There are 38 days until the election, and just TWO days until the FEC reporting deadline that is the reason your inbox is full of apocalyptic fundraising emails. Remember that last-minute donations (after Oct 15 or so) won't help much. So give tonight!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

Replying to @nibot
It's the last required public disclosure of fundraising for all Congressional races. So if you are an organization sitting on the sidelines trying to decide who is 'viable' to give your last-minute support to, one of the things you examine closely is this filing.

It also drives a lot of political journalism and beard-stroking, and serves as an input to prediction models like @fivethirtyeight that everyone fetishizes. I hate it but it's an important milestone.
