That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

Elected Democrats need to have Slotkin's back here because the last time she made a pretty routine call for accountability—namely, by reminding servicemembers to ignore illegal orders—Donald Trump took to social media to suggest that she should be executed.

Just disgusting: Sen Elissa Slotkin made routine comments about the need for a Dem Congress to impose real accountability on the Trump administration, especially mid-tier enablers, and MAGA ginned up a two-minute hate over it. But she's 100% correct. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

YIKES -- Trump loses his shit at a reporter for the third time during this Q&A -- "Wait wait -- Quiet. Quiet!!!! What's wrong with you? Are you a SICK person?"

🚨 Trump’s golf course hearing took a stunning turn as a top Interior Department official claimed he learned about Trump’s construction plans from Truth Social. The judge also ordered him to preserve his personal phone after a surprising revelation about who was sending him golf course designs.

Trump’s Golf Course Hearing Erupts as His Own Official Gets Grilled

Trump’s Interior Department chief of staff said he learned about the president’s construction plans from social media as a judge ordered evidence preserved.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

So it appears that a far right Oregon street thug with a penchant for the German far right (past and present) is now a de facto assignment editor for Bari’s CBS. He’s the MAGA maniac who cooked up that bogus mental health “evidence” re. Talarico.

This is at least the fourth person with diabetes to die in ICE custody just this year. Many more have been hospitalized and/or reported starving themselves so they wouldn’t die after being denied care. Is anyone aware of any litigation specific to immigrants with diabetes?

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

Ossoff: “Trump begged Putin for diesel. Meanwhile, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and campaign. Oil fields, refineries, and gas stations worldwide are being sold to Trump cronies in a deal backed by the US government.”

Again, the scandalous thing about Elon Musk spending $276 million on the 2026 midterms is NOT how *much* money it is. The scandal is how *little* money this is *to him.* Compared to his net worth, this is roughly equal to the median American my age spending $40.

ABC This Week chyron: "Billionaire Musk Has Given $276 Million In Support of GOP This Cycle"

As the Trump regime sues LA officials for not disqualifying 20,000 people DHS has labeled as non-citizens based upon their screening tool, it is good to remember that DHS used to same tool to identify over 15,000 non-citizen voters in Nevada. Complete checks revealed that ALL of them are citizens.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle.

It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.
