United States Congress elections, 2026 Ballotpedia: The Encyclopedia of American Politics

Start every day with this reality:

EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined.

The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador.

This is a violation of due process.

If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

It’s weird how you can accomplish things by simply trying to do them

Also, why aren't you dis-barring attorneys who defy the rule of law, the Constitution?

Thank you for this! We need a lot more smuggling of facts into these propaganda machines like NM and F*x.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

If you are not watching @booker.senate.gov right now, drop everything and turn him on. History in the making.

REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration.

So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY.

Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

Conservatism is dead. If you're still defending it in 2025, you're a fascist. It's as simple as that.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Are there any Black women in STEM starter packs floating around? If so can my brilliant fiancé @ikhea.bsky.social be added? She finally made the switch to Bluesky and could use some follows!

How Reading Fiction Increases Empathy and Encourages Understanding There might some truth to the beloved quote, "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies." Researchers say reading fiction can show us different viewpoints — and shape how we relate to each other.

More reading, less fascism.
