STORIES AND TWEETS TO UPLIFT
What we are reading:
Trump could sink the House GOP in suburbia
CNN
July 7, 2020
President Donald Trump''s continuing erosion among well-educated voters looms as perhaps the most imposing headwind to Republican hopes of recapturing the House of Representatives in November -- or even avoiding further losses in the chamber.
In 2018, a suburban revolt against Trump powered Democrats to sweeping gains in white-collar House districts from coast to coast. The backlash left the GOP holding only about one-fourth of all House districts that have more college graduates than the national average, down from more than two-fifths before the election, according to a new CNN analysis of census data.
House Democrats push through first bill in a decade expanding Affordable Care Act
Washington Post
June 29, 2020
The House passed the first significant expansion of the Affordable Care Act since its birth a decade ago, providing Democrats a high-wattage platform to castigate President Trump for his efforts to overturn the landmark law during a pandemic and an election year.
Democrats add four candidates to 'Red to Blue' program
Roll Call
June 29, 2020
House Democrats'' campaign arm is adding more candidates to its program for strong challengers, underscoring that Democrats appear to be on offense in November while simultaneously defending their majority. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added four Democrats to its Red to Blue program, which gives candidates additional access to DCCC strategy, resources and training.
Democrats Renew Health Care Attacks on GOP as Virus Builds
The Associated Press
June 26, 2020
Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., who leads House Democrats' campaign arm, said the party considers health care the top issue in dozens of swing districts that will determine which party controls the chamber next year. "We are literally battling the worst pandemic in 100 years. And Washington Republicans are dead set on being the biggest threat to public health," she said. She said the Democratic health care message would be, "Democrats are the party of health care. Republicans are the party of drinking bleach."
Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson: This Is Our Moment To Reimagine The Justice System
Essence
June 16, 2020
"My daddy changed the world." The words of 6-year-old Gianna Floyd recognize a nation that is demonstrating deep sorrow and a yearning for an end to police violence against Black Americans. The killing of her father, George Floyd, has awakened a country that has long ignored Black America's plea that it live up to its highest ideals, equal justice under law.
Like Gianna's, my father's bearlike hugs gave me comfort and made me believe that I could change the world. In moments of trial, he would say, "Don't let the negatives get in your way."
