Seriously, if you've ever considered running for office, now's the time. Go check out @runforsomething.net. This is looking like a 25+ point swing in TEXAS -- nearly doubling the average +13 swing we've been seeing.
Don't leave any seat unchallenged. Make the GOP spend all their resources.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

despite the Trump admin's "domestic terrorism" rhetoric, nearly 300,000 people either joined live or watched after an online legal training on ICE watch held within 48 hours of Alex Pretti's killing.

Wondering if this happening in a rural town instead of Minneapolis will finally be enough to motivate Senators @schumer.senate.gov or @klobuchar.senate.gov to take seriously the threat of masked, armed federal agents randomly stopping, pulling guns on, and murdering people with impunity
Popping out of the vehicle guns drawn and pointing them at a legal observer exercising her constitutional rights.
Everything about this is reckless, dangerous, the opposite of law & order and keeping anyone safe… how do people see this and not see masked secret police style terror on US streets
