NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

Disgusting that the U.S. Dept of Justice would take this action to dismiss these Jan 6 cases. The people were pardoned and accepted those pardons (admitting guilt). Now they’ll be ready to attack the US Capitol again or worse, and fear no retribution from trump’s DOJ. Just a payoff.

Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

NC-11 US Rep Chuck Edwards decided to withdraw b/c he knows his behavior is bad enough he’ll lose re-election. But US House GOP only censured him & are allowing him to complete his term. Speaker Johnson allows GOP sexual perverts to stay b/c his margins are too tight to send them packing. SHAME!

Hey Louisiana CD-4 Voters: Your US Rep, Speaker Mike Johnson is “letting the process play out” for Republicans who have “Ethics” issues (i.e., Criminal) but speaks out against Dems. That’s not very Christian. YOU DESERVE BETTER. VOTE HIM OUT IN NOVEMBER.

#VA01 needs more clean, affordable energy. Rob Wittman supports Trump 100%. Trump *illegally* increased the cost of our new energy project, and we regular Virginians will probably pay for it. We can’t afford Rob Wittman. He increases costs, fails to produce new jobs, and defends Trump. #NoWittman

Trump tariffs added over $800 million to Dominion Energy’s offshore wind project

The news comes as Dominion also announced a delay in completion for CVOW, though it's already generating power.

The OBBB/HR1 "tax cuts" for regular Virginians were always a sham. We said so at the time and now even MAGA Republicans are starting to realize they've been scammed. Rob Wittman did this to #VA01. He'll do it again if we let him. So let's not let him! #NoWittman

We warned you this was a scam. More Trump voters now see the Big Ugly Bill as a giveaway to the wealthy. The bill PERMANENTLY extends tax breaks for billionaires. The "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime"? TEMPORARY. Everyone is seeing through it.

For the first time in 19 years, #VA01 is a real toss-up race. Today's primary decides who carries that opportunity forward, and the work we start tomorrow will enhance their chances to send Wittman packing. Vote today, and unite to beat Rob Wittman! #NoWittman

Today we vote; tomorrow we unite to beat Wittman

You can unwrap your gift tonight: it’s a Democratic nominee for VA-01!

Rob Wittman in #VA01 voted for this. He also knows that it’s only going to get worse, and he’s doing nothing to protect our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. We HAVE to replace him in November! #NoWittman

Over 4 million people are no longer receiving food aid amid sweeping changes to SNAP

SNAP, also known as food stamps, has seen a rapid and consistent participation decline since last July. The drop comes as the program faces historic cuts and changes.

I delivered all 3 of my kids at hospitals that no longer provide labor and delivery care. Maine has lost 10 birthing units in just the past decade. While I appreciate the challenges hospitals like Lincoln face, closing this unit would be devastating for patients, workers, and Midcoast communities.

Dozens rally in Portland ahead of MaineHealth board vote on closure of birthing unit in Damariscotta

MaineHealth says it's considering the closure because of staffing challenges and low birth rates.

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

STATE RUN TV.

Cornyn lost his primary. Tillis is walking. Neither has a donor, a term, or a future to protect. Both caved before lunch Monday. www.JackHopkinsNow.com

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

This information has to get more exposure b/c Fox & NewsMax and far-fight news sources are. It talking about it.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

How is this BS even on a ballot in Washington State????

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
