It’s funny, but also not funny at the same time.
Trump's performance tonight in North Carolina is a disgrace and the crowd isn't into it at all, but you could've said the same thing about innumerable rallies of his in 2024 and then 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. I hope we're smarter now!

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

House to leave early, punting Hegseth impeachment vote until after November elections
House Republican leaders cancelled votes planned for Thursday. Members won’t return to Washington until Nov. 9.

Massie drops 8 impeachment articles on Hegseth, so House leadership naturally panics… and cuts the week short for a 7-day recess. Because why tackle actual constitutional duties when you can just turn off the lights and pretend nobody's home? Hard work, folks. Vacation starts now
It's official: Per MS NOW's Mychael Schnell, the House is canceling tomorrow's votes. They're going home until after Election Day, to avoid voting on Thomas Massie's impeachment resolution against Pete Hegseth.
JD Vance: This administration is serious about the deficit (The national debt recently surpassed $40 trillion under this administration)
Vance saying the war ends after the midterms sounds like an abuser's bargain....I'll stop hurting you when you agree to my demands. But of course the hurting won't stop. If anything it will get much worse.
Aaron doesn't show trump in a 'less than flattering light'. He shows him as he IS. He's fat, he's ugly, he's unhealthy, his hair is a mess, he dresses in ill-fitting clothes...shall I go on?

OOF -- Enten details how Trump went from +2 on Russia-Ukraine in 2024 to -33 (!) now, and how Zelenskyy polls among Americans at +13 compared to Trump's -18 (in other words, Zelenskyy is 31 points more popular in America than Trump!)

Just checked the price of a pound of ground beef in St. Cloud, MN (Emmer's district) -- $5.29/lb at ALDI, $7.23/lb at Walmart. Not sure where "less than $2/lb" is happening there?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayEmmer says Republicans need to talk more about grocery prices that aren't expensive: "Eggs are at pre-pandemic prices. Ah, beef is at, ah, less than $2 a pound for ground beef ... I think we have a lot to run on."
When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable. But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

⚠️ Federal agents may be present at the polls in November, according to FBI Director Kash Patel’s testimony. Patel’s comments, made during a Senate hearing, are the latest from a Trump official that cast fear and uncertainty over what to expect at the polls this fall: https://demdock.com/4h8Wos7
Kash Patel defended his new policy before the Senate Judiciary Committee which allows the FBI to hire agents who have engaged in bestiality and it barely gets noticed because there are 50 other things happening from these clowns each day that are worse.
Ossoff: "Here are Qs I have: is it the case that Kremlev was in China with Putin just days before he attended the wedding and gave what appears to have been a lavish gift to the president's son? And what are his ties to Russia's security services?...these folks are not just corrupt. They're clowns."
