While Americans struggle with rising costs, Trump is getting richer and destroying our national monuments. The President should be taking on the housing crisis and affordability; instead, he's building a ballroom for himself using taxpayer dollars and shady corporate donations.
Susan Collins ended the second quarter with $11 million in campaign cash. Her Democratic opponent, Troy Jackson, raised $2 million in just 48 hours after securing the nomination. Nearly two-thirds of Maine voters reportedly see the election as a referendum on Collins.

DAVID JOLLY: “I reject socialism, I’m a capitalist, but I support Angie. She’s a fighter. She leaves it all on the field.

Well well well. Everyone’s talking about all the wins that Donald Trump has had in Republican primaries and not enough time talking about the fact that they are losing special elections left and right and he is zero for zero in the general election this year.
New Yorkers sweat the small stuff, so why shouldn't their city government? From potholes to permits to parents needing a night off, there is no problem too big — and no task too small — for us to tackle.

Educators for Pritzker! Pritzker: "Education is the bedrock of our democracy and is the reason why our nation has succeeded in the past." Pritzker slams Trump for his attacks on public education and Head Start. "He's trying to destroy public education." An educated public is what the regime fears.
Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.
