Congratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.

Joseph Solomon Jr. is asking Republicans to disaffiliate & vote for him in the Democratic Primary for Attorney General “You go right on the Secretary of State website. If you’re going to update your voter address, it’s the same way as unaffiliating,” said Representative Solomon “Very, very simple.”

Congratulations to @donavanmckinney.bsky.social on a huge win for working families in MI-13! In addition to overcoming millions in outside spending, Donavan defeated a multimillionaire incumbent who enriched himself in office and voted to enrich Trump. This is how we build a better Democratic Party!

Thank you, Marc, Democacy Docket, and everyone who stopped this abominable disenfranchisement tactic. And thank you to everyone helping to save America. @normeisen.bsky.social

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.

1. the whole "disappointing night" thing is pure cope. El-Sayed beat the establishment candidate despite being outspent 10:1, that's an earthquake 2. primary polls are just not great and everyone needs to spend the next week going really, really hard for Peggy Flanagan

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers

The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

Palestinians held a mass funeral in the Gaza Strip for 112 people killed in a 2023 Israeli attack as the death toll from the genocidal assault continued to rise, despite a monthslong ceasefire.

The Senate Judiciary Committee just shamefully endorsed this administration’s nomination to be an Attorney General who protects one man and not we the people. Blanche now moves to the Senate floor. We @civilrightsorg will do everything in our power to fight it. civilrights.org/2026/08/04/t...

Laughable and not funny. Why should any person in this country feel comfortable with a “Payout to Punks Plan” as Senator Tillis called the weaponization fund AND blanket immunity from tax fraud for anyone & their entire family for no reason demanded by Justice? #BlockBlanche

Lisa Gilbert@lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social · yesterday

Cornyn saying that Blanche is willing to give Trump hard advice is laughable. If we’ve learned one thing through this process it is Blanche’s utter willingness to do literally anything not to cross Trump and to deliver on his agenda of revenge. #blockblanche

The GOP plans to cut Tarrant County's Election Day voting sites in half. One Democratic candidate for Texas House: a "voter suppressed, racially gerrymandered, poll cutting" county that sends letters to living people and declares them dead so they can't vote. The GOP can't win unless they cheat.

NEW: A pro-voting group sued USCIS to find out how it's working to purge voters from the rolls per Trump's anti-voting executive orders. The lawsuit comes after the federal immigration agency failed to answer FOIA requests related to its role in creating a federal citizenship-based voter list.

Republicans held a hearing on Medicaid fraud today, so I asked a top health expert: what bill delivered the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history?   Yep. Trump's Big Ugly Bill.   Seems to me like the biggest Medicaid theft actually happened last year in Congress.

The fact that the GOP has somehow hoodwinked both the voters and the media into believing this decades-long BS narrative that they are somehow "the party of fiscal responsibility" is absolutely astounding. #ResistTrump
