"The Minocqua Brewing Company — which previously courted controversy when owner Kirk Bangstad claimed he would offer free beer when President Donald Trump dies — announced a half-price beer deal for whenever the 84-year-old Kentucky senator’s death is made public."

1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

I’m withdrawing from my reelection to spend more time with my old ugly hag of a wife instead of those young beautiful staffers, who definitely will think I’m super hot if I keep propositioning them, because I don’t want to give my wife half my 💩 or pay alimony. ~ Chuck Edwards (NC-R)

Ohio voters could change the direction of the entire country in November. That starts with electing Democrats up and down the ballot — including fighters like Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton! I can tell Ohio Democrats are ready to win, and I’m going to do everything I can to help them.

Bravo, Senator Whitehouse. You, unlike you Republican colleagues, obviously did not have your fingers crossed when you raised your right hand and swore to defend the Constitution. God Bless you Sir.

I just woke up and Senator WhiteHouse is talking. Oh my God. Everyone needs to be out on the streets. This is not a good thing putting Blanche in. This is an actual hit on America as if it was the mafia that themselves doing it. People if you are not afraid, you should be. 

Whitehouse on Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell: "It was to get exculpatory information about Donald Trump and then reward her ... How often does a prisoner allegedly facing threats or danger get moved to a less secure facility? Think about it. It doesn't pass the test of common sense."

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two 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."

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

MS: One of your criticisms of Fauci is that he said one thing publicly, where he sort of downplayed the virus, & one thing privately, where he acknowledge its seriousness. President Trump did exact the same thing. Does Trump deserve the same level of scrutiny? RAND PAUL: *immediately changes topic*

NEWS: Former Trump press secretary and Rep. Max Miller's ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Grisham, has now filed a temporary restraining order against him

Another Grift Tariffs were just another big Trump scam Apple got 2.2 billion in tariff returns Amazon got 600 million Walmart 10 billion Target & Costco 2 billion Many other corporations got hundrends of millions And we were the ones they passed tariff costs down too.So where is our money?

Maybe the reason Donald doesn’t think what Max Miller is accused of doing to his ex-wife is a big deal is because of what Donald did to *his* ex-wife. In a sworn deposition, Ivana Trump said Donald, angry over a painful anti-balding procedure, yanked tufts of hair off her head and then raped her.

Democrats are strongly favored to take the House, while the Senate tilts Democratic in this new election forecast for the 2026 congressional midterms. It puts Democrats at above even odds to take control of BOTH chambers.

They’re going to do anything they can to scare us away from the polls. We cannot let them. We have to leave our comfort zones, talk to more people and do the work to make sure every voter knows their voice matters. We are going to vote. We are going to win. Leadership Matters!!
