Building Blue

A tale of two Presidents. Someone's jealous...

Republicans hold the Senate 53–47. Democrats need to flip 4. This is the map: seven chances to flip, three seats we have to hold.

To everyone who thinks their vote doesn’t matter: 128 votes. That’s all Democrats won this seat by in 2024. Now Senator Haseeb Fatmi is defending it, and it could be just as close. Early voting ends 10/31! Go vote. Bring a friend. Tell a neighbor. Tell everyone. Every vote matters!

Your inbox can wait. Early voting can’t!

“Starting on Day One.” Remember that? Since then, everything’s gone up. Gas, groceries, rent, your power bill. Your paycheck on the other hand? It actually buys less than it did a year ago. Pretty convenient. Remember all this when you vote.

1,820 votes. That’s how close Evonne came in 2024. This year, she’s finishing the job and flipping the seat! HD-35, early voting ends 10/31. Let’s go!!

Brunch plans are cool. Brunch plans AFTER voting are cooler

One model has Democrats ahead for the House, the Senate, AND governors. Good. Now forget you saw it! Polls don’t vote. Leads vanish when people get comfortable and stay home, and that’s exactly what Republicans are counting on. GO VOTE!!

What beautiful weather to go vote this weekend!

Make a plan! Go vote!

This is corruption. Period. He doesn’t get to pick and choose who wins elections. The PEOPLE do.

Cooper was up 15 last month. Now it’s 10. Republicans are closing the gap. We can’t take back the Senate without NC. Period. Vote early. Bring three friends. We’ve got this, but only if we show up!

This is huge. But ratings don’t win elections. Votes do. Republicans would love nothing more than for us to see this and get comfortable. Don’t. Let’s finish the job! www.vote.org

Our democracy only works if we participate. North Carolina is doing its part! If you haven’t voted yet, early voting runs through Saturday, Oct 31. Let’s keep it going!

The “pro-military” party, everyone. Marines and their families at Camp Lejeune drank poisoned water for 30+ years. People got cancer. People died. Many are still waiting on compensation. Trump’s message to them: “If we don’t win, there’s no money.” Despicable.

When Obama weighs in on a state Supreme Court race, you know it’s a big one. Republicans already control the NC Supreme Court 5-2. If Justice Anita Earls loses, it’s 6-1. That’s the court deciding our maps and our voting rights. Keep Justice Earls on the court. earls4justice.com

12 days. That’s it. Early voting is open across the country right now. Go vote!

NC could decide the Senate. So of course Republicans changed the mail ballot rules the EXACT day ballots went out. Forget to seal one tiny envelope and your vote’s gone. Rejections are double the last midterm. Voted by mail? Check NOW: northcarolina.ballottrax.net

Trump’s new campaign strategy: just offering people money. $5,000 checks for everyone, but ONLY if Republicans win. A $100M plant in Kentucky, but ONLY if Republicans win. That’s not a plan, it’s a bribe. And it’s what you do when you can’t win on your record. Desperate.

Last week the feds raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home, 3 weeks before her election. Now Trump’s border czar is on Fox casually saying they could strip her citizenship and deport her. Hello?? She’s a SITTING MEMBER OF CONGRESS. Imagine what they’d do to a regular person. This is terrifying.

Hmmmm.... totally nothing to see here! Totally normal behavior (said nobody ever)

Proud to endorse Evonne Hopkins for NC House District 35! She came within about 3 points of flipping this seat in 2024. It’s absolutely winnable this year! Mom, small business owner, and a family law attorney who fights for kids. Early voting starts today. Go vote, NC!

Proud to endorse Winn Decker for NC House District 37! Son of two public school teachers, youth basketball coach, and a guy who’s spent his career fighting for stronger schools. Southern Wake deserves someone who listens, and this is a seat we can flip. Early voting starts tomorrow!

A judge ordered the Trump admin to stop running Trump promo ads on taxpayer money. The White House says he’ll pay for future ones himself, but won’t pay back the millions already spent. Imagine getting caught using the company card for personal things and just saying “ok I’ll stop.” Must be nice...

Election Day is Nov 3, but honestly, why wait? Vote early and skip the stress. Look up your state’s dates at vote.org. NC friends: early voting starts THIS Thursday, Oct 15. Missed the registration deadline? You can still register and vote the same day. Grab a friend and go 🗳️

Even Fox can't spin this one: Diesel is over $6 a gallon right now. No, that's not a typo. Republicans control the White House, the House, and the Senate. They have every vote they need to bring prices down. They just won't. And now they want your vote again? Come on.

📢 Friendly reminder: Iran never had a nuclear weapon. The Strait of Hormuz was OPEN before Trump started this war. Now it's closed, gas prices are through the roof, and there's no end in sight. My, my... it's mighty convenient people have stopped talking about the Epstein files though.

Senate Democrats got four Republicans to join them in voting to stop Trump from continuing U.S. military involvement in Iran without congressional authorization. The lone Democrat who voted with Republicans and killed the resolution? John Fetterman. Pennsylvania deserves better..

Yep.. This is perfectly normal for a healthy democracy and definitely not weird at all. Nothing to see here!

We're proud to partner with the Wake County Democratic Party in North Carolina! Strong county parties are the real engine of Democratic power: recruiting volunteers, reaching voters, turning them out on election day. This is the infrastructure that wins elections, and it's how you build blue 🔵

We are proud to endorse Haseeb Fatmi! Born and raised in Wake County and a graduate of Wake County Public Schools and UNC-Chapel Hill, Haseeb is a local attorney, adjunct professor, and former Wake Forest Commissioner who is putting our communities first, from Granville County to Northern Wake.

Turns out we Americans can agree on something after all: nearly 90% of us think government doesn't work for the people anymore. Things only change if we get involved. Our democracy only works if we do.

DeSantis's admin took $10 million meant for sick kids, laundered it through a charity tied to his own wife, and handed it to Republican PACs. MAGA loves calling everyone else criminals. Every accusation is a confession. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/g...

A few resistance-era names just lost their primaries badly. One raised $1.7 million and got 7% of the vote. Another got 6%. Being anti-Trump on a cable news hit isn't a platform. Voters want people who've actually been fighting for them, not just fighting Trump on camera.

Congratulations to @justinjpearson.bsky.social, who just won his primary for TN-09! Republicans redrew this district thinking they'd locked it up. He's heading into November as the underdog anyway. This is exactly the kind of race we don't write off. One step closer to Congress.

It's primary day in Michigan! Polls are open 7am to 8pm. If you're in line by 8, stay in line, you have the right to vote. Democracy isn't a spectator sport. It only works if we show up and use it. Find your polling place at mi.gov/vote.

Arizona Republicans wrote a ballot measure they said was about teachers unions. Turns out it would've banned police and firefighter unions too. A judge just tossed it off the ballot for being too sneaky to survive.

The DNC has less cash than debt. 100 days out. The RNC has $128 million sitting in the bank. This is why we don't wait around for national infrastructure to save us. We build our own.

Republicans are hoarding a giant pile of billionaire donor cash for the fall. Democratic candidates are out here winning on pure grassroots energy instead. Money built their machine. People are building ours.

Trump just froze over $1 billion in Medicaid funding to California and Minnesota. His justification? "Fraud." His evidence? None provided. This is what it looks like when a president uses federal healthcare dollars as a punishment for voting blue.

Trump declared the Iran war over three weeks ago. Two more American soldiers just died in an Iranian strike on a U.S. military base in Jordan. He took the victory lap. Two more families got the knock on the door. This isn't a reality show. These are real lives.

Elon spent $20M trying to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. Handed out $1M checks to voters at a rally. A bipartisan panel just called it election bribery. He lost by 10 points anyway. 💀

Don't tempt us with a good time, Mike!

These are the people making decisions about America’s energy future. And somehow we’re supposed to believe they know what they’re doing...

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP) No vote in Florida (+4 GOP) No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP) No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP) No vote in Texas (+5 GOP) But when VA Dems put fair maps in front of voters and won? The courts stepped in. Funny how the rules change when Democrats fight back!

In case you forgot, here is your daily reminder that SCOTUS is compromised. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
