Is it weird that Republicans seem to have the same talking point on Mitch McConnell? “We spoke for about 20 minutes.”

Greg James talked about his experience at Taylor and Travis’ wedding: “I did speak to Taylor and I spoke to Travis. I actually did say to her ‘Do you know how difficult it’s been to keep this a secret? Doing a radio show everyday’l

• David Costello: Attorney, 2026 U.S. Senate candidate. • Hannah Pingree: Former Speaker of the Maine House, former director of the Gov Office of Policy Innovation. The clock is ticking. Dems have less than 3 weeks to choose a nominee in one of the most important Senate races in the country. 5/5

• Valli Geiger: State representative, registered nurse, former mayor of Rockland. • Dan Kleban: Co-founder of Maine Beer Company, entrepreneur, former U.S. Senate candidate. • Paige Loud: Former congressional candidate, educator and community advocate. 4/5

• Nirav Shah, MD: Former director of the Maine CDC, former CDC principal deputy director, physician. • Jordan Wood: Former congressional aide, pro-democracy advocate, 2026 congressional candidate. 3/5

Potential replacements include: • Troy Jackson: Former Maine Senate president, labor leader, former gubernatorial candidate, currently running for the nomination. • Shenna Bellows: Maine secretary of state, former U.S. Senate nominee, former gubernatorial candidate. 2/5

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Graham Platner has suspended his campaign and says he’ll file the paperwork to formally withdraw from the ballot by Monday, the legal deadline. If that happens, Maine Democrats will have until July 27 to choose a replacement nominee. 🧵

Why is a taxpayer-funded org paying to advertise on Trump's own social media platform? Freedom 250 gets tens of millions in federal money — and now some of it may be flowing straight into Trump Media's pockets via sponsored Truth Social ads. We follow the money:

Honestly I think Taylor should do what Megan Thee Stallion did and threaten content creators and magazines with legal action for misinformation and defamation or bettet yet, actually sue them like she did. Girly pop has gotta stop being so nice to these loser ass creators and magazines.

I won't be satisfied until the MDP says the paperwork has been filed and he's officially out. He's up to something. Color me suspicious.

Mourners gather on the day of the burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on February 28 in Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, in Mashhad, Iran, July 9, 2026. REUTERS.

NEWS: Trump closed the WH to press for the day and keeps escalating the war. Plus: the White House attacked our own team this week and it backfired spectacularly, the truth about U.S. oil reserves, and more. Your midday update is here.

Another "Freedom Fuel" victory lap, another Google Street View receipt. The White House touted $3.47/gallon at a Philly station as proof Trump's lowering gas prices, but the same station was selling gas for $3.05 back in April 2025. They're celebrating a price hike.

I’m not buying these alleged Mitch McConell phone calls with GOP colleagues. The GOP has zero credibility. We need a picture of McConnell holding up a copy of today’s newspaper.

If you’ve been wondering why DSA and other far-left candidates keep talking up “working class” talking points to win elections, but end up winning in gentrified communities, this is why. STRATEGISTS: Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan.

The difference between being welcomed as a leader and tolerated as a liability.

Non-consensual sexual intercourse is rape. I know that, and we raised our son to know that. Consent isn’t optional.

We need to be clear on something here. Platner has “suspended” his campaign & says he’ll file the paperwork to formally withdraw from the ballot by Monday, the legal deadline. He’s proven himself untrustworthy. That paperwork could have been filed yesterday but certainly by EOD today. Let’s see.

If you haven’t heard of Devon Murphy-Anderson, you will. She’s the exec director of the Maine Democratic Party, and quickly becoming one of the most influential Democratic operatives in the country. She makes one thing clear: 📌 The mission is bigger than any one candidate.

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

Former NFL star Ryan Fitzpatrick confirmed Taylor Swift walked down the aisle to “Love Story” at her wedding! “Yes, and I may have cried. It was very emotional and also fun and funny too. It had all the feels.”

Travis Kelce on the New Heights podcast episode with Taylor Swift: “Starting it with Taylor, pretty epic. And during that recording the entire time I’m planning, like, I’m going to ask this woman to marry me after this.”

This is disturbing AF! As a Black man, a father, a husband, and an ally, I’m telling you this: Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan should never be trusted again. The next time they roll out a candidate, run the other way.

BREAKING: Maine Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner announced he is suspending campaign operations, while denying recent allegations against him as "false" and arguing political pressure—not the allegations themselves—made it impossible for his campaign to continue.

Logger and former president of the Maine senate Troy Jackson has announced he's entering the race for the U.S. Senate

Iran Speaker of Parliament Ghalibaf:

BREAKING: Our grassroots campaign raised $30 million since April. Over 780,000 individuals have donated to this movement. We’re uniting Texans onto one team to take on this broken, corrupt political system.

The red flags weren’t hidden. They were public. The timeline isn’t about one bad decision. It’s about how warning after warning was ignored until it became politically impossible to look away.
