Good thought, but what's the alternative? Vance? It'll be a long 2 years, but we have to flip the house and senate. All House seats are up for election and 33 Senate seats. We need to go to the mattresses and start now to do whatever we can for the campaigns and registering voters.
Just wrote to (my) Senator Mark Kelly and writing it here as well in case he's watching. He has been a presence on national news stations, so I'm asking him to please use that platform to get the word out about the special elections, to encourage donations and getting involved in the campaigns.
Thanks! Time to start the donations flowing even if we're not in one of those states. I will be encouraging my relatives in both of those states who fortunately are on the correct side of democracy to grab their friends and get involved in the campaigns and vote!
OH! Also, a really really important race in Wisconsin is happening for the Supreme Court. @crawfordforwi.bsky.social is up against a really, really awful candidate being backed by Mu$k. Consider donating there, or phone banking for any of the candidates if you have time!
Also, consider supporting @howardjr4senate.bsky.social! He’s declared to run against Tommy Tuberville in AL for 2026. He’s selling shirts right now to raise funds to be able to file all the paperwork to run as an official candidate
They don’t have the numbers to impeach him or remove him and won’t unless
a) several House Rs side with Dems to impeach & at least 19 Senate Rs also vote to remove, or
b) Dems are overwhelmingly elected in 2026 with a supermajority that can do it without R votes
