Christina Bohannan lost by 800 votes last time. 800. Meanwhile her dad’s own insurance company canceled him the moment he got sick, and Washington shrugged. This time we close that gap, we flip IA-01, and we do it for every family insurance companies threw away. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy
Heads up. Milei introduced his Thiel-aligned “Super RIGI bill” in an op-ed, “opening with “praise for the Dutch East India Company.” As noted by others, the Dutch East India Company was granted a “commercial monopoly, its own army, currency & legal system, & the power to declare war.” 7/31/26 … 1/
Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days

Mike Rogers, GOP convert to election denial, wins Michigan GOP Senate primary
If elected, Rogers will flip a key seat and be another Trump ally in the Senate who could help to pass more voter suppression measures, including the stalled SAVE America Act.

'Solar farms are destroying our productive farmland!' cry the fossil-fuel-funded climate science deniers. In reality solar farms currently use up about 10% of the land area taken up by golf courses (0.07% vs 0.7%). And climate change is wrecking far, far more productive farmland.

NEW: The Michigan Senate matchup is poised to be one of the most closely watched races in November. As such, Trump wasted no time in spreading false claims of mail voter fraud, laying the groundwork of a voting conspiracy to lean on if his election-denying candidate of choice loses.
Trump, MAGA already pushing conspiracies about Michigan mail voting
It’s no surprise the president and prominent election deniers are already planting the seeds of a voting conspiracy to lean on if El-Sayed beats GOP candidate Mike Rogers.

There must be awareness by Americans of what is happening to our country and how it is impacting us- One by one the programs that we have developed to help those in need are being eliminated. Proof: Those in need have no right to LIFE- that's right out of Mein Kampf! #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks

Oh wow: ESA announces it has a positive detection of the SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage booster impacting the moon! I still haven't seen any images of a flash, but that's not surprising. It was faint. Here, they saw evidence of gas (vaporized material) in the impact plume by taking spectra.
ESO@eso.org · 6h agoEarlier today, the discarded upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket impacted on the Moon. As part of a coordinated observing campaign, our Very Large Telescope detected spectral lines of sodium and lithium gas in the impact plume lasting for 5-10 minutes after impact. 🔭 🧪 📷 ESO/C.
