👏“If you want to do something to affect the election, donate money or time in a swing state — ideally to a state party or down-ballot race, where your efforts will go further.” — @ezraklein (NYT 10/13/24)

Via data from @davesredist & @BlueRipplePol, I've created donation pages for competitive legislative races in 43 states for 2024!

Each lets you donate DIRECTLY to Dems running in multiple COMPETITIVE state House & Senate seats at once! 2/

@davesredist @BlueRipplePol Let me repeat that: Unlike some PACs where as little as *30% or less* of what's raised goes to the actual candidates, I'm not a PAC & don't take one dime.

At https://t.co/zUBzgBu1RE, EVERYTHING goes to the candidates (minus ActBlue's standard 4% cc processing fee). 6/

@davesredist @BlueRipplePol Nationally, there's ~1,100 competitive districts, but only ~700 or so are up this year & have Dems w/ActBlue accounts running.

IMPORTANT: https://t.co/zUBzgBuzHc IS NOT A PAC. It's simply a collection of links to my slate ActBlue pages.

ALL DONATIONS GO TO THE CANDIDATES. 5/

📣 Everyone says how VITAL it is to donate to Democrats in STATE LEGISLATIVE races; they control legislation on abortion, redistricting & so much more! But...

a) There's over 7,000 state districts; and
b) Which seats are competitive?

With news that John Eastman will likely join Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro in demanding a speedy trial in Fulton County, it finally occurred to me *why*: They know Trump is going to invoke an advice of counsel defense. 1/

What Chris Christie has done is kind of amazing for a partisan figure: every single demographic has an equally poor view of him.

Dems: 22/60
GOP: 24/57
Ind: 17/46

Urban: 21/55
Suburban: 22/60
Rural: 22/54

White: 24/57
Black: 19/48
Hispanic: 16/55
