Hey now don't tell me your suggesting the heritage foundation, who published a 900 page document of everything the Trump should do, could be trying to pull strings? I'm sure they're also just keeping lists of people trump should remove for fun, you know, and that their not publicly released part of Project 2025 with fleshed out executive orders was for the bit

Her campaign has been harping on it before, so they'll probably ramp that up. For instance, they just posted this with the caption "is he ok"

There are countless lawsuits lied to try to block their voter suppression in Texas. They often do block some of it. Without control of the Texas state legislature, it's difficult to do more than action in the judicial system

The DNC is investing more heavily this cycle in Texas

The senate map is tougher for dems this cycle (more seats to defend then Republicans) so any gettable flip matters a lot

Leaked republican internal polling has the race only a point apart. Internals are usually more favorable for your own party too.

Texas has gotten more blue over the years and he only won by 2ish points against Beto. Cruz could certainly lose this time around and that is not something we can afford to ignore

There's good odds of flipping the house back, and we've got a decent chance of keeping the senate or getting a 49-50-1 senate with a union leader Indepdent from Nebraska

The campaigns themselves do also focus on those down ballot races. We can help with those!

Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online

Write letters to voters in competitive downballot races (or swing states too)

Donate or volunteer for the Nebraska Indepdent Dan Osborn for senate (no dem running by intention)

Not all Fox news viewers are the regular fox news watchers that are deep into their spin. It's often turned on in random buildings and such

It doesn't have to even change someone's mind all that much to be helpful for a campaign. If it even convinces some that Harris is not quite as [insert scary term] as they previously thought, they might not feel as much need to turn up to vote against her. Tiny percentage changes in turnout matter here

People forget that under Trump, he sent in unmarked federal officers who took protesters from the street without any named justification against state and local officals wishes

Last week [July, 2020], federal officers started cracking down on crowds gathering in the city against the wishes of state and local officials, drawing widespread criticism and legal challenges.

Federal officers in unmarked vehicles appeared to forcefully seize protesters from the streets and detain them without justification. They have also fired tear gas and less-lethal munitions into crowds of demonstrators.

[...]

The role of federal troops sent to Portland is the subject of intense speculation at the moment. Numerous widely-shared videos show troops in camouflaged combat-style uniform arresting protesters, transporting them away in apparently unmarked vehicles.

[...]

They belong to a new federal force created last month in an executive order signed by President Trump which tasks them to protect historic monuments, memorials, statues, and federal facilities.

Keep in mind that they're compared to 2020, when voting patterns changed dramatically quite partisanly due to covid

Further they are just looking at county levels of voting, not individuals. Virginia does not have party of voters released. Dems have increased their rural voter outreach dramatically this year. For all we know this could mean higher dem turnout in rural areas. Republicans tend to strongly prefer voting on election day in most polling

Still good to encourage people to turnout early though!

Overseas voters abroad generally lean heavily democratic by around a D+60 margin

 

Sounds like he wants more child labor and thinks little of workers in general

“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in a press release. “When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean.”
