Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

The founders are calling. They suggest you read the damn Constitution.

On the campaign trail Trump said he would never let anyone touch Medicare. On 01.01.2027 the subsidy program for Medicare Part D that helps keep Rx prices down is set to expire. #RepublicanMedicareCuts can be reversed, but we must win the House and Senate. We have 91 days LFG!!
Republicans just voted to slash Medicare benefits that seniors rely on every single day. They call it “reform.” Patients will call it higher costs, fewer doctors, and longer waits. This isn’t abstract. It’s your parents’ meds. Your grandparents’ care. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
And Iraq didn’t have WMD. America does have a lot of stupid people tho! 🤦♀️
Pundits, spare me the hand-wringing about Democratic unity. The party is experiencing explosive growth. Keep it simple FFS. Americans are fed up with Trump and will vote for anyone who opposes him. That’s the story.
Keep it simple. No labels. Just vote for the best qualified anti-Trump candidate. This is no time for divisive bickering. 🇺🇸💪💙
Sen. DURBIN: This isn’t Democrats vs. Republicans. This is rule of law vs. lawlessness. The Attorney General is the people’s lawyer. Todd Blanche continues to act as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, treating the Justice Department like a law firm serving one client—the President.

BREAKING: The nomination of Trump's former personal lawyer to be Attorney General just advanced to the full Senate. Judiciary Republicans caved: All 12 Republicans voted in favor of Todd Blanche. All 10 Democrats voted against.
The biggest cost Trump is imposing on us is the cost of doing nothing about three worsening crises that threaten the very survival of America and the world: climate change, AI, and widening inequality.
The Biggest Cost of Trump
It goes far beyond guns vs. butter

Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”
BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
The most absurd thing is Tillis is going to vote for him. He calls out the worst corruption I history and then he will vote to continue it. Tillis is a coward. So glad he is leaving. Voting the rest out is the only way to end it. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Av8R0OoolR52...
Republican Senator Makes Startling Admission Ahead Of Todd Blanche Confirmation Vote — HuffPost
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) admitted "weaponization" is worse under Trump than before.

Durbin: "Mr. Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about a statement he made in a roomful of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."
Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
Sen Adam Schiff (D-CA) is final speaker before the vote Here’s Schiff’s statement about Todd Blanche: “He’s sought to compensate cop-beaters with your money”

“The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser—another abuser—in their workplace. There was no follow-up from either of them to see if I needed help or protection. There was no investigation ordered. No effort to get to the bottom of this ....
Too bad we don't have a press corps that can simply find out and report the truth of the matter instead of just telling us what both sides are saying
Trump's business model in the US since day one was predicated on money laundering. Started with Atlantic City mob & NYC mafia money. Going international let him launder money for Colombian drug cartels (Panama), Iran's IRGC (Azerbaijan), and Russian oligarchs. #ProudBlue #Blues #DV1 #DOOR IMPEACH!
