Something real is happening in rural Iowa. Voters who backed Ernst, Grassley, & Trump are turning out for Josh Turek because they’ve finally had enough. That’s not a fluke, that’s a movement building right in front of us, & we’ve got 90 days to keep it growing. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Trump Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins just called his SNAP cuts a "pretty big win". Throwing 5 million struggling Americans — including families with children — off food aid to fund tax cuts for the rich isn't a "win". It's a national disgrace.

Heather Cox Richardson: Trump's 2017 claim that he took no money from Russia " . . . contradicts Donald Trump Jr.’s 2008 statement that 'Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross section of a lot of our assets' and Eric Trump’s 2014 boast, 'We have all the funding we need out of Russia.'"
While Trump wrote an EO that would give him the authority to do so, now is a good time to remind everyone that purging voter roles 90 days or shorter before the election is banned in most states. If you live in a red state, remind your governor, your AG, your SoS, and your state representatives.
Hansi Lo Wang (he/him)@hansilowang.bsky.social · 18h agoToday is the start of the "quiet period" before the midterm election, a longstanding legal protection for eligible voters. Forty-four states, plus Washington, D.C., are banned from doing mass purges of voter rolls within 90 days of a federal election under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse goes after Todd Blanche and the useless pieces of paper that convinced Sen. Cornyn and Sen Tillis to vote for Blanche which moved his nomination forward.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

The harsh truth is that excess deaths surged where protection lagged. The virus doesn't negotiate or care what anyone believes. It just exploits bad decisions. It was killing people who thought they were smarter than it. Fauci saved lives. Trump took lives. #Blues #DV1 #ProudBlue #DOOR

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Judges don't trust DOJ prosecutors and Todd Blanche is still up for nominee for AG. Please call your Senators, especially R ones, and especially Cornyn and Tillis, and tell them NO on confirming Blanche as AG. August 2, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
