A reminder of what the stakes are here: acasignups.net/22/10/10/updat…
Here's a PARTIAL list of medical services which currently have to be provided at NO CHARGE to those enrolled in ACA-compliant healthcare policies by in-network providers. All of these are at risk if the latest GOP-backed lawsuit is successful: Image
Here's a list of medical services for women which currently have to be provided at no charge to those enrolled in ACA-compliant policies by in-network providers. All are at risk if the GOP-backed lawsuit is successful: ImageImage
Here's a list of medical services for children which currently have to be provided at no charge to those enrolled in ACA-compliant policies by in-network providers. All are at risk if the GOP-backed lawsuit is successful: ImageImage
Anyway, I'd strongly recommend donating to some of these Democratic candidates running in competitive races, voting straight Dem up & down the ticket early, and encouraging others to do the same: AmericaBlueIn22.com

🧵 THREAD: Earlier this evening, @DrOz said that abortion should be between "A woman, her doctor, and local political leaders."

Let's take a look at some examples of the "local political leaders" @DrOz wants doing pelvic exams of pregnant women, shall we?
1988: GOP Pennsylvania state representative Stephen Freind falsely claimed that women "secrete a certain secretion that tends to kill sperm" when they're raped. Image
1995: GOP North Carolina state representative Henry Aldridge claimed that when women are raped, their "juices" don't "flow" and their "body functions" don't "work" thus making it nearly impossible for them to become pregnant. Image

Didn't watch any of the debates tonight as my kid had a concert, but it sounds like the takeaway from the PA Sen debate will be:

--Oz wants state legislators doing pelvic exams of pregnant women

--Fetterman stumbled on fracking

Anything else?
The best political debate *format* I've ever seen (and I've only seen once) was the 1st 2006 MI Gov debate between Jennifer Granholm and Dick DeVos.

There were *no time limits* on any individual answer--but each candidate was only given 30 minutes of *total* speaking time. 1/
This meant each had to judge whether to give a simple "yes/no" or a lengthy in-the-weeds diatribe, since once the 30 min was up they couldn't say anything.

I *loved* this, since some Q's only require a simple answer while other positions can't be boiled down to a sound bite. 2/2

White Women: A Play in 4 Acts:
I should also note that even if you do think “the economy” is more important than democracy or owning your own body, there’s zero evidence that Republicans handle “the economy” better anyway.

"covered up fraud by claiming she was in TWO prolonged comas"
I mean faking ONE coma, sure; who among us hasn’t?

But TWO?
Good grief. She also faked a double lung transplant??

This is shaping up to be sort of a cross between Fargo and The Thomas Crown Affair.

With today's news that Michael Franken has a real shot at flipping Iowa's Senate seat, here's where my fundraising for Democratic Senate nominees stands as of this evening ($300,000 total to date): Image
Notice how I've been able to thread the needle between "Compete Everywhere!" and "Focus on the Swing States!"

I'm raising money for Dems running in *every* GOP-held Senate seat, but I *emphasize* the higher-profile races. The results seem to be about where they should be IMHO.
The top 11 races average around $21,500 apiece, around 5.6x as much as each of the other 14* races (~$3,800 each on average).

*(It's actually 15 other races; Oklahoma includes *both* Kendra & Madison Horn).

⚠️⚠️⚠️ PROBLEM: Election experts keep lecturing you about how vitally important it is for Dems to flip STATE LEGISLATIVE seats blue...but there's THOUSANDS of them, and who the hell knows which seats are even competitive at that level? 1/ americabluein22.com/final-500/
🎉🎉🎉SOLUTION: I've compiled links where you can donate DIRECTLY to Dem nominees in up to 400 *COMPETITIVE* districts across 43 states in one sitting!

ALL state legislative districts listed here are rated between R+7 to D+7 or closer by @davesredist: 2/ americabluein22.com/final-500/
There's ~7,400 state legislative districts, but LA, MS, NJ & VA don't have legislative races this year, CT candidates use public finance, & some states only have half or no state Senate races this year.

That leaves ~6,400 legislative seats up in 2022. 3/ americabluein22.com/final-500/
