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.
This is how it’s done. Concede defeat, congratulate the winner, and pledge to work together to advance the interests of the people. 👏👏👏

Heavy equipment is rolling into Big Bend for a $1.7B border project — all for “national security” on a stretch with under 0.045% of illicit traffic. Patrol roads through campgrounds & boat launches. One of Texas’ wildest places getting carved up for BS reasons. bigbendsentinel.com/2026/08/04/m...

The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump launched his war against Iran. Celebrating its reopening as an "achievement" of Trump diplomacy is illogical. Please stop accepting this White House framing.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
Schedule F targeted roughly 8,000 policy-related positions. This rule could reach nearly everyone in the federal workforce. This is the kind of political control over federal employees that the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 was intended to prevent. It is a return to Nixonian government.

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
