AZ6 abuts NM2 (Gabe Vasquez D) which touches TX 16 in El Paso (Veronica Escobar D). Do you know ways we can help all three at once?

I love the last line in the ad: We need representation for Eloy, not Elon. That's powerful and that's on point.

Another great candidate. Thanks for the interview. I already donated to the four candidates for expanding with a recurring donation.

Looking forward to discussion on Colorado's 8th congressional district. It is a relatively new district won by a democrat in 2022 and then flipped in 2024. It is a true swing district so I think the chances of flipping the seat are excellent! I am ready to oust Gabe Evans who is a Trump suck-up.

Simon, will you please have her (and others in Arizona) back later this winter/early spring? I'm curious how ICE will impact Spring Training. Thanks.

I was fortunate to see Jo speak at the Emily’s List 2025 NYC conference. She’s even more fantastic in person and I have high hopes we will see her sworn in in 2027!

🌟🇺🇸 “The Grandparents Who Lit Up the Feed”

In a cozy small town where the porches all creak,

Where the wise elders gather a few times a week,

A flicker appeared on a Tuesday at eight—

A glow from a screen that would soon grow so great.

It started with Grandma, just sipping her tea,

Who whispered, “The truth needs a boost—maybe me?”

She tapped on her phone with a confident spark,

And posted a link like a flame in the dark.

Then Grandpa joined in with a chuckle and grin,

“It’s time independent truth-tellers win!”

He reshared a video, commented twice,

And suddenly justice felt warm, bold, and nice.

Their friends jumped aboard with a jubilant cheer,

“We’ll shine up the truth till the whole town can hear!”

They hearted, they typed, they boosted each thread—

A brigade full of light in a world full of dread.

They lifted up Meidas and Bulwark with pride,

Democracy fighters they marched right beside.

They reshared the watchdogs who challenged the lies,

Who pointed out danger with wide-open eyes.

They battled the fog of confusion and spin,

With comments like “Watch this!” and “Please share again!”

Each grandma’s phone glowed like a lantern of hope,

Each grandpa’s repost helped the nation to cope.

And soon came a brightness that spread far and wide,

Through kitchens and cities on digital tides.

A chorus of elders with wisdom to spare

Turned whispers of truth to a thunderous flare.

They fought with their thumbs and they fought with their voice,

Declaring, “Transparency isn’t a choice—

It’s the heart of a country, the root of the free!”

And their sharing lit paths for the whole world to see.

So honor these elders who rise every day,

Who comment and click in a powerful way.

For democracy grows where their truth becomes seed—

Bless the grandparents

who lit up the feed.

Simon, I love how you always play offense, guiding the Hopium Community to well-considered and well-directed action!

Let’s retake the House with a solid margin. Let us build Democratic victories up and down the ballot in district after district, in state after state. Let’s build a Blue Tsunami and flip the Senate!

I am posting this link of an interview with Kamala Harris by Tim Miller in Nashville as part of her book tour. I offer this not to make you sad but to make you mad - mad that this woman is not the president of the US, that there was a single person in this country when faced with this choice could have cast a vote for Ballroom Piggy, who was never qualified for the office because he is a lifelong conman, crook, liar and degenerate, a person so arrogant that he is incapable of even learning on the job an appropriate skill (bribery and extortion not being appropriate skills for a POTUS).

It is bizarre in the extreme that Kamala Harris was viewed as anything other than a conscientious, practical, caring lifelong public servant - who held offices of great responsibility - elected offices, for decades prior to her service as VP: district attorney, attorney general of our largest state, US Senator yet fuckers were allowed to claim, without being bludgeoned as they so well deserved that she made her way by giving blowjobs. I feel murderous. This is a fantastic conversation. Enjoy

Well my thoughts on this is the rot that got us here has been there for a long time. I look forward to Kamala being part of the rebuilding. I try not to let anyone steal my joy in our stellar candidate and very much want her to be part of our future.

I had a dream last night that I sent Trump a bone saw and a bottle of the 9/11 NYC air we endured for months-up and down the Hudson - lest he forget the stench that surrounds his buddy, Mohammed bin Salman.

Great interview! Thank you for having JoAnna. Good job, Lincoln, in setting it up for us. JoAnna spoke well about our issues in CD6. If anyone is interested I understand Pima County Dems have a JoAnna Mendoza tee available which can be purchased for a $45 donation. https://www.pimadems.org

Thanks to the community for helping us flip CD6 back to sanity and in the good hands of Democrats.

Jo is a great candidate. Imp to note that donating EARLY to these candidates really matters. This podcast explains: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/the-democratic-party-spam-machine
