Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
I respect the work you have done in the last few years, but this is a ridiculous take. On one side, an entire party is endorsing/allowing authoritarian takeover with a side of gross corruption. On the other side, one candidate said something stupid, that no one in the party supports. Get a grip.

Don't listen to James Talarico, you might quit Christian nationalism.
Another day of tapping the sign & begging folks to just read a bit about literally any other PR/parliamentary system than 🇬🇧 or 🇮🇱. As for the "🇬🇧 is just as bad" argument, I really don't know what to tell you. Look around, I guess.
To the extent that the media is treating this as a horse story: Max Miller is not a some random candidate from Ohio. This is a picture of President Trump speaking at the wedding of Max Miller and Emily Moreno.
Here we go again. Stop me if you’ve heard this one twenty or thirty times before. 🙄
Federal officials say a hacking campaign targeting water systems in at least seven states likely originated in Iran. The so-called president’s response: “I think Minnesota is behind it. I don’t think there was an Iranian cyberattack.” Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
Elon Musk is at it again. He’s trying to buy the midterms, with Susan Collins at the center of his plan. Musk authorized his America PAC to spend up to $120 million backing Collins and other GOP candidates in at least eight states. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Trump is pure evil. The proposed changes would remove most of Head Start’s 133 pages of requirements covering math and literacy curriculums, class sizes, medical screenings, home visits, and even the requirement that children brush their teeth after meals. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...
1/ A media company that forces reporters to pledge allegiance to Israel just gave a democracy award to a man who thinks freedom and democracy are incompatible, and calls Greta Thunberg the antichrist. Let me introduce you to Axel Springer & Peter Thiel. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Iran should demand the release of the un-redacted Epstein files as part of Donald Trump's surrender especially since he started this war as a distraction from it.
