Going up to someone’s door, knocking, and choosing to listen to them takes courage. Last weekend, Adam Brody joined me, @ericsaymore, Swing Left Orange County, and Swing Left West LA Mountain Vocal Locals at the doors to talk with voters in 100-degree heat. He spoke about it with Savannah Sobrevilla for @GQMagazine. I’m beyond proud, and even more grateful, to have Adam and Swing Left volunteers across the country building up the courage to ask another human how they feel about the direction of this country. If you’ve been waiting to take action, this is your sign. gq.com/story/knock-knock-its…

If we don’t innovate now, Republicans will have a huge advantage—not just in the midterms, but in 2028 and beyond. NEW: Swing Left helped broker a data agreement between @DNC, @DemDataExchange, and @DemStateParties to create truly open source party infrastructure. That means grassroots organizations like ours, campaigns, and party committees can build on one another’s work instead of duplicating it, each contributing what they do best. Together, we can make the whole ecosystem function better and help Democrats win back national power in a way that lasts.

What’s happening in KY right now might be the clearest example of why state legislatures matter. People ask me what races they should invest in—state or federal? The answer is both, but that the states are our greatest path to protecting our election system from Donald Trump. Today, @SwingLeft announced our 2026 state legislative targets and our new Win in the States Fund at swingleft.org/states-fund that will help direct resources to the most competitive races up and down the ballot. Let’s chat about it.

Staffing news for our political team: Proud to welcome these strategic and visionary leaders to the @swingleft team to help us swing big to win lasting Democratic power: 🔷Craig Auster, joining as Head of Political 🔷David Bowes, joining as Senior Advisor 🔷Lauren Brainerd, joining as Senior Advisor

Unfortunately, Maine no longer has a credible challenger to Susan Collins. If and when that changes, we'll reevaluate our engagement in this race.

. @swingleft has removed Maine from our list of target Senate races. This isn’t a decision we made lightly. As we’ve said many times, defeating Susan Collins is essential for winning a Democratic Senate majority. Swing Left’s ruthless pragmatism means we direct grassroots time and money to Dem nominees in races that affect the national balance of power.

The @SwingLeft Big Swing strategy is about winning—not just in the midterm elections, but again, and again, and again. We’re facing a unique chance to not just eke out a majority in the House, but to secure governing power for the next decade. The 2026 midterms are Democrats’ best standalone shot at winning for a decade, and we cannot blow it. Thanks to @NBCNews and @akarl_smith for the highlight.

Big news as shared in @NBCNews: today, @Swingleft is unveiling The Big Swing—a strategy not just to win in 2026, but to build Democratic power that can last long-term. Thread 👇

The conversations we at @swingleft are having with voters by knocking every door with Ground Truth are critical—not only to help Democrats win this November, but to rebuild trust in Democrats in order to keep winning and gain lasting power.  Thanks for the shout out on the pod, @TVietor08!

Loved joining partners and allies from @unitehere, @SomosVotantes, Battleground Alliance, and @americavotes for a great panel conversation on the path to winning back the House at #AVsummit26.
 The stakes are clear, but winning isn’t enough. We need a durable majority. That means changing how we do voter contact: start earlier, focus on the toughest districts, and lead with listening, not lecturing.
 If we want long-term power, we have to earn trust first.

⬇️@swingleft’s Ground Truth program, as described by Reps @patryanuc and @aoc Across ideological divides in the party, we need to hear from all voters—those within the Democratic base as well as swing voters not yet on our side. Ground Truth is how we get it done.

To win durable majorities, Dems need to rebuild trust with voters. That’s not about moving the party to the left or to the center. It’s about bringing our politics closer to the ground — closer to what people are experiencing and what they care about. Listening is how we start.

Great weekend knocking doors with 100+ @swingleft volunteers, @PatRyanUC, and @AOC for a Ground Truth canvass. Volunteers & elected leaders side by side, knocking doors, listening to voters, and sharing what they heard. This is how we'll win back power.

We’ve experienced many horrific moments since Trump retook office. But I haven’t felt this sad, or so furious, in a long time. The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti—and the federal occupation of our communities—are unjustifiable. Grief is a given.
