Only three progressive caucus members returning to the House next session have pledged to decline corporate funds. That number is about to balloon to as many as 40 or more, as a wave of successful progressive insurgents are poised to join the House. https://t.co/4JnfcfJYTh

Between early August and the end of September @FLGovScott put another $18 million of his own money into his run for U.S. Senate. He put in $8m alone in final 2 weeks of that month.

I see this false tweet has still not been deleted, hours after I requested it. This is not what the fact check said. Four Pinocchios to Brat. https://t.co/zZlRG3S4gq

Have noticed at least two considerations driving this. The first is tactical (what’s the point? It doesn’t reach our voters). Second has to do with erosion of trust in media (it’s not on the level; press is in the tank) https://t.co/FfzPC1Bnhr

We must close these loopholes.

Suburban white men are a key voting bloc, too, and they stand with Trump and are backing Republicans in the midterms, @tripgabriel writes https://t.co/AdslgTMi75

Good numbers for Democrats less than four weeks before a national election. But victory only happens if people actually vote. Work like you never have before to help Dem candidates & get people to the polls. https://t.co/T0hENNhQiu

For instance, House battlegrounds are quite a bit *more* suburban than the country overall, while Senate battlegrounds are quite a bit *less* so.
House battlegrounds have high education levels; Senate has low ones. pic.twitter.com/1GZdglLZ9k

Suppression and gerrymandering are real. But they don't have nearly the effect people think they do, and not remotely as much as EIGHTY PERCENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE NOT SHOWING UP.

If you want to know how the GOP has gained power disproportionate to their numbers, this is how: they show up for every and any election. When I was a GOPer, I *counted* on low Dem turnout, and they rarely let me down. https://t.co/bR8v3DFEQr
