Governor Pritzker just published a Substack calling out Trump’s insane election lies tonight—and it’s worth a read. Pritzker has made voting a lot easier in Illinois, while his Republican opponent has embraced Trump’s conspiracy theories and defended the January 6 attack.
Trump's own file release tonight says Russia was working to attack Biden and boost Trump's re-election campaign.
Lot of the documents Trump released tonight are still heavily redacted... what are doing here?
Trump is counting DEAD PEOPLE in his number of "non-citizens" who are registered to vote. They found very few *actual* non-citizens registered to vote. This is from their own report. Pathetic!
Karoline Leavitt just said “there are very strict ethical guidelines here at the White House” and it might be the hardest I’ve laughed all day. Listen to her tone... even she doesn’t believe it!
Seems unfair that Trump’s teleprompter operator is in trouble with the feds for making $100K betting on Kalshi when the president is *literally* manipulating the stock market and the federal government to boost his net worth by billions.
Powerful moment as Epstein survivors rise to oppose Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general.
So apparently, the Secret Service is FURIOUS at JD Vance for using a military helicopter to fly his son to his fucking golf lesson. These people are ridiculous. Could you imagine if Kamala Harris did this?!
Governor Beshear should absolutely challenge the law Republicans passed to strip him of the power to appoint Mitch McConnell’s replacement. MAGA changes the rules whenever it fears losing power. Democrats should fight back, take this law to court, and force Republicans to defend their power grab.
Here’s Speaker Mike Johnson saying he’s too busy to know anything about his own government murdering a man in cold blood yesterday in Maine. He sounds annoyed by the question. These are not good people.
Trump finally paid E. Jean Carroll the $5.6 million he owed her after a jury found him liable for sexually assaulting her. I imagine it won’t heal her trauma, but a small measure of accountability for a lawless president is a reminder that it’s possible to get justice for his many crimes.
Brutal ad from the Ossoff campaign on Mike Collins protecting sex traffickers and child abusers. Glad to see Democrats fighting like this.
Kentucky Republicans have tried to take away Governor Beshear’s ability to appoint Mitch McConnell’s replacement. Beshear says he’s considering ignoring the state legislature and appointing a Democrat to replace McConnell anyway. He believes the law is unconstitutional.
Loomer is already out there blaming the Russians for Lindsey Graham. It’s going to be a weird day online.
Going forward, the Democratic Party should operate as if John Fetterman is a member of the Republican Party. I fully expect them to wait until the most painful or embarrassing moment to have him switch parties. That’s what I told the Washington Examiner 👇️
NewsNation: Why are some people mourning the end of the Graham Platner campaign? Me: People believed in the campaign’s message and vision, but Platner lied to them — and they feel taken advantage of. I’m just glad to see my party kick a guy like this to the curb because Republicans won’t do that.
MAGA celebrity James Woods made his Twitter account private after reports resurfaced alleging that he tried to take a 16-year-old girl to Las Vegas. Trump is probably already drafting the inevitable pardon.
Graham Platner has lost the right to dictate anything to anybody inside the Democratic Party by abusing women and lying to the people who supported him.
Speaking of scumbags who need to go away, let’s talk about Mike Collins. The Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia just fired his second chief of staff after he attempted to abuse his office to free a Holocaust denier from prison. Not great!
Texas Republicans finding out Talarico raised $30M in the last financial quarter
Maine Democrats deserve the right to pick their nominee — not the party, or Platner and his team. Create an open, transparent caucus where people can make their pitch, and then we can get back to work beating Susan Collins.
The Real Reason Republicans won't tell the truth about Mitch McConnell...
Every single Republican member of Congress who voted for Donald Trump’s disastrous budget should be booed this loudly in every room they enter for the rest of their lives.
"If Scott Jennings, Thune, and everybody else could have a 20-minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60-second proof-of-life video to show us that he’s okay. I think they know the deadline for a special election is August 3rd."
Speaking of scumbags, Ken Paxton has been caught in London with his mistress instead of campaigning for Senate in Texas. No wonder the GOP Is so freaked out about this race.
MAGA influencers psyching themselves up to post dumb takes about Taylor Swift’s wedding
Probably worth noting that Republicans are working to overturn the 17th Amendment and take away your right to elect your own senators. Seems notable, given that four GOP-appointed Supreme Court justices argued that the president can just change the Constitution with an executive order.
