Everyday Election Activism An Insider's Guide (#20) - July 13 2025

When do we turn our energy towards uniting the resistance to vote out MAGA? IMHO, the time is NOW. Here are some thoughts about the 'why' and 'how to.'

TRUMP'S BIG UGLY BILL: • Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR • Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world • Eliminates funding for green energy • Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans • Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits • Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

Help raise awareness about the specifics of Trump’s Tax Scam by using our social toolkit. When people know what’s in the GOP’s dangerous reconciliation bill, they overwhelmingly oppose it — but a lot of people still aren’t aware of the details. We need to change that: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/trum...

Just ordered my copy today, from my local independent bookstore!

The budget & detention camps are top of mind today. So sickening that MAGA government has come to this.

Between the courts and growing public outrage - let's make it loud! - we WILL stop this horror show! Let's direct blasts of calls and hold town halls for every Congress member voting 'yes.'

Impeachable offenses are mounting up. Isn’t threatening a candidate illegal?

A Path to Pushing MAGA out of Power We have a treacherous road to travel before we can push MAGA out of political power. But even as we prioritize resistance to the administration’s daily barrage we need an eyes-on-the-prize vision of a...

A wise look on how we can win over MAGA, with reflections on why the Biden administration did not keep the MAGA threat from growing. Hope and a strategy that seems doable!

The $64 million question: How to engage voters who sat out in 2024? What about Republicans who sour on Trump? We need new approaches to conversation. We need to be creative. We need to experiment. I consider a few ideas today on Substack.

Ethel & Julius were executed during the anti-communist hysteria of the Cold War era. The government knew she was not a spy and went ahead with the execution anyway.

LFG!!!!

Question: Congress needs to address the debt ceiling. What should House Dems do? (1) vote against eliminating the ceiling? (2) abstain & see if the Rs can reach consensus (to keep focus/blame on them)? (3) vote to eliminate the ceiling (maybe not the best way to control government spending anyway)?

I thought the federal court said the election had to be certified with Riggs as winner. ???

I’ve heard the state Dem Party should have this info on their website (NCdoes not) or you can reach out to ask (I did that yesterday. We shall see. I’ll report back if I hear back.) but that leaves many members selected by the DNC Chair. Would be great to know who they are.

How can we find out the names of the members of the DNC who vote on Chair?
