If you like what you're seeing tonight in NC: two base-building orgs I highly recommend putting on your radar (for both praise and study) are DownHomeNC.org and CarolinaFederation.org.

In NC-10 (a heavily red district) Ashley Bell, a healthcare worker who supports medicare for all and defunding ICE just won the dem primary.

Hollow Opposition On Iran, top Democrats only have procedural concerns

I wrote about how Democratic leadership has abandoned the moral high ground on Iran, and how it has left them toothless when opposing Trump.
