Sounds like you want to use OPM for your own nefarious uses, like electing Democrats. You’re just like Trump. Both sides do it!

So not too late to give?
I’ll probably give on my own to Senators based on how close the races are.
Can’t really donate time, so $ it is.

So not too late to give?
I’d say definitely not too late. I watched a show on PBS last night that was really, really upsetting and has made me realize that this moment is critical in our trajectory as a country (I was already aware of this, but in sharper focus now).
So I’ll be doing another round of candidate $$ today. Of course the earlier the candidates have the money, the better they can budget their spend. But any moderately seasoned team running a campaign knows that late money comes in and will be planning on that in their budgets. So it’s up to us to help fulfill that expectation.
If you’re at the Washington state fair today (do the Puyallup!) swing by the Dem booth under the main grandstand and say howdy. Or hi. Even just hello is fine.

@RaflW: ETA: I don’t even think of Sept 21st as ‘late money’ I realize that came off wrong. What I mean is, give now, give again in a few weeks if you find more $$ under the sofa cushions, give on Nov. 1st if you have some extra in that paycheck, the only time that is too late is if Trump is our fvking president.
Turns out, the three questions identified as from the Observer actually came from McCrory’s campaign. The newspaper knew nothing about them. The planted questions generally were favorable to the Republican incumbent and opened the door for him to criticize his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper.
Editorial Page Editor Taylor Batten attended the event and said Tuesday he knew the first question hadn’t come from him. Later, two other Observer reporters who were there told him the same thing, raising suspicions about the questions.
When Batten did try to ask a question, McCrory responded: “We’ve got three Observer questions answered already. I think you guys dominate the news enough.” The governor moved on.
Thanks for putting this up. My money situation is a little tight right now but I gave last night and will give more when I can.

A republican would do stuff like that? Shocked, shocked I am, not. Actually that seem pretty tame, lying to the media or about the media. What’s the old saw, Don’t piss off someone who buys ink by the barrel?

@RaflW:
yeah, it’s critical. Though sadly we’ve been on red alert pretty much since the douchebags took the House in 1994. But now it’s even worse; now the Republicans really _are_ fascists.
The normalization of Trump is so instructive. People wonder how Hitler took power. Now it’s obvious: no one is too right-wing for the knuckledraggers and the treasonous money-hungry among the elites.
Money sent. FSM, I hope this works. I really did not want to live through a(nother) history lesson on How Fascism Happens in Allegedly Civilized Countries.

Shit, I need to raise money for myself. If I am successful enough in this endeavor, however, I got you, bruh.

I hit it as hard as I could for today (last night) and got a receipt from ActBlue for 16 donations to 16 office seekers.
Next I’ll get 15 more thank you notes from the campaigns, asking for more… ouch!! Negative reinforcement to the 15th power!

Thanks for the reminder. It’ll be more dough next pay period.
@JR in WV: Yes, it’s kind of annoying that some of the individual candidates are sending me mail. Email is okay — I have a spam email address for that — but I wish they wouldn’t waste their dollars on direct mail.
