Still too early to call in the MI Senate primary race. El-Sayed has a 3 point lead, but most of Washtenaw County is already in, and a majority of the 462,000 votes left to count are in Wayne County, mostly Detroit, and Oakland County, Detroit suburbs, where Stevens has consistently led by 8-11.

Latino voters helped propel Trump to a win in 2024, and big GOP wins in Texas and around the country. Now, many of them say they would not vote for Trump today. Latino support for the GOP in Texas is collapsing. We need to reach out to disaffected Latino voters. www.kut.org/politics/202...

Latino voters could decide key races in Texas. They're still weighing their options

This was supposed to be damage control, but Miller tried to put out a raging fire with gasoline. Miller's campaign is a raging dumpster fire. He has no choice but to drop out of the race. Too bad. We could have beaten this prick easily. Now the race will be back to a toss-up.

🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:

Er, wut? I did a comprehensive dive into this, and the results are disturbing. It turns out that the actual number of pro sports players who died on the field from COVID, or anywhere else from COVID, is a whopping... Zero. None. Not any. Bupkes.

Ron Johnson: "Aaron Rodgers was smart enough to take ivermectin when he got covid ... unfortunately, more people didn't follow him. We wouldn't have had as many of athletes falling unconscious, sometimes dead on the field of play. You've seen the video reels of this happening in 2021."

Trump's helipad is a stupid vanity project. Now, after weeks of work and millions of dollars, Trump ordered everything to be torn up, and start all over. Why? Because it was tilted. Why was it tilted? Because Trump demanded it be built on a SLOPING LAWN. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Trump is already redoing his $5M White House helipad after complaining it was slanted

The president reportedly told contractors to redo the project on the uneven South Lawn

Recent polls that showed Talarico with a small lead also showed 14% undecided. This is the first major poll to remove the undecided option, and the first to show Talarico over 50%. This is great news, especially as 2/3 of the undecided were GOP-leaning independents. www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Fox News Poll: GOP divisions shape Texas Senate race

Ken Paxton trails James Talarico by 3 points in the Texas Senate race as character concerns and a GOP unity gap reshape the 2026 midterm battle.

Victor Marx isn't just a corrupt gundigelical MAGA prick. Victor Marx is a racist, wildly antisemitic corrupt gundigelical MAGA prick. That's why this prick is getting his racist, antisemitic ass kicked by 20 points. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

‘Disgusting’: Colorado Dems Condemn ‘Antisemitic’ Attack on Gubernatorial Candidate

“Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope," noted Colorado news anchor Kyle Clark

I don’t call myself a blue dog Dem, a yellow dog Dem, a DSA Dem, a centrist Dem, or a progressive Dem: I call myself a Big Dawg Dem, where our only platform is kicking MAGA’s ass in elections. Anyone else?

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

I made dinner for a man who abused me more times than I can count thinking I could fix things. It never stopped the abuse. It created the expectation that he could do whatever he wanted and then be fed. Max Miller is trash. If the GOP won’t say it, I will.

Be extra careful today, CenTex peeps. Hot, dry, and windy means high risk of wildfires. Many Austinites may not remember the 2011 Bastrop fire that destroyed 1,700 structures and caused hundreds of millions in damages.
