Rebecca Cooke on Derrick Van Orden: “He's gotten drunk in his official office, yelled at Senate pages, carried a loaded gun through TSA... I mean, he's really out there.” Cooke also slams his “six votes that he took to continue this war in Iran” as Wisconsin families face rising prices.

The hours. The uncomfortable conversations. The doubts. The late nights. The skipped bedtimes & the time away from family. In Serbia, students organized for nearly two years. They walked town to town, knocked doors, & had real conversations with their neighbors. They won. Thread 2/5🧵

Smart move! #Blues #Il

Gratified to see widely respected journalist Margaret Sullivan endorse my view that major media must depict Trump’s abuse of power as a “five-alarm fire” – because it is.

"So, in Alaska, if Peltola wins, her victory is inherently suspect and must be investigated. And in Minnesota, if Flanagan bests Tafoya, her victory is inherently suspect b/c Trump has declared that Tafoya can’t lose, period, unless Dems cheat. This is the long, stupid shadow of the 2020 election."

“People can't even think about tomorrow right now because they're so focused on trying to make ends meet today.” Florida congressional candidate Bale Dalton tells Ben Meiselas about rising costs, struggling small businesses, and the economic pressures facing families in his district.

🚨 Cindy Hyde-Smith told Americans struggling with beef prices to “pick another protein.” Mississippi Senate candidate Scott Colom has a response: “Just double down on dumb.” “She has no idea how people are struggling.” The Mississippi Senate challenger did NOT hold back.

Tennessee governor candidate Jerri Green just CALLED OUT Marsha Blackburn for avoiding a debate. “This is a job interview and everybody is seeing her for the COWARD that she is.” “Show a little backbone if she has one left and stop running into elevators, stop running from press and the airports.”

🚨 Retired Navy captain and Florida congressional candidate Bale Dalton on the Iran war: “We have such a clown show in the Pentagon right now.” “We're in a war with no strategic end state... that's sinking our economy and putting our servicemen and women in harm's way with no stated goal.” WATCH.

Trump only cares about his ballroom and his profits. Meanwhile half of all Americans struggle to afford groceries.

YIKES! It seems @justinjpearson.bsky.social’s TN-9 opponent state senator Brent Taylor has a history of sending unsolicited nude pics to people who are not his wife. (No wonder Trump wants him in congress) www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

A former Miss Switzerland contestant has accused Donald Trump of raping her at the Plaza Hotel in 1993. Now House Judiciary Committee Democrats are calling for an independent special counsel to investigate allegations involving Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

Mississippi Senate candidate Scott Colom CHALLENGES Trump to debate after blasting Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith for holding no town halls in SIX YEARS. “Since she's chicken, why don't you debate?” On Epstein: “They promised they would prosecute pedophiles, not protect them.”

WOW: Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom says he went DIRECTLY to Trump's rally and spoke with people waiting in line. Some weren't even there to support Trump. One told him they were attending because there was “nothing else to do” — but planned to VOTE FOR COLOM.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) must let his Democratic opponent, State Rep. Gina Hinojosa, review more than a thousand pages of unredacted communications he’s had with billionaire Elon Musk, a judge has ruled. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/a...

🔥 “Instead of refuting what Obama said about Trump’s presidency MAGA influencers are laser-focused on what he said about his redecoration.” @debunktionjunction.bsky.social clowns @ClayTravis’ fake outrage & shows Obama’s right about Trump’s gaudy taste (+ trillion-dollar tax cut for the rich)

PEARSON: “The corruption in city hall is ridiculous. Our city council has been compromised by the chamber of commerce + Elon Musk.” @justinjpearson.bsky.social on the Memphis city Council’s failure to pass a data center moratorium— and councilman Chase Carlisle crying at a press conference.

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

Mayor Mamdani and Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso visited the New York Aquarium to meet some seals and celebrate the impact of the administration’s $2 million investment in the aquarium.
