We don't have to wait until 2028. 25 Problem Solvers Caucus Democrats, the House side of this same infrastructure, are on the ballot in 2026. Start building primary challenges now while documenting Senate targets.
Two-front strategy: House in '26, Senate in '28.

Appreciate you amplifying this. The more people understand how this infrastructure works, the harder it becomes for corporate Democrats to hide behind "bipartisan" branding.
Primary season 2026 starts now. Here's some house members we should primary.

Exactly right on long-term strategy. However, House Democrats from the Problem Solvers Caucus ARE up for re-election next year. We need both chambers to overturn Citizens United, we can primary these House members in 2026, then go after corporate senators in 2028. Build momentum bottom-up.

Thanks, those are senators.
Here's the House side: Problem Solvers Caucus, created by No Labels as their House operation.
Same donors, same "bipartisan" cover for corporate priorities. Coordinated dark money infrastructure, not just PAC donations.
25 House Members up for re-election in 2026.

🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something.
I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable.
Let me show you why:

The astronauts have it right - most punditry IS out of touch.
Here's what's in touch: Working people need healthcare, housing,
& wages that work. Period.
I don't care if that's "left" or "center" - I care if it's real.
Whoever fights for working class dignity has my support.
Let's go. 💪

San Francisco's automated speed cameras after 6 months:

Study shows majority of US kids need Medicaid/CHIP by age 18, while Congress debates $1T in cuts. Reminder: 'we can't afford healthcare for kids' always means 'we can afford tax cuts for billionaires instead.' It's a choice about priorities. #HealthcareForAll #MedicaidCuts #Priorities #ChildHealth

42% of children lose health coverage at some point by age 18. This isn't a 'market failure', it's the system working exactly as designed to create medical debt and force families into expensive private insurance. Healthcare instability = healthcare industry profits. #HealthcareJustice #MedicalDebt

Or a golden goat covered in money at Mar-a-Lago?
The symbolism writes itself:
- Baal's sacred animal (associated with child sacrifice for wealth)
- Literally worshipping the golden calf
- Mammon (money as god) made manifest
- The 'prosperity gospel' heresy in statue form

The Seattle Times wants you to focus on decibel levels, but this is really about corporate control of public space.
Street preachers may be annoying, but they represent unfiltered public discourse where working people gather. The Mariners want to silence any voice they haven't approved.
