Republican megadonor Ronald Lauder has closed his checkbook for political donations. In this case it may be due to financial and family considerations, but the ROI for billionaires is gonna need examination.

Ronald Lauder, a Billionaire G.O.P. Backer, Closes His Wallet
Ronald S. Lauder, a major funder of conservative political causes, has not given a single dollar this year to Republicans in his home state, and his super PAC has gone idle.

I can remember in 2008 the sense of how the arrival of a better America would accompany this man's election. I still believe his message of hope is the right one. It is a strategy. Happy birthday, Mr President!

Obama Hope Poster from 2008

Happy birthday to one of America’s greatest U.S. Presidents, former President Barack Obama! Obama’s presidency, leadership, legacy, scandal free presidency, & high level of ethical integrity stands in stark contrast to the rot, depravity, violence, & corruption of the entire Trump/GOP regime!

As Chair of the Democratic Party, I refuse to surrender a single county, a single precinct, or a single vote to the Republicans without a fight. That is why we organize. And that is why we will win.

Trump/GOP are ripping away Americans’ Medicare & Medicaid healthcare coverage & subsidies! Trump/GOP want you broke as a joke as they laugh all the way to the bank giving your subsidy money to tax breaks for billionaires! Just yesterday, Trump moved to end Medicare Part D prescription subsidies!

Pump the brakes, folks. Context matters. I was the DNC Assoc. Chair in ‘18, & fundraising wasn't easy then either.It rises and falls every cycle. Ken Martin & the DNC have invested a historic amount in state parties, helping build the infrastructure that's already paying off in special elections.

The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.

After a near miss from Beto O’Rourke followed by a tough loss by Colin Allred, Talarico has a real shot to win the Senate seat in Texas He needs A TON of help. The GOP political machine there is as corrupt as it gets But maybe Donald Trump shouldn’t have been so eager to dump Cornyn for Ken Paxton

Striking new poll of Texas Senate race: Talarico 45 Paxton 40 This is really notable: Talarico leads among non-college voters by 45-36 and among independents by 43-23 (!) Hard to imagine this is right but he's probably slightly ahead now. www.texastribune.org/2026/07/28/t...

🚨 U.S. Senator “Ohio” Dan Sullivan showing up to Mountain City Baptist Church (Anchorage Baptist Temple) — the most right-wing, cop-loving pulpit in Anchorage — and standing feet away from a Confederate battle flag like it’s just part of the decor. Normally this would be disqualifying.

Just a reminder that the Trump/GOP’s “SAVE Act” is a poll tax that will require you to PAY to vote with costly documentation! For married women even more expense with any name change. Do NOT be fooled by the name! The SAVE Act does not save you anything. In fact it costs you money making life worse!
