James Talarico: The first thing we have to do when we win this seat is pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We have to restore federal voting rights protections. These rights are inherent to people as human beings, the ability to shape your own destiny.
Trump’s economy shed 23,000 jobs in July. Retail lost 19,000. Hospitality lost 40,000. Waiters, cashiers, hotel staff, gone. This is the cost of Trump’s tariffs and chaos. Real families losing real paychecks while Republicans call it winning.Hey, Maga, are we great yet?!
A lifelong Republican just endorsed Mary Peltola because she understands working-class struggles better than the people supposedly on his own side. This is what happens when we build something bigger than party lines. Let’s keep that momentum going. #BlueWaveIn90Days
"I've been so waiting for a time when everyday people would push back and say: 'This is not working.'" Troy Jackson for ME Senate is rallying working-class voters to demand universal healthcare, affordable childcare, and reproductive rights. Now is our time to push back.
Trump's Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche reveals his plans to restrict abortion nationwide and stop the shipment of abortion pills across state lines.
Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these 2 new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."
Even Trump's own GOP allies can't pretend his lies are normal anymore—Sen. John Kennedy just casually outed him live on air by admitting Trump "grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought" and just rambles fiction as fact. Absolute clown show running the government!
Congress was meant to serve working families, not line the pockets of political insiders. With 100 days left, Mary Peltola is taking on D.C. corruption and putting Alaskans first. If you're ready for real accountability in the U.S. Senate, join her at marypeltola.com!
CNBC: Federal officials admitted they withheld billions of dollars in federal grants for states that did not vote for Trump in the last election. They previously claimed that they were merely trying to save taxpayer dollars. Just who do they think they're kidding with this?!
Here is Trump’s response to a question about releasing the report on the bombing of an Iranian elementary school. He says the generals may have their ‘reasons’ for not releasing it. But he’s Commander-in-Chief. I guess the buck does not stop there.
Blanche just ADMITTED IT. Oath Keepers and Proud Boys got their gun rights back because Blanche’s DOJ erased their convictions — the same man who defended Trump in matters tied to Jan 6. He’s not denying the conflict, he’s owning it. Call your senators and tell them to Vote No! #BlockBlanche
Tell your Senators, “Vote No on Todd Blanche!” (call 202-224-3121 & ask for your Senator’s office.) Todd Blanche is dismantling civil rights by raiding and intimidating voter registration groups, targeting “political enemies,” and going after anyone who holds power accountable. #BlockBlanche
California and 11 other states just sued to block Paramount’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. AG Rob Bonta says the deal, the largest proposed merger in Hollywood history, would “extinguish competition.” This fight is headed to court.
A win for working families: the ROAD to Housing Act the first major housing bill in decades is now law, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a key architect. It reins in Wall Street investors buying up single-family homes.
Governor Newsom: Trump didn’t drain the swamp—he gave it a gold-leaf presidential suite. He works for one man: himself. $4B richer while sitting in a public trust. This isn’t politics, it’s a heist. The question is, will we let him get away with it?
Cavaliers are not "cavalier" about democracy. They say let freedom ring for everyone, everywhere!
They want us tired. They want us discouraged. They want us to believe our vote doesn't count. John Lewis knew better. He marched. He bled. He believed. July 17-19, we honor him by refusing to be silenced. #GoodTrouble Lives On www.goodtroubleliveson.org
CNN: When you compare wage growth to inflation, which is now topping 4%, it doesn't feel as good. When inflation is outpacing wage growth by that much, it feels uncomfortable. It erases the gains. You're going in the wrong direction.
A ballroom. A reflecting pool. His conspiracies. That's were Trump's head is while Americans drown in a cost of living crisis. He threw a tantrum, cancelled an historic housing bill signing, and went back go his grievances. Unbelievable. Trump doesn't care about us.
Senator Chris Murphy: Right now, the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York. It is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy.
Jon Ossoff with Rachel Maddow: This is textbook corruption. Trump cuts healthcare for 1M+ Georgians, defunds hospitals and nursing homes-then funnels BILLIONS in federal money into a trump family mine in Kazakhstan. They didn't shrink government. They pickpocketed it.
Trump says affordability is a hoax while families are eating bills for breakfast and wondering which payment to skip. Then he blocks the bipartisan housing bill that would finally throw people a lifeline. He’s laughing at the crisis he helped create.
1 in 3 Americans are skipping meals or cutting utilities just to afford healthcare. ONE IN THREE. And Republicans want to cut Medicaid to fund Trump’s war. This is a crisis they are CHOOSING. 🔥 #FundHealthcareNotWar

Some candidates for CA Governor - and one is Matt Mahan - should drop out now! They don’t have enough votes to win and they may make it possible for 2 extremist Republicans to win. (For more info see open.substack.com/pub/chopwood...)
Ohio voter weighs in on outrageous gas prices. "You look at the price at the gas pump and you're like wow, is that real? So you try to avoid it a little bit. You don't fill up the tank all the way." Will it make a difference to people in Ohio when they vote? We’ll find out!
Justice was never the goal. This was a hostile takeover. Through dark money and rushed appointments, the Court has become a mechanism for billionaire control. Special interests are collecting their payout at the expense of voting rights. This isnt a mistake; it’s the system working as designed.
In Louisiana, fair maps are about justice, not just geography. For too long, Black representation has been silenced by tactical boundaries. We must fight against the maps that tell our communities they do not matter. Every vote counts.
Justice Kagan dropped the word ‘respectfully’ from her dissent in Louisiana v. Callais decision which guts the Voting Rights Act. I can understand the absence of respect in her statement of dissent. I don’t respect this decision (or these justices) either.
