@kausmickey @MarktheRed21 You’re forgetting the first rule of voting, which is, first do no harm. As bad as things may be, they can always get worse when populist leaders take power and don’t know how to govern.

Lots of “questions” about @ClintonFdn and @ClintonGlobal Initiative lately.

@DavidCallahanIP asks and answers the most important one: how @BillClinton has helped millions of people and changed the expectations of how former presidents can serve people.

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

@davidsirota I know of which you speak. Part of the problem in our business, maybe, is that we become more realistic/less idealistic about the impact that we're likely to have, no matter how hard or smart we work, which undermines motivation to go that extra mile.

@LtlFreeLibrary - Thought you would want to see this photo I took at a burned down home in Pacific Palisades.

As a who's who of billionaires jockey for a place in the Trump oligarchy, with little public concern, I speculate about how attitudes toward the ultra-wealthy might evolve in the next few years and what that may mean for philanthropy. https://t.co/ysDpdwaWa7

@OnePennsylvania is working to persuade and turn out Black voters in a must-win state. Here's a closer look at its work—and why donors should support this grassroots group with last-minute donations. https://t.co/1GjTodjiX7

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

For anyone still not tapped out: some last-minute donation options, with a focus on bolstering Harris with key constituencies. https://t.co/tx5azEqUn0

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

If Harris doesn't improve her standing among working-class voters, she's likely to lose the election. I spotlight an organizing group working on this challenge that donors can still support with last-minute funding. @WorkingAmerica https://t.co/6bGVH0Y9Ze

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

No Democratic presidential candidate has won white women since 1964. But Biden came close in 2020, and if Harris improves on that performance, she'll win the election. Galvanize Action is working to make that happen. https://t.co/CtNDi1VT5q

Small donors have more power in politics than ever before. The reasons include very close elections, where money can make a bigger difference, and better options for donors to have an impact.

Polls show that Harris is still lagging with 18-29-year-olds, who Biden won by 25 points in 2020. Donors can help here by supporting a key hub for youth organizing, @alliance4youth

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

Polls show that Harris is struggling to match Biden's 2020 margins in rural and working-class areas and also lock down key Democratic constituencies, including Blacks and Latinos. I look at voting groups focusing on these challenges. https://t.co/zaY9PLtiaQ

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

I share my thoughts on where things are at with the Democratic ground game in this interview. Bottom line: while lots of money is flowing for the Harris campaign, grassroots GOTV groups are still dangerously underfunded.

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

Democrats urgently need to flip the House and have a good chance to do so. But it's not a given, which is why donors should support GOTV work in key districts. Here's how to do that.

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

Young voters helped Biden win Georgia in 2020. To make that happen again, Blue Tent recommends donating to the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, the top youth electoral group in the state.

[David Callahan @DavidCallahanIP]

Even as the Harris-Walz Campaign raises record sums of money, critical pieces of the Democratic ground game remain dangerously underfunded, according to a Blue Tent analysis. https://t.co/9iYvEfqjmC
