House Republicans do not have a mandate; many of them barely won in '24: Rep. Miller-Meeks (IA-01) won by 0.2% Rep. Evans (CO-08) won by 0.7% Rep. Mackenzie (PA-07) won by 1.0% Swing Left's 1+ million volunteers will make sure voters in their districts know how they voted.

This bill is obviously going to pass the House as well and the sooner we all stop giving credence to the people who use reporters as a therapy outlet, the better.

Mackenzie + Bresnahan get a cheap press citation to point to on the campaign trail. They’ll pretend they tried making BBB less horrific. But they’re still voting for it. And hospitals will close because they’d rather give tax cuts to billionaires. It’s just a game to them.

Not only did these members vote to enact the LARGEST cut to Medicaid in American history, they also voted to: — Take food away from 40 million people — Jeopardize 380 rural hospitals — Hike energy bills up by $400 Help defeat these cowards: secure.actblue.com/donate/sl-hous…

For the next 487 days, we at Swing Left will be laser focused on ensuring that these Republicans — who all won by LESS than 4% or represent districts VP Harris won — pay a political price for voting for this bill. Learn more about our strategy & join us: swingleft.org/House

Rep. Bresnahan has brazenly lied to the people of PA-08. Ex 1: He pledged to ban congressional stock trading. Instead, he has become one of the most prolific traders in Congress.  Ex 2: He said he would protect Medicaid. Instead, he voted for the largest Medicaid cut ever.

If Republicans want to try to steal the mid-term elections through gerrymandering, they'll have to go through Swing Left's 1+ million members —including our 260k CA members—first. We're all in & we won't be going down without a fight. Full Statement: swingleft.org/statements/ca-…

Rep. Schweikert is the latest vulnerable Republican looking to ditch the House because he can't defend the litany of hypocritical votes he's taken. Regardless of what Schweikert decides, Swing Left's 1+ million members are already organizing and raising money to flip AZ-01.

BREAKING: Republicans’ extreme gerrymandered maps just passed with only Republican support in the Texas House of Representatives. We’re fighting back. Stay up to date here: swingleft.org/ca

Immense gratitude to the Texas Democrats who worked tirelessly to bring national attention to this extreme GOP gerrymander. Now it’s on to California, where Swing Left’s 260k members in the state will work tirelessly to stop Trump & Republicans from rigging the 2026 midterms.

Governor Gavin Newsom is exactly right: it's time to fight fire with fire. Swing Left's 260,000 CA members—and 1+ million national members—are ready to bring that fire and mobilize across the state in support of Proposition 50. 🔥 Join the fight: swingleft.org/p/redistrictin…

👏🏽 S/o to those on the ground who made this win possible. Tonight's result marks the 4th overperformance in Iowa this year & is another proof point that at least two congressional districts (IA-01 & IA-03) are in play this year. Swing Left members are ready to flip those seats.

*Another* proof point that Iowa is in play this cycle. As a reminder, both Rep. Miller-Meeks and Rep. Nunn are deeply unpopular. 🔻 Miller-Meeks’ approval rating: -14 disapproval   🔻 Nunn’s approval rating: -15 disapproval Swing Left is all in to flip IA-01 & IA-03.

“The attorney general’s race carries potential impact beyond the state’s borders…” Great piece on the AG race in Virginia which underscores why we at Swing Left are for the first time in our history channeling our members to take action in an AG race. LFG, Jay Jones!

Republicans are tearing up Congressional maps across the country to run from their voters and avoid accountability at the midterms. We can fight back. California: vote YES on Prop 50. YES on 50 helps balance the scales nationwide. Our country needs you, and I stand with you.

NEWS >> Rep. Schweikert makes it official, he becomes the latest vulnerable Republican to ditch the House because he knows he can’t defend his own hypocrisy or Republicans’ toxic agenda in this swing district. For months now, Swing Left's 1+ million members have been organizing
