NEW: House Dems’ campaign arm is quietly guiding allied super PACs to siphon GOP votes in key races by boosting conservative-leaning minor candidates. They also want PACs to take down lefty spoiler candidates. More for @axios on the DCCC’s redboxes: axios.com/2026/10/21/democra…

For @WashingtonSun: The DCCC has opened a $25M line of credit. "It will ensure we can finish the cycle strong and win the largest majority possible," the DCCC told me. "The amount is in line with how much we normally do, adjusted for Trump inflation." washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…

SCOOP: AIPAC will no longer endorse congressional candidates or earmark donations to congressional campaigns. The group's super PAC, United Democracy Project, will continue to operate and it will urge members to donate directly to pro-Israel candidates. jewishinsider.com/2026/10/ai…

Guardrails Alliance PAC, which pushes AI regulations, hits Republican Laurie Buckhout in #NC01: "Buckout's got the backing of ... tech execs who want data centers in our backyards to build tech that'll take our jobs, and that researchers are saying might even take everything."

HMP ad in #AKAL: "How did Jeffrey Epstein hide it? He was protected by the elites. Elites like Nick Begich. Begich voted against releasing the Epstein files, trying to hide the truth. Alaskans need someone who cares more about bringing down costs than protecting a rapist."

New NRCC ad w/ Rep. Bresnahan attacking Paige Cognetti in #PA08: "She wants to take your guns away. That's some woke baloney. Maybe that's why her lying ads are funded by anti-gun radicals and Epstein Associates. Paige Cognetti is basically Kamala Harris without the charisma."

Common tactic of the political-psychology industry that has very much shaped Future Forward and effective altruism —>
Democratic 501(c)(4) Future Forward USA Action is using the fear of social embarrassment to get people out to the polls: "Remember, who you vote for is a secret, but whether you vote is public information. Your friends, family, and neighbors can look up your voting record."
