Lot of talk about faith in these Shapiro articles. My take on it is that if he runs for president we might as well just douse our synagogues in lighter fluid ourselves because I have zero faith in Americans tolerating it at this juncture in history.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is opening up about his Jewish faith at a pivotal moment in his political rise. The Democratic governor is eyeing a reelection this fall in one of the nation’s most important swing states. If he wins, it could propel him into the very top of his party’s presidential nomination fight. But he’s also navigating physical and political risks that have threatened his family’s life and his standing in a party that’s deeply divided by Israel's war in Gaza. Shapiro spoke about these challenges in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

@dustcircle Question: What happens if Trump & Co. decide to cancel the midterm elections or ignore the results? I'm well aware that US elections are a matter of the states. But I wonder what it would mean in general if some red states canceled #elections in fear of losing the House and / or Senate majority.
Germany is a federal republic as well, but at least our election law is a national law...

Excellent and rare study from NYT about relocation patterns with political affiliation. Now out of the paywall.
Too many #Democrats are #moving to heavily #MAGA areas.
This is our problem.
We must move to #SwingStates

The battle for democracy is NOT in DC.
It's in the Five #SwingStates that determine the results of the Electoral College in 2028.
Michigan and Georgia have extremely vulnerable Senate races as well in 2026. North Carolina a possible flip.
March to one, take up residency and prepare to vote.
Other possible Senate flips:
Maine
Ohio
Other Senate vulnerabilities:
Minnesota
New Hampshire
We must vote our way out of this!
