Hey, Congress? Think before you confirm.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

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

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

Jenifer Lewis said it best: 35.9 million people sat out 2024, and we don't let that shit happen again. Not this time. Not with 90 days on the clock and everything on the line. Speak out, knock louder, make it impossible to ignore. #Pinks #BlueWaveln90Days

Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs. PabloReports

broad daylight. They’ve let rural clinics collapse in the very voting blocs that support their MAGA agenda. And they do this while telling folk they should have planned better.

At the end of the day, they want to manufacture public distrust in scientists, doctors, and public institutions because they want people trapped between illness, propaganda and the market. And guess what? The sabotage is working. Several recent surveys have already

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

Picture a courtroom in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. A sitting congressman sits at the table, watching his former wife, Emily Moreno, across the room. His own attorney, Larry Zukerman, stands to address the judge.

And in a sworn filing days later, Emily swears the room heard Zukerman say the quiet part about his own client out loud. Max Miller “just can’t control himself.”
