In October, Steve Pajcic, an old lawyer who never before donated millions, spent $7M on Senate Dems in KS, MS, SC, and FL cuz he wanted to see 56 Dem senators usher in another New Deal.
“There’s a real chance for something big, and I’m kind of old. So why not see if there’s anything you can do to help?”
Mr. Pajcic, I hope you’re happy about your investment.
NEWS: A surprise new Democratic donor has emerged to fund his own super PAC and is spending $7 million in final weeks to blitz four red-state Senate races: FL, SC, MS and KS.

Split screen at Capitol Hill today:
Hakeem Jeffries is arguing that he should be the leader of the Democrats — and then, as the current leader, he couldn’t get enough Democrats to show up to impeach Pete Hegseth

the geriatric corrupt democratic leadership is not prepared for the dozens of glup shittos elected this cycle who do not give a single fuck about dc political decorum
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Here’s how much of the Republican vote Angie Nixon and Turek got (from NBC Exit poll):
Nixon (FL) - 7%
Turek (IA) - 7%
Think its time to stop assuming moderation automatically wins over more Republican voters. Vibes and candidate quality matter more as well

The DSA member Angie Nixon won this heavily Cuban district containing Hialeah by more than Jolly or Díaz-Balart

No more excuses. Democrats must deliver.

Trump’s 1.5% victory in 2024 was a mandate. Democrats’ 13.5% victory in 2026 is not.

A year ago, I said Mississippi and Louisiana could be competitive with real investment. Turns out, I was right.
Now the country is talking about @scott_colom in Mississippi, while @jamieforlouisiana came within 25,000 votes in Louisiana.
I made the case directly to DNC Chair Ken Martin in April, after raising the same concerns on @joyannreid.
The Deep South doesn’t lack voters. It lacks investment.
Maybe it’s time national leadership started listening to Black folks on the ground who know what they’re talking about.
Support Civics for the People through the link in my bio. We’re building political power with or without them.
Share if you care. 🦾

interesting how much focus there was on winning young men in 2024, but when abdul el-sayed is the senate candidate who performed best with men aged 18-29 of all races, suddenly crickets
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Exit polls show James Talarico received about 70% support from men 18-29 in Texas, Roy Cooper about 65% in North Carolina, versus Abdul El-Sayed's 66% in Michigan per NBC News.
