The media keeps focusing on spreadsheets. Consultants keep focusing on spending that used to make them rich. I’m focused on wins. 💪 90% Democratic overperformance in elections 🧹 30-0 in statehouse flips 💵 ~50% more cash on hand than 2018 Read my op-ed in @thehill.com: thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Monthly checks to every state party, starting early, red states too. A Southern States Resource Hub. The Democratic Party historically wrote off the South, but that's what @kenmartin.bsky.social and @democrats.org built this cycle. @iamwesmoore.bsky.social named the mistake. This DNC fixed it.

In just 10 days, we can: Flip the House. Win back the Senate. End Trump’s agenda But only if YOU vote. IWillVote.com

This problem is exactly what DNC members elected Ken Martin to solve. It's still a huge problem, but we have made big inroads in taking money out of the hands of grifting consultants and putting it into on-the-ground early organizing instead. newrepublic.com/article/2163...

@teddyschleifer.bsky.social The RNC has more cash. Dems have more of the map. The DNC chose to send $1M+ a month to state parties everywhere, red states included, and Republicans are spending but losing ground they used to own. Cash on hand is the wrong scoreboard. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

With 17 days till Election Day, we are working around the clock to get out the vote, and we need YOUR help. Here’s your official guide to helping Democrats get out the vote: win.dnc.org/substack

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

A new low for the Trump administration: raiding the home of a U.S. congresswoman weeks out from Election Day. This is the latest in a series of bigoted and unfounded attacks against my friend @ilhanmn.bsky.social. Ilhan is a fighter who will not back down. I am proud to stand with her.

Hmm — maybe spending hundreds of millions on ads, as folks in some corners have criticized Dems for not doing … wasn't all that important in this environment?

Republicans counted on money to save them, but after spending half a billion dollars, the polls didn't move. That's what saving it for the end gets you. @kenmartin.bsky.social spent early, on @demstateparties.bsky.social and organizers. The last four weeks belong to the @democrats.org.

I normally don't mind when the Onion hits Democrats but this one is really shitty because it perpetuates the irony-poisoned lie that the DNC controls candidate messaging or runs the show for Senate and House Dems, which it absolutely does not. So this isn't even good satire, it's bullshit crankery.

you know the onion was funnier when they tried to be funny

Kash Patel: "Andrew Tate, welcome to the FBI!"

Low T.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Any time Biden was incoherent major media had no issue calling it what it was. Every time Trump is incoherent, and that's most of the time, media artificially provide structure to his ramblings to make him seem lucid.

There is no "Democratic Party division." There is Ryan Grim, Matt Stoller, and a bunch of apologist dead-enders trying to undermine Jackson for the crime of having decided that Platner was not fit to be the nominee. The Democratic Party is united behind Troy Jackson.

This is a straight up impeachable offense

@axios.com: "Dems' primary plan gives Native Americans more power" www.axios.com/2026/09/13/d...

you can be arrested if you give water to people waiting on line to vote

as a jew who cares a lot about these issues, the fact that the worlds richest and perhaps most powerful man routinely spouts nazi propaganda is very bad and the main story here. But I'd note there's a bit of a gender story in this "poll" as well.

This is a problem? 🤔

At the most recent meeting, the DNC a) rejected a ban on ranked-choice voting, and b) passed a resolution to abolish ICE, all in a transparent process decided by the elected membership. That's a party functioning as a party should (by @davidoatkins.bsky.social) washingtonmonthly.com/2026/08/26/t...

Ken Martin is raising gobs of money and spending it in ways that DC consultants don't like but that actually help win at all levels of government. The results have been profound in terms of both downballot wins, party infrastructure, and candidate recruitment. www.newsweek.com/dnc-chair-ke...

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

Building off of last week's successful DNC meeting, @democrats.org Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social just announced the following cities are finalists to host the 2028 Democratic National Convention: 🦞 Boston 🏔️ Denver 🔔 Philadelphia Where do you want to go?

Reminder that a reason the DNC is burning through $$ is its spending on stuff we like!

Yes, having a DNC that gives a damn really does matter and has contributed to the 31-0 record in flips this cycle.

People reacting to the idea that the DNC does things that no one notices and none of the things they are accused of doing

The DNC met in Austin this past week, and three things happened that are worth your time. The ranked choice voting ban is dead. "Abolish ICE" is now our official position. And we confirmed a six-state early window that includes Nevada & New Mexico – the most diverse early calendar in party history.

I mean, if you want to go back to losing that's your business, but under Ken Martin we are kicking ass, raising record money, investing in state parties, and abolishing ICE. I know you and Rahm Emanuel are scared but you can step out of the panic room now. Get in loser we're going winning elections

Yes, record fundraising, record investments in state parties, rejecting insider RCV bans, crucial reforms to the primary calendar, calling for the abolition of ICE, but somehow Ken Martin is the problem instead of the actual truth, which is that he has been the solution.

Before a single state applied, the DNC agreed on three tests: is it rigorous, is it fair, is it efficient? I believed that the whole early window should look like our Party, not a piece of it. I'm proud to have made some small impact on this historic and diverse calendar. Now let's go win. 🖐️☝️

BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!

BREAKING (and I use this tag with purpose and intention): The DNC has rejected efforts to ban Ranked Choice Voting from being used in presidential primaries. A huge win for DC, Maine, Alaska and other states who love our RCV systems and want the full voices of our voters to matter in 2028. Big W!

The DNC's General Session has begun. We will: ✅ pass the strongest & most diverse *six* state early calendar ✅ revise the proposed delegate selection rules to remove the RCV ban ✅ ensure the passage of the "abolish ICE" resolution. Watch the DNC make history here: www.youtube.com/live/medKEeh...

BREAKING: the DNC's Resolutions Committee just voted 25-12 to call for ABOLISHING ICE! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Leading up to the midterms, the DNC has traveled across the country to train aspiring and current campaign staffers so they can win competitive races. Our upcoming NextWave Regional Bootcamp will help us win up and down the ballot in the Midwest this November and beyond.

Mike Lindell can still win if Mike Pence does the right thing.

They can lie and say it's about the fundraising. It's an obvious lie, since Martin's fundraising has been record-breaking. They can say it's about the debt, but it's not, because they were the ones who gave us the debt. It's simply, as it has always been, about whether the money goes to them or not.

Via @ajcarrillo.bsky.social (someone you should follow, FYI): All the attacks on Ken Martin are retreads of the same anger that Clinton consultants had over Dean investing in state parties and organizing 20 years ago, and the consultant class will not be happy until Martin hands the reins back.

If Ken Martin hadn't started spending money in places where it went to hire organizers and hoarded it instead to spend on TV ads that made money for DC consultants, you'd be hearing DC media sing his high praises for his record-setting fundraising. But it's not about the $ coming in. It's going out

And let's not forget our friends in Puerto Rico, Guam, NMI, American Samoa & others, who the Pod Save bros think are unworthy of DNC funding. I won't stand for borderline racist attacks on American citizens -- downballot races always matter, regardless of whether you live in a territory or a state.

Under Ken Martin, the DNC has raised nearly double it raised under the last comparable period. And we're investing millions into @demstateparties.bsky.social, building the infrastructure we need to win everywhere. These wins are the result of the DNC's strategy. Thank you @kenmartin.bsky.social!

This is super crucial and important reading on the DNC and Ken Martin. It is the story you are not being told in essence because political media has zero interest in telling it. timwegener.substack.com/p/i-sit-on-t...

🧵👇

BECAUSE THIS MUST BE SAID The Democratic Party is not broke. Ken Martin has been a gangbusters fundraiser. The money has been invested in state parties to allow them to build permanent infrastructure. You've been told lies by DC consultants who wish they were getting that money instead.
