Trump slashed 30% of the CDC’s workforce, weakening our ability to detect outbreaks, fight disease and protect American lives.   You can't make America healthy again by firing the people who protect our public health.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

In Arizona, a Democratic congressional candidate, Bernadette Greene-Placentia, says she was raped while trying to repair campaign signs this summer.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

As Trump makes yet another soon-to-be-broken promise to put money in people's pockets, don't forget how much he's stuffing into his own.

The “rate is still more than 90 percent in that sample”. We have always hoped that this disease might be rare, but I think this is that final nail in the coffin to say, no, this is absolutely not a rare disease in the NFL population

Well said Governor Shapiro. We need to trust scientists and public health professionals.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

How sad. Patriot missiles save lives.

The wider Kyiv area was also badly hit overnight. Many warehouses were destroyed, but also 14 private houses, some of which can be seen here in Boryspil. One person was killed and 8 injured in the region. In this clip, look at the size of the crater left by the missile.

WHAT THE HELL ARE WE TEACHING OUR KIDS? Canada is our neighbor. Our friend. One of our closest allies. And the President of the United States treats them like an enemy — threatening them, insulting them and now threatening 50% tariffs. This is not how you treat your friends.

Wow! Why is one political party hell bent on taking our eights away?

Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov

Minnesota will stand as a firewall against any and all attacks on reproductive freedom. We were the first state to establish an ironclad right to abortion after the Dobbs decision and we will remain an island of freedom for those seeking to make their own healthcare decisions.

The US government granted a permit to build a 211-mile road through Alaskan wilderness. In exchange, it gets a stake in a mining company. This is how the Trump administration is re-writing the rules of business. Read more: bloom.bg/3RBNlHv 📷: Emily Sullivan for Bloomberg Businessweek

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

The satellite that watches the eastern United States for storms went blind for 20 hours in July. NOAA cannot yet say why. Its backup sits weeks away from taking over. This is what a warning system looks like after the people who ran it were cut and its research arm marked for the axe.
