Day 99.
There are people out there standing up. I want to lend some support.
First, the people of Prestonsburg, Kentucky for standing up against white nationalists. I want to say thank you. It means a lot when good people reject hatred.
Second, Jon Ossoff. He’s a progressive candidate running for former Congressman (current HHS Secretary) Tom Price’s seat. That district only went 1.5% for Trump in 2016, so it’s winnable. But the DCCC isn’t throwing its back into helping progressive candidates there, incorrectly saying the seat’s been Republican for a long time.
If we believe in electing progressive candidates across the country, we have to start here. The DCCC’s literal entire job is electing Democrats to Congress. And they’re not even trying for this winnable seat.
If they won’t do the job, we should back Ossoff ourselves. If they won’t go to bat for progressive interests, we must. I’m going to sign up to help Ossoff’s campaign.
