Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick
Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
Americans are paying more for groceries, gas, and everything in between. So what is Donald Trump focused on? Building new ways for his family to profit from the presidency. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The proposed deal now under discussion would give Iran a 5-7% toll for traffic through Hormuz, making the war a massive victory for the Iranians and insuring them a long-term dominant position in the Gulf. It would reflect pretty much an unconditional surrender by Trump to Tehran.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
Tom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."
You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Todd Blanche tried to give cop-beaters and insurrectionists a payout with YOUR tax dollars.
A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Todd Blanche and his ATF announced dozens of federal gun “regulations.” They’re total rollbacks. The proposed rules would be some of the biggest blows to gun safety efforts in history.
Meta’s tax bill: down $8 BILLION. How? Donald Trump added loophole after loophole to Democrats’ minimum tax on billion-dollar corporations. What has he done to lower your costs? Nothing.

Facing allegations of domestic violence against ex-wife Emily Moreno, Rep. Max Miller said via livestream on Sunday that he has no intention of withdrawing from the November ballot. As the calls for Miller to step aside get louder, Republicans are running out of time to replace him.

Under Ohio law, August 10 is the deadline for the embattled congressman to withdraw if Republicans want to replace him on the ballot.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
🚨Don't fall for it. Todd Blanche didn't rewrite Trump's controversial IRS deal. He released a late-night DOJ memo designed to help secure the votes for his confirmation. We read the fine print. Here's what it actually says. 👇

They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.
Right at a year ago, Tim O’Hare, Matt Krause, and Manny Ramirez decided to reduce Tarrant County polling locations ahead of the November 2025 election. That’s nothing compared to what they are planning to reduce for the November 2026 election. This is Mendi using her one minute to push back in 2025
