🚨 Whoa.

Michigan's 2 state Supreme Court races just became even more important. Donate to @TheBlindJustice & @KHBforJustice TODAY:

The full story is behind a paywall, but it says she's leaving "before the end of the year."

@GovWhitmer would appoint her replacement, but that would then put her seat up for re-election in 2024 instead of in 2028.
It also just became even more vitally important to make sure that we re-elect @GretchenWhitmer, @JocelynBenson & @DanaNessel: secure.actblue.com/donate/miblue2…
...and of course it's vitally important to help FLIP #MIBlueIn22...both the House and Senate are in play: secure.actblue.com/donate/bluemi2…

📣📣 SEPTEMBER (& FINAL) UPDATE:
County-level #COVID19 vaccination rates by partisan lean:
acasignups.net/22/09/11/septe…
For over a year, I posted *weekly* updates to my now-famous (infamous?) red/blue scatter-plot graph. I switched to monthly updates earlier this year, and my last update was back in July. 2/
The September update will be my final one, for four reasons:

1. I've more than made my point: There's very little to add to the discussion of the insane partisanship of COVID-19 vaccination rates; it's been proven 8 ways from Sunday and discussed ad nauseum.

Just had an amusing conversation with a very confused treasurer for an Alaska state House candidate who couldn't figure out why their candidate received donations of $1.79, $1.79 and $3.58 from people living in California, Washington and Connecticut.

I think candidates for local races (state House, County Commissioner, etc) set up ActBlue accounts for their campaign websites without understanding that ActBlue allows ANY U.S. citizen living ANYWHERE to donate to them...or to create a slate page including their campaign.
There's a few exceptions--recently I discovered that Illinois passed a law just this year which prohibits out-of-state donations to state judicial candidates. As a result I had to remove 2 Illinois state supreme court candidates from this page:

Dear Bloomfield Hills Schools residents:

See that "Moms for Liberty" shirt? Yeah, those are the Christofascists who've been screaming at school board meetings w/hateful bullshit about masks, vaccines, transgender kids & CRT.

Find out who they're supporting & vote accordingly.
To clarify: "Parental Rights" as used by "Moms for Liberty" is code for an far-right agenda...attacking "CRT" (which of course isn't taught in K-12 anyway) and "wokeness," attacking teaching sex education, and of course attacking COVID-19 mask mandates.

CALIFORNIA: Final unsubsidized avg. 2023 #ACA rate changes: +5.6% (0.4 pts lower thanks to #InflationReductionAct):
acasignups.net/22/09/08/calif…
Ironically, the #IRA extending the #AmRescuePlan's enhanced #ACA subsidies will actually SAVE the federal government a bit of money in *reduced* ACA subsidies...because it's leading to slightly lower unsubsidized 2023 premiums.

AFAICT, it should save ~$61 million in CA alone.
Yesterday Connecticut also issued their final 2023 rates, specifically stating an avg. 0.7 pt reduction from the initial request specifically thanks to the #IRA passing. That's another ~$7M saved.

📣📣📣 🧵CRUNCH TIME. It'll still be tough, but the tide has started to turn in Dems favor!

In 2020 we saved democracy. In 2022 we need to save it again. Money isn't everything, but it's still an important tool.

Here's ~900 ways to help: 1/

1 - 44: We desperately need to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! If the GOP takes control you’ll have racist, anti-science lunatics like MTG, Matt Gaetz & Lauren Boebert in charge. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

45 - 84: This page includes federal House races in the other half of the states; donate today to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…

That's right: I just had my first radio interview for a NON-healthcare related subject.

Thanks for having me on the show; it was fun!

(and make sure to donate *directly* to some downballot Dems via AmericaBlueIn22.com!)
As I noted on the show, the whole reason I started this "slate donation page" project is because some people just prefer donating directly to specific candidates as opposed to donating to the DCCC, DSCC, DLCC etc.
It doesn't mean those orgs are doing a bad job; it's just that people like knowing that their particular donation went to help these particular candidates. ActBlue makes it absurdly easy to throw together a bunch of them onto one page so back in 2020 I figured what the hell.
