RT @MorePerfectUS: NEW: Economic populism helped deliver impressive victories for Democrats across the nation. But those gains could be fickle and short-lived or long-lasting and durable. To keep and maintain working class majorities, here’s 5 specific ideas for what they need to do next.

Victory has a thousand fathers and defeat one... But to extent money matters, Dems hard-money dominance w/ LUR helped blunt super PAC attacks. Gonna be tough in 2028. Nuke Dem Scam PACs that raise/spend inefficiently; make it easier for all Dem candidates to raise hard money.

This includes Dem leadership PACs that send a billion emails, raising inefficiently just to toss out $5k checks. It's net loser. And it's bad for consituents. Stop. Nuke 'em. Good policy. Good politics.

1. Tackle affordability 2. End the war in Iran 3. Use the leftover ordnance on Scam PACs like this nonsense that just came in today of all days.

Scott Colom - Recount Fund Is now available in ActBlue.

Boebert in trouble...

Congrats to all my fellow Democratic campaign workers, staff, consultants, strategists ... looks like we are all geniuses who are exceptionally good at our jobs tonight.

Tyson Brody appreciation thread.

A good bit ahead of where I'd hoped to be at this point in the night when it comes to stress eating.

There should be a few elections on Sunday and Monday ... like little apps before the Tuesday main course. Just a handful of House races and maybe one Senate race.

Rebellion PAC has just a bit more cash on hand than the guy raised on GoFund me to get Kenny Loggins to play in his living room. Truly baffled at why anything the PAC or Cenk does gets any amount of mainstream attention. Let alone ~ this ~ much.

I tweet about ScamPACs and disreputable tactics by Dem electeds and their PACs bc they threaten a huge advantage Dems have: small-dollar donors. Jessica Piper (@jsscppr) has a Politico piece about GOP small-dollar money plummeting. Predatory practices are part of the problem.

Year after year, the Dem small-dollar donor base gets older and older. Younger people are making donations, getting absolutely flooded with bullshit and not giving again. It is a great risk ahead unless we right the ship. Dems can preserve this advantage ... or lose it.

Here's Jessica's article:

Abdul El-Sayed is the number 6 recipient of donations from Cheesecake Factory employees this cycle. Source: Claude analysis of 2025-2026 FEC filings. This is so dumb.

Rep. Steny Hoyer. Amazing career. Legend. Retiring... He has a PAC with $3m CoH. Again, RETIRING. Why send 10 emails a day? Ran numbers: 55.1% of his PAC's donors have given to top Senate campaigns. Wouldn't it be better if they didn't have to compete with this nonsense?

Want to know something that may shock you? A lot of the highest volume, inbox and cell phone polluting PACs -- the ones with the craziest messages that grift off other races -- were started by members of Congress. They should voluntarily shut down for the good of the party.

Imagine a world without a gazillion Scam PAC emails and texts. Imagine that inbox pollution GONE. In that same world, must-win races have millions more in hard-money ... and at a time HMP says $17m more would help win unthinkable races. Nuke 'em. Good politics. Good policy.

Can we talk about Steny Hoyer's PAC? 170+ emails since 10/1. A lot of nonsense to raise small-dollars at bad margins to give away $5k checks for races that cost 10s of millions. The $5k checks once bought influence. Today they are net-negative to Dem candidates getting them.

Thank you, Former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, for reaching out to ask whether or not I have a Costco membership. I regret to inform you I do not.
