The allegations against Congressman Max Miller are disturbing and disgusting. There should be no place for domestic violence in Congress or anywhere.
Max Miller, Accused of Abuse, Is Not Stepping Aside. Here’s What We Know.
The Ohio Republican who is seeking a third term defiantly denied domestic abuse allegations ahead of a deadline to replace him on the ballot.

Trump’s approval numbers get lower and lower as more Americans see that he is working only for himself and not for them.
Trump’s Polling Numbers Hit a New Low. Don’t Expect Him to Change Course.
Barely a third of Americans approve of Mr. Trump’s handling of the job, putting him at historic depths for a second-term president at this stage of his tenure.

The final two Republican holdouts have caved to Trump and pledged their support for Todd Blanche, Trump’s former attorney who has failed the Epstein victims. In the Republican Party, what Trump says goes. We deserve a Senate and an AG that will stand up for all Americans, not just Donald Trump.
Todd Blanche Failed Epstein Survivors Again
His behavior in a hastily arranged meeting with brave women seeking justice underscored his unsuitability for the attorney general role he desperately wants.

Nearly 9 years ago, white supremacists marched on the streets of Charlottesville, chanting ‘Jews will not replace us.’ Since then, Christian nationalism has spread throughout the country, putting our community in harm's way. Join us August 12 to discuss the state of white supremacy in the U.S.:

Trump has made over $2 BILLION while in office. His corruption is up-front and center, and Republicans are letting him get away with it. The only way to hold Trump accountable for his corruption is by flipping the House and Senate to Democratic control.
Trump Has Made Billions in Office. Will His Party Pay Politically?
The president took in a staggering $2.2 billion last year while in office. Democrats are hoping to make it a campaign issue in the midterm elections.

Trump is doing everything he can to avoid facing the consequences of assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll. After losing in both trial and appellate courts, he’s now asking the Supreme Court for help by replacing himself with the federal government as the defendant. It’s a clear abuse of power.

The Trump admin has only released a fraction of document requests they are required to share with the public. Americans are demanding transparency from our government, but Trump and Republicans think they are above the law and don’t have to answer to the American people. What are they hiding?
Public Records Requests Are Surging. The Government Is Falling Behind.
A Times analysis of 16 years of available federal data shows federal agencies lag in processing requests for government records.

Trump’s rising costs, coupled with Republican cuts to healthcare, are increasing the number of Americans without health insurance or access to essential care. When Republicans are in control, it’s harder for Americans to afford the most basic needs.
Uninsured Patients Rise Sharply, Hospitals Report, Citing Obamacare Cuts
More people who lost coverage after congressional Republicans ended enhanced federal subsidies are now seeking care in emergency rooms and unable to pay bills.

Todd Blanche is losing support for his nomination as Attorney General because he is clearly doing Donald Trump’s personal bidding, including funneling taxpayer money to Trump’s political allies. Blanche has repeatedly proven that he is here to serve Trump, not the American people.
Vote on Blanche Is Delayed After Senators Express Skepticism Over I.R.S. Provision
John Cornyn and Thom Tillis accused the nominee for attorney general of refusing to put on paper his promise to kill aspects of the deal he cut to settle President Trump’s suit against the agency.

With the cost of living already high, Trump is ending Medicare subsidies, making it harder for people to afford the medications they need. While Trump profits from his time in office, millions of Americans struggle to afford basic necessities and suffer under his corrupt leadership.
Trump Will End Subsidies for Medicare Drug Premiums
Millions of older Americans could pay more for their prescription drug coverage next year.

Trump implemented a new rule that can immediately send asylum seekers to deportation without a hearing. He continues to target the most vulnerable instead of helping them.
Asylum seekers could be sent directly to deportation court under new rule
The Trump administration rule, which took effect immediately, could transfer nearly 450,000 cases to immigration judges, who could dismiss the asylum petitions.

Trump’s vile display of misogyny, transphobia, and attacks on the press at the White House Correspondents Dinner would never be accepted in the workplace – so why are these views perpetuated by this White House? More on the Jewish Dem Download on Substack.
Trump is targeting millions of Americans living in states that didn’t support him by canceling over 600 grants that would create job growth and cleaner energy. He is actively choosing to hurt Americans and our economy to placate his fragile ego.
Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him
Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.
