IF there are free and fair mid-term elections in 2026 Governor Newsom said Democrats will take back the House of Representatives. “Trump knows he will lose.” That is why he told Texas Republicans to find five more congressional seats that Trump says he is “entitled” to.
There is so much work to do in Iowa alone, but we need to make sure democracy lives to see another day. This requires people power at different levels, local, state, national. On issues and campaigns, on holding up the pillars of democracy such as public education, fair elections, local news, due process, rule of law, freedom of speech and assembly, etc.
Gavin Newsom has emerged to lead Democrats in the fight. Barack Obama has given Newsom his stamp of approval. The democratic rank and file are behind him.
Below is a live conversation with Gavin Newsom last night outlining what is at stake, and including a brief outline of the California plan to neutralize the Texas Republicans’ move to ram through five additional congressional seats for Trump without permission from Texas voters.
Following the live conversation with Governor Newsom there is a link to where you may sign up to volunteer if you are able to help the effort.

O Me! O Life!
By Walt Whitman
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
