Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

What even is GOP’s sales pitch for the midterms? Inflation - up Gas prices - way up War in Ukraine - still going War in Iran - still going Houthis - out of control Beef prices - record highs Public health - people are dying from the fucking measles No wins to speak of.

This is disgusting, but not unexpected. The Trump administration is putting their thumb on the scales for Putin, despite the fact that it’s Russia violating the energy ceasefire.

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

Tapper: What is your husband saying about conditions on the ship? Wife of Service Member Aboard USS Lincoln: My husband is appalled at the conditions on this ship. This is not his first deployment. And he is saying that it is the worst deployment that he's ever been on. His shipmates say the same.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

The Trump Administration has refunded $100 billion in tariffs. But the money isn’t going to American consumers who paid higher prices. It’s going to big corporations. That’s wrong.

The LA Dodgers gifted a personalized jersey & commemorative World Series ring to a five-time draft dodger and two-time fake president who just happens to be withholding $34 billion in California fire relief funds and $2.16 billion in California Medicaid funding. The Dodgers can go fuck themselves.
