Does anyone have any insight on Collins’ chance of reelection if she switched parties to democratic or independent? Seems like Arlen Specter was the last sitting congressperson to make that decision in 2009..

That’s awesome!!! And yes, a lot of these special elections have been a turnout/numbers game (and have honestly been pushed through thanks to a few really dedicated consultants/campaign managers that really know what they’re doing). With the upcoming second, special session I hope that we have some movement on the…

Fellow Oklahoma Democrat here!! The special elections this last year do give us hope, though.

I’ve been really politically engaged at a local and state level in fighting for LGBT rights and friendly candidates in a red state and we’re seeing some forward momentum. With everything, the building of community and solidarity and…

I responded to this in response to another commenter, but Mueller likely already has his tax returns as part of an ex parte court order which is not issued in public and doesn’t require notification of the person being investigated.
