flipping state legislatures, which makes actually passing & implementing legislation easier (or even possible in the case of the Senate).
