circling back to this: I am genuinely confused at what is considered disqualifying behavior for House Republicans. If Chuck Edwards needs to drop out (and he does) then so do Cory Mills and Max Miller

Under an ethical cloud over allegations of sexual harassment involving two of his female staffers, Rep. Chuck Edwards R-NC announced overnight that he will drop his bid for re-election. jamiedupree.substack.com/p/under-ethi...

“What about due process,” is such a tell with these guys. Their party goes about systemically denying due process rights to anyone they deem too powerless to tell them “no,” and then insist that no one can ever come to a conclusion about their own actions that hasn’t been adjudicated by a jury.

MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?

Absolutely fucking disgusting. The GOP is the party of wife beaters, rapists, and Epstein cronies.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

There are 6 days until polls close on August 11. This election is too important to sit back or sit out. Make your plan to vote, then send this post to three friends & make sure they have a plan to vote on or by August 11! MNVotes.org

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

We're organizing to get money out of politics — and we are WINNING.

⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Last night, we celebrated an unprecedented win for people-first politics in Michigan. But today, I want to make one thing very clear: THE JOB’S NOT FINISHED. The mission is to beat Tom Barrett and send an unbought, independent-minded representative of mid-Michigan to Congress.

If you’re in Minnesota, check out our GOTV tool that is the most effective form of voter motivation available to you this election cycle. It’s as easy as chatting with neighbors who already agree with you, but may need a little nudge to actually follow through and vote.

Michigan just proved something the political establishment doesn’t want to admit: When we organize, we WIN! Now, let’s make it happen again on Tuesday, August 11. Join @indivisible.org’s phonebank for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social on Monday and help us keep up the momentum.

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, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!

This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.

Rather absurd framing when you consider the results up and down the ballot, and where expectations were before just the last few weeks.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

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

This level of spending actually makes me deeply angry. Let's never do this again in a primary ok

Unfathomable

A monstrous waste of money.

Unfathomable

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

🚨 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social just secured a game-changing win! Despite the status quo Democratic establishment lining up behind his opponent and special interests flooding millions into this race, Abdul's people-powered campaign won. Being a real Democratic fighter is good policy and good politics!

the lesson of tonight is that everyone needs to lock the fuck in for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

I couldn’t be prouder of the movement we’ve built in mid-Michigan. Thank you, Ambassador Bridget Brink and Matt Maasdam, for your years of public service and all your hard work on the campaign trail. While tonight we celebrate, there’s still much more work ahead.

Congratulations to @wewill2026.bsky.social on a massive win for working families in MI-07! Corporate PACs, special interests, and establishment Democrats eager to preserve the status quo tried to stop his people-powered campaign — and they failed. Voters are embracing a new generation of leadership!

In MI-08, an R+1 district with a Dem incumbent, the GOP candidate Trump endorsed is losing by double digits to a guy who'd dropped out last month.

NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections

If you’re in line at 8PM, stay in line. You have the right to vote.

On August 11, Minnesotans have the opportunity to say no to the status quo in Washington that’s working for billionaires and corporations. www.startribune.com/us-senate-ra...

Before leaving for August recess on Friday, the Senate could vote on a bill that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption. Senate Democrats can stop the CLARITY Act if they work together, but that’s not going to happen unless our senators hear from us. 👇

Stop Trump’s Crypto Corruption - No to CLARITY Act

The Senate will be considering the CLARITY ACT, a Trojan horse for deregulation that would only help Trump, billionaires, and foreign governments profit at our expense. We need senators to block them.
