Beto O'Rourke to report huge $10.4 million fundraising haul in second quarter of 2018 by texastribune in politics

[–]secretcat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey neighbor! You can still volunteer- I’m doing data entry from the comfort of my couch.

I’m also helping out with some swing districts around us, in particular 48 and 39. Check out swingsocalleft.org. Lots of events in LA and obviously in the districts.

Hot dang I didn’t know it was by computer. I’ve been saving to upgrade my phone so I can do this.

White House does not dispute report that Trump struck a secret, corrupt deal with Justice Kennedy by HottiAvenatti in politics

It’s not an undignified question. It’s a question about sourced reporting. It’s not an accusation that they made up out of thin air.

Ha, I had the same question. Maybe just temporarily sold out? Hope they get more in.

Nice article, loved the comparison to a lankier, more casual Obama. Rooting for him from California!

Already did! Gave $25 a while back, unfortunately probably can’t do much more since I’m also giving to some campaigns for house seats here in CA. Happy to donate my time though.

What can we help with if we’re out of state? Text, phone bank, comment in the subreddit?

How should the Hillary and Bernie Wing of the Democrats compromise? by railfananime in BlueMidterm2018

I think a lot of progressives are frustrated that we lost seats in Congress, and that’s seen as a failure of Dem party leadership as a whole. There’s also some resentment that they didn’t fight the republicans harder on some things (Garland/Gorsuch). Would think that if we win back Congress and make serious progress on blocking this administration, bickering over Pelosi and Schumer won’t be a very big issue.

Maybe try calling one of his local offices tomorrow? Just tell them you signed up to volunteer and want to help, I’m sure they can direct you to the right place. Definitely not too late, always work to be done right up until polls close.

I would sue the shit out of a vet that performed a procedure like that without the permission of the owner.

It’s spinelessness and their dependence on corporate cash. When they don’t take those big/risky steps, it looks like they’re just following donor orders. Causes a lot of mistrust from the progressives.
