🚨 Lana Theis, the horrible person who made the false accusations against @MalloryMcMorrow, is running in a deep red district; she's almost certain to win reelection. HOWEVER, we CAN make sure she's in the Senate MINORITY by flipping the #MISenateBlueIn22. secure.actblue.com/donate/misenat…
(The reason I don't have McMorrow herself included on this page is because she's running for re-election in a fairly safe blue district...but there's a bunch of *other* Dems running in swing districts. Michigan Dems have a real shot at flipping the state Senate this year.)
Update: This is the other reason: I knew she’d raise a ton of cash anyway: Image
For reference: Mallory’s campaign has raised 25% more in the past 24 hours for her state Senate race than I raised for Gary Peters over the last full 2 year cycle for his high-profile U.S. Senate race.

This thread is getting some buzz, so I want to clarify:

I'm not saying SCOTUS *would* uphold such a law. I'm saying that there's a more-than-negligible POSSIBILITY of them doing so, which should be PLENTY to scare the living shit out of everyone.
Saying "That's Unconstitutional!" isn't a magic spell.

A thing is Unconstitutional right up until the moment that the Supreme Court of the United States says otherwise.
In 2005, a (since debunked) story was widely circulated in which then-President George W. Bush, confronted by one of his aides that something was "unconstitutional," supposedly replied that "The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper."

Lots of responses insisting that since “this is unconstitutional” there’s “no way it would ever stand or be enforced” and I’m amazed that so many people STILL don’t understand what’s happening.
If Dems suffer major losses this November democracy is FUCKED. Women, LGBTQ+, Blacks, PoC, Jews…we’re all royally screwed. I don’t care how “disappointed” you may be in Dems failing to get a lot of stuff done. Fucking VOTE dammit.
This seems to be getting some buzz so here, once again, are some links for folks to donate to help hold the House & Senate: secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…

📣 For several days, MI Dem State Senator Mallory McMorrow has rightly received a TON of praise locally & nationally for standing up to the bigoted GOP State Senator Lana Theis' disgusting false attacks.

For those wondering about *Theis'* campaign, here's what I know:
--Theis won her 2018 race by 14 points.
--She's running for reelection in a (new) heavily GOP district (SD-22).
--She raised ~$180K & spent ~$150K in her 2018 race
--She's raised over ~$267K & spent over ~$168K so far this cycle.
Interestingly, Theis actually has a GOP primary opponent this year named Mike Detmer.

Unfortunately, he's apparently been endorsed by Trump, so forget about any hope of her losing to a "decent" Republican.

OK, that brings me to the big question folks have asked:

👏👏👏 BRAVO @MalloryMcMorrow! She just sent out a fundraising appeal, but NOT for her own campaign—every dollar goes to the @DLCC & @MISenDems!

THIS is how to help flip *entire* legislatures blue! Image

🚨 STATE BY STATE: How much MORE will YOU pay if #AmRescuePlan subsidies AREN'T extended??
acasignups.net/22/04/21/new-s…
ALABAMA: Tell @SenShelby & @SenTuberville that their refusal to extend #AmRescuePlan subsidies will cause up to ~200K Alabamans to see premium hikes as high as $23,000/year.

ALASKA: Tell @lisamurkowski & @SenDanSullivan that their refusal to extend #AmRescuePlan subsidies will cause up to ~20K Alaskans to see premium hikes as high as $30,000/year. That's not a typo.

THREAD: I'm torn when it comes to the debate over only raising money for swing district/state candidates vs. raising money for long shot Democrats as well. This is especially the case with U.S. Senate races. 1/
Last cycle, I raised over $4.5M for ~2 dozen Dem Senate candidates. This included marquee races we won (Hickenlooper, Kelley, Ossoff, Warnock); high-profile disappointments (Gideon, Cunningham); high-profile long shots (McGrath, Greenfield) *and* the "no chance in hell" races. 2/
I raised $136K for Gross in AK; $228K for McGrath in KY; $372K for Harrison in SC; $145K for Hegar in TX.

I also raised $50K+ *apiece* for Senate candidates in deep red states like Oklahoma, Idaho, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Were these wastes of money? Depends on your POV. 3/
