On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.
Josh Turek wants something better for Iowans — he’s the Dem running to flip the Senate. Just an amazing human being! He wants to lower costs, raise wages, restore Roe,protect workers, SS & Medicare, reproductive healthcare and will fight for farmers and education. More of this 🙏🏼 #BlueWaveIn90Days
"I've been so waiting for a time when everyday people would push back and say: 'This is not working.'" Troy Jackson for ME Senate is rallying working-class voters to demand universal healthcare, affordable childcare, and reproductive rights. Now is our time to push back.
If I were running for president I would say that I would appoint him. Would any of the hundred million people who didn’t vote in’24 register and vote?

This couple came legally. They applied for asylum before their visas expired, wanting to do it all by the books. After six months, they applied for work permits to stay afloat, passing background checks. They worked legally and paid taxes while government delay dragged on. Then ICE came for them.
Laura Rodríguez Presa@lauranrodriguez.bsky.social · 6h agoThe couple’s arrest outside Midway Airport aligns with what immigration attorneys across the country have observed in recent months: an increase in ICE arrests at airports of people traveling domestically with expired visas but pending immigration cases. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/08/05/c...

ICE set a record in July. 51,000 arrests. Yet…we watch the biggest criminal in US history…walk around unscathed.
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!🥳

This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.

Roy Cooper said it and he’s right: we need Senators who actually remember young people exist. Rising rent, brutal job hunts, and half of Washington’s still stuck in 1995. We fix that by voting like hell in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
