More progressive democrats have triumphed over AIPAC money — starting with the surprising victory of Aisha Wahab in Northern California – Harold Meyerson comments on how “AIPAC is on a negative roll”.

Also: Indivisible’s 2,500 local volunteer-led groups are preparing for a rapid response to any threats to free and fair voting around election day, starting with plans to promote early voting, and including preparations to mobilize large-scale protests if there are attempts to undermine the results. Leah Greenberg, co-founder and co-executive director, explains.

Plus: Vanita Gupta reviews the massive legal planning underway to defend the vote, the count, and the certification of the winners in the midterms – she was Associate Attorney General in the Biden administration, and has been working with the Senate Democrats’ Elections Task Force on planning and preparations for November.

Bonus: History on the March: A ‘Save Our Signs’ project update: Hundreds of volunteers have submitted 17, 236 photos of historic signs before the Trump administration removes them: the signs deal with things like slavery, women’s rights and climate change, among other topics the Trump administration doesn’t want people to know about.  8-21-2026
