Our candidates will always be up against insurmountable odds backed by unlimited money, but this loss exposes the cracks in the establishment’s corporate-backed armor.
We have many more opportunities this cycle to help working class people take their power back in Washington.
This close margin was achievable because our progressive movement organized around Nida from Day 1. The might of our movement threatened corporate power.
A special thanks to Bernie Sanders for bringing the fight against oligarchy to #NC04 & giving a megaphone to their AI data center fight.
This close result is a clear sign that not only is the Dem establishment vulnerable, but they're desperate enough to call in every corporate favor to bail out their weakest incumbents.
But voters are fed up with the corporate takeover of our democracy—rubberstamped by the Party.
The AI lobby bought its first seat in Congress today.
After flooding #NC04 with nearly $2 million in ads, @nidaallam.bsky.social narrowly lost her primary.
Nida's exactly the type of leader voters are demanding, but the establishment will always work overtime to protect corporate power.
This victory was the first opportunity —and now, first success—of the cycle for Justice Democrats to advance their mission of building power for the working class in Congress by electing a bloc of leaders with the urgency to serve the people’s agenda — not big corporate donors.
Justice Dems was the first national group to endorse Pastor Haynes — we knew his career as a civil rights leader fighting for economic justice & against GOP authoritarianism is exactly what Congress needs.
With no corporate PAC spending in #TX30, he's the clear people's choice.
Justice Democrat Pastor Haynes win tx-30 primary
Justice Democrat Pastor Frederick Douglass Haynes III just won our first primary of the cycle in #TX30!
Working people have a new champion for freedom and justice in Texas.
We couldn’t be prouder that he's joining our team of fighters to build power for working people in Congress.
Greg Casar wins democracy primary
Congrats to @gregcasar.bsky.social who won his primary today in the new #TX37!
Republicans tried to gerrymander him out of a seat in Washington, but alongside his community, he out-organized them to continue being the progressive voice Austin deserves in Congress.
We have a big, urgent opportunity to primary establishment Dems who make Trumpism possible through fealty to corporate power and enthusiasm for arming Israeli war machine. My interview with Geoff Simpson on @justicedemocrats.com's 2026 insurgent primary campaigns. thedigradio.com/podcast/prim...
I don't think this has really sunk in for people — if even most, not all, of these candidates win this year, the number of Justice Democrats in Congress will *double*
Corporate Democrats won’t confront fascism or corporate power because too many are funded by it. Justice Democrats are doing what leadership won’t: primarying complacency, backing working-class fighters, and rebuilding the party from the ground up. This is how power actually changes.
This is interesting: As Dems & independents nationwide look for a new politics, Justice Dems are launching a *full slate* to "build a true opposition & governing party."
Each incumbent they're challenging takes corporate PAC cash & "has voted to send Israel billions while families at home suffer."
A New Generation of Fighters is ready 🔥!
Let’s go win this @justicedemocrats.com ✊🏽!

After decades of the same leadership, #TN09 can't just keep going with a status quo that's failing them.
@justinjpearson.bsky.social is running to bring people-first leadership to TN's only blue district.
From Elon Musk to the NRA, he has the courage to take on the biggest fights & win.
.@coribush.bsky.social was our first-ever JD for a reason.
In #MO01, we can defeat AIPAC’s handpicked shill to elect a true working class champion who embodies what it means to bring urgency & power for everyday people in Congress.
Cori is the fighter our movement needs back in DC.
The #MI13 primary is a fight between a working class champion & a literal multimillionaire.
While Shri spends taxpayer $ on self-promoting ads,
@donavanmckinney.bsky.social is taking on utility monopolies raising our prices & corporate polluters poisoning our air & water.
The choice is easy.
Voters in #CO01 have had the same Congresswoman for ~30 years, backed by Big Pharma & corporate PACs.
@melatkirosco.bsky.social sacrificed her job as an attorney to defend pro-Palestine protesters.
That's the leadership Congress needs—rooted in moral courage & unburdened by corporate PACs.
In #NY13, @darializaforny.bsky.social is a working-class Afro-Latina organizer who's organized her community against ICE, fare hikes, & Israel's genocide.
She's running to take #NY13 back from AIPAC & the real estate lobby to invest in babies not bombs & renters over real estate developers.
Workers deserve it all & #NY07 deserves @claireforny.bsky.social!
Claire’s deep roots in the labor movement are desperately needed in a Congress overrun by corporate interests.
She's running to turn this seat into a tool for working people to take their power back from the billionaire class.
In one of CA’s poorest districts, Jimmy Gomez got to DC & closed the door behind him.
Angela Gonzaels-Torres is running to bring leadership unbought by AIPAC & Crypto to #CA34.
As the daughter of a deportee, she'll fight back against Trump's fascism with the urgency her community deserves.
In #CA07, @maiforus.bsky.social is running to topple a 50-year political dynasty to bring leadership with the urgency this moment demands.
As Sacramento Councilmember, Mai's fought for working families & is ready to transform a Congress that protects politicians into one that protects us.
.@katabughazaleh99.bsky.social's spent her career doing what voters are desperate to see the Democratic Party do now: fight back against Republican extremism and fight for everyday people.
She's running against AIPAC to give #IL09 a new generation of leadership that will never back down.
In #IL08, @junaidforus.bsky.social is a proud IL-raised immigrant & small business owner, who steps up for his community when electeds don't—like starting an org to deliver over 1 million meals to unhoused neighbors.
He's fighting AIPAC & AI Super PACs to bring unbought leadership to #IL08.
In #TX30, Pastor Frederick Douglass Haynes III is running to bring the outside voices of everyday people into the people's House.
His career has been defined by his public service, community building, and moral clarity.
Exactly what we need in Congress right now.
@nidaallam.bsky.social is running to take #NC04 back from the claws of corporate PACs & deliver it back to North Carolinians.
She's fighting for Medicare for All & a corporate-free democracy & has the track record as County Commissioner: raising wages, funding schools & expanding healthcare.
At a time when corporations and the billionaire class have made life unaffordable and brought us Trump, every single incumbent we’re challenging takes corporate PAC money.
Every single incumbent we’re challenging has voted to send Israel billions while families at home suffer.
