A Kansas ballot measure to change state Supreme Court justices from governor-appointed to popularly elected has failed (69–31% with 32% reporting). Republicans pushed the measure as a way to make the court more conservative.

🌊Feel like I'm tossing pebbles in the ocean, but if we all toss pebbles, the current will shift! Ally to ALL! Hate has NO place! Books can save us! 📚 Only recently learned ERA was fully ratified, but NEVER PUBLISHED! But we want a WOMAN PRESIDENT?!
Michigan U.S. Senate Democratic Primary Washtenaw County, multiple vote types: 🟣 Abdul El-Sayed – 13,843 (69.6%) 🟠 Haley Stevens – 5,674 (28.5%)
I am tired of all of us being held hostage to the stupidity of 37% of Americans. Enough is enough, and it is time we ALL stopped putting up with it. Tell these people TO THEIR FACE they are fucking idiots, and cut them off. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY AND THE ABUSE MUST STOP.
That party was in May 1989, two years before Maxwell died? That's the earliest I have Trump on Maxwell's yacht. (Just learned that Tower and Maxwell died in accidents the same year, how strange.)
Fun fact: The last time a Cabinet pick failed on the Senate floor was 1989. John Tower. No Cabinet pick has been defeated on the Senate floor in Susan Collins’ nearly 30 years as a senator.

Ahhhh.... a great episode of #Maddow, with a tasty little dessert! More than 170,000 federal student loan borrowers who said they were defrauded by their schools are set to have $11 billion in debt erased. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/b...
Education Dept. to Wipe Out Student Loans of 170,000 More Defrauded Borrowers (Gift Article)
The sprawling case, centered on students defrauded by for-profit schools, has now become the largest class-action settlement in American history.

As a former middle school teacher/librarian, I can say Talarico is equipped to handle Congress. #maddow
What will the media companies who are publishing stories that Blanche agreed to a “deal” with Cornyn & Tillis to kill the slush fund write when people start getting paid with our tax dollars & this whole thing is revealed as a sham? Since they aren’t writing how it’s a sham now.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow
That moment the Myrmidon he chose for a high profile scapegoating assignment ended up scapegoated herself. If he doesn't dump her sorry ass, it's not a good faith reassessment; she's infamous, and Miller and Wiles fear her loose-lipped dish, unleashed on Fox.
Talarico scores again with @maddow.bsky.social tonight. We expected a simpatico dynamic. Yet Maddow asked the hard questions, including about structural voter suppression and outreach to the Black community post a contentious primary. Interviewer and guest rose to the occasion. He’s the real deal.
#maddow The presidenct de-immigrationing of Haitians is just as bad as this. Remember? The minister who infamously claimed that the 2010 Haiti earthquake was caused by a "pact with the devil" was the American Christian televangelist Pat Robertson.
@maddow.bsky.social just did @jamestalarico.bsky.social a SOLID tonight. There's hope for Texas, yet. Thank you, Rachel! You rock! James Tallarico, you rock, too - you're a superb human being. #maddow #talarico
I still can’t believe these cosplaying Nazis are putting ankle monitors on Haitian immigrants in Ohio for the crime of moving here for a better life. THEY DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG! #maddow
I really don’t recognize the country I was raised in anymore. Haitian immigrants being shackled with ankle bracelets by fuckin ICE! We have become the banana republic we always considered Haiti to be. It’s just disgusting what this criminal regime is doing the human beings in our country. #Maddow
@maddow.bsky.social Jeanine Pirro failed to reach the level of corruption and lying Trump expects from his loyalists. It's not that she didn't try. She did her best. But she was defeated by the facts and truth. Two of Trump's greatest enemies. #maddow
That's essentially what it is Rising deaths in the concentration camps But no one covers it So much time on Blanche so little time on the concentration camps, the war crimes, and on #Inners #Maddow
Lynne Perednia@perednia.bsky.social · 2d agoThis racist cruelty toward Haitians is frightening. Stars on jackets are next. #maddow
The reason so many republicans are drawn to him? He looks like a GOP choir boy ready to tow the GOP talking points and then he speaks. He sounds like he read the teachings of Jesus, and suddenly, the true faithful followers are shamed and embrace the democrat who embraces Jesus. Coming home!
Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas
"Politicians like Ken Paxton, they use those difficult issues to rile people up, to divide us, to distract us in order to win power for themselves." -James Talarico on not taking the bait on trans panic.
James Talarico CAN WIN TEXAS..!! Just think if we all send him even $1 how great it will be to help his campaign Hope you saw him on Maddow tonight How to send that great little $1 (or more) Just go to : jamestalarico.com @jamestalarico.bsky.social
Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 2d agoJames Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.
This is a very good documentary movie about her ...
