As a former Dallasite for over 30 years, the Veasey/Allred/Crockett story is of interest to me. Let's hope this dance after redistricting nets us all three fantastic people positions in Congress. That alone would be a repudiation of the Texas / Supreme Court gluttony tor Trump.

Yes, longtime Allred supporter here - it's great that he's running to re-enter the House. He is definitely needed there. That's excellent news, and clears the field for Senate seat.

I hope you’re correct about the NPA’s in Miami. I worked the election in Sarasota in 2024 and the NPA’s appeared to be MAGA.

Sarasota is not Miami and it’s 2025 not 2024.

I just was getting funding texts and emails from Allred last week. Quite a development. I think he's a good candidate, but maybe someone else should have a shot now.

We need to be talking about Trump aligning with Russia and abandoning Ukraine and undermining Europe. https://www.npr.org/2025/12/05/g-s1-100893/trump-national-security-strategy-foreign-policy

Are we going be able to stop this even if we win the mid-terms???

If you haven’t, read Simon’s post on this on Friday. Dems need to get real loud on this.

I expect if Donald shuffles off this mortal coil, JD will continue these policies and the rest of the party will get very fond of Europe very quickly.

I think Colin Allred is being smart and strategic to get back into Congress in the new district and with Veasey moving over to Jasmine's district. A win-win unless she loses the primary. She has a strong voice since being in Congress.

Just called 4 Dem senators and gave them an earful about selling out to Putin and undermining our national security. Robert Hubbell has an interesting take on the awful NSS (there are so many petitions coming through about this - sign as many as you can). He is always measured and way HOPIUM. I needed something to temper my outrage and anxiety. I am also wondering about whether we can stop this even if we win the mid terms....

Calls are in to Dem and Republican members of Congress regarding our 5 part agenda and NSS. I did remind the Rep members (and stressed to the young person who took my call) to watch The American Revolution documentary. Thanked Dem Senator for her work and stressed the importance of going beyond healthcare and affordability and hit hard the damage being done to our democracy.
