I’m scared.

75 days out from Election Day, poll after poll shows Dems closing the gap with Republicans -- a sea change from just a few months ago.

Headlines like this from Yahoo News are everywhere: "New polls show Democrats could 'win' the 2022 midterms." MSNBC seems almost giddy with excitement.

But I’m scared that Dems are cheering when we should be digging foxholes. Republicans haven't even begun their general election push yet -- and what the speed of this turnaround tells me is that the momentum can turn against us just as fast.

If you’re worried too, here are some progressives running for election and re-election in conservative swing districts. They need our help. Donating to their campaigns now will give them a crucial head start for their big push this fall.

It is true that there’s a glimmer of hope now that just a few months ago looked like what could be a democracy-ending trainwreck.

The Washington Post reports: “After a series of actions that started in late June with the Supreme Court ruling on abortion rights…a path has opened up toward political victories in November that would hand liberals a chance at sweeping legislative wins that might eclipse the major Democratic agenda items signed into law this summer.

But then the Post cautions, “It is, to be sure, a narrow path.”

Cook Political and FiveThirtyEight show why.

For all the headlines and excitement, Cook Political has found cause to move just one Senate seat (Pennsylvania) from toss-up to leans-D since March. ONE.

FiveThirtyEight’s House forecast shows Dems with a 1 in 5 shot at keeping the majority now, up from 1 in 10 earlier this summer.

The likelihood of Republicans controlling the house falling from 90% to 80% does not make me feel like celebrating – it makes me feel determined to do every single thing I can do to help.

For most of us, that means putting our money where our hearts are – whether that is $10, $50, or $3.

Here is where you can do that and have a BIG impact. You know what to do.

Let’s get out there and save our democracy.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
