It’s been going on for months and no matter how many I mark as spam and block they keep coming back with new numbers!
Makes me wonder if someone signed me up for something

Democratic candidates send texts too. I don’t go around handing out my phone number but at some point I must have given it to someone, perhaps Bernie when I volunteered for his campaign. Of course they sold it to more democrats who sold it to more democrats. I reply STOP to every single text I get but there are always more because my number gets sold to someone new.
Charities do this too. Give $100 to your local food bank and you’ll start getting donation appeals by mail from 5 other charities.
It should be illegal.
I dunno about other states but in CT they can get your info from voter registration records. 3 local politicians have lost my vote by sending me crap (I contacted them and told them that)
I vaguely remember donating to the bernie campaign, and now for years I just get a ton of emails and texts. What I didn’t remember was making an ActBlue account. I didn’t have it saved in my password manager, but just for the hell of it I tried logging in recently with a old password I use to reuse, and I had an account.
I removed my phone number, and changed the contact email to mygmail+ACTBLUE@gmail.com. I’m supposed to not get any more texts, and hopefully the emails stop, or at least use the new address for easy filtering.
