If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

Aligns with my 2 points from last week 1. If polls are wrong, they'll probably be wrong in Democrats' direction 2. If polls are right Republicans could still retain the Senate majority because they're really close in a lot of states

⚡️Zelenskyy: "I'm against any lifting of sanctions. I've always said this to European partners, and I've said it directly to the American administration. I know that if you give something to Putin, he will want everything."

Prices are through the roof! Corruption is out of control! That's not unrelated, in fact it's connected! #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime Meanwhile Trump & Republicans are telling us everything is great & perfectly affordable.😵‍💫 Meanwhile, Trump's kids are getting $6 billion in government contracts! $6B!

Electricity bills went up the same week crypto executives visited the White House. Data Center much? Coincidence is a strong word. So is corruption. Vote early. #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime

…control of Starlink must, be taken away from Elon Musk. It’s a matter of national security: we cannot let private individuals make foreign and defense policy… paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

Beware!

An underrated reason why the Trump admin has struggled to use the powers of the state to more effectively suppress the opposition: many of the people in charge are genuinely pickled in right-wing fever dream conspiracies and it impedes their ability to develop reality-based repression strategies

That’s right, he’s trying to tip the scales towards russia. He is a traitor.

"This is spiraling for CBS. The audience is already fleeing," a former CBS News staffer told me. "This type of political stuff from an on-air reporter is only gonna speed up the audience's escape."

No Kings: Vote Early Get your ballots to the drop box, mail box or vote center as soon as possible. We need to be too big to rig.

I guess this is CBS “News” now.

Our goal can NOT just be winning the midterm. It must be destroying, prosecuting, purging and deporting MAGA from US soil. It's a cancer that must be eliminated to save the USA!

When Democrats win House, they must investigate Elon Musk and bar future government contracts! Musk is using $ he makes from taxpayer funded government contracts to fund the GOP. Dems must investigate his contracts, citizenship and more! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/when-democ...

How about the speed of Starlinks and Starshield? Is it back to normal??

Trump on Zelenskyy in Dublin “Zelenskyy has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia.He’s causing a shortage of diesel.” Trump is Putin‘s whore. He will go down in history as a traitor. Don’t believe that, then ask yourself ‘what would a Russian asset do differently?’

⚡️ BREAKING: Russian airspace will de facto be closed, Zelenskyy says. «Today we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, everyone who still uses key Russian airports: Russian skies are becoming completely unsafe.» 1/2

Homan: "So when that parent gets ordered deported by a federal judge -- our job is to deport -- we give the parent an option. That's parenting 101. 'Do you want to take the child with you, or leave them here with a vetted sponsor?'"

You know the assignment.

He didn’t change. They did.

The money quote is counterfeit. There's no record of El-Sayed saying that. Might be worth pointing this out, if you're amplifying the claim.

Some Republicans protect their colleagues who sexually abuse women and children, while others turn a blind eye to their colleagues who physically abuse them. It's a big tent.

You’re going to see real panic hit the GOP come Labor Day. That is also when I’ll release my race specific midterm forecast.

“Don’t provide young models to a convicted pedophile & sex trafficker” is a pretty decent rule of thumb if you don’t to be mentioned in local articles about sex trafficking, but what do I know?

Absolutely support your local indie bookstore. Bay Area folks: Reach and Teach has been a HUGE resource for pro-democracy, anti-Trump groups here. Their owners have regularly opened up their space for our events and actions, waiting patiently into the evenings after closing time. We love them!

State Sovereignty and Trump’s War Against the Constitution talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/state...

Trump’s speech was incoherent, poorly delivered, and pretty dangerous. It was an act of complete political malpractice that will only exacerbate his immense political problems. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trumps-spe...

78 House Democrats helped pass the CLARITY Act last year — our senators can’t make the same mistake. Demand that your senators oppose the toothless CLARITY Act and push for real crypto regulation instead.

Davey Hearn is a three-time Olympian who spent his life helping others Yesterday he pled not guilty & stood up for the rule of law Hundreds of supporters stood with him outside DC Superior Court Davey is an American hero—& he got the reception of one @cnn.com👇

Just as we all suspected, ICE's statement that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo attempted to "ram" ICE agents with his vehicle was a lie. Just like their statements about Renee Good and Alex Pretti were lies. We cannot trust the Trump regime to tell the truth.

The party of family values?

"The '13 centrist Democrats...' who announced their support for the "Promise to America", a political initiative...against the party's shift toward democratic socialism" need to educate their constituents that what Democrats support are policies that help people. Healthcare, housing, living wage.

Tough question for Tillis and Cornyn: Why does Trump want to torpedo everything over the SAVE act. Hmm...could it possibly be that he is desperately afraid of the democrats winning the midterms & gaining subpoena & investigative power 4 his crimes & corruption? talkingpointsmemo.com/news/tillis-...

Trump and the Swamp: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Trump is really afraid of us voters. He doesn't want us to organize; he doesn't want us to vote; he doesn't want us to win. He's in for a shock. No matter how much he tries to intimidate us with his FBI goons, we're not stopping. We're winning and he's losing. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/autoc...

Our democracy needs more leadership refuting the MAGA rant that our elections have been stolen if they don't win Every pro-democracy elected needs to take every opportunity to push back against the lie and to educate and ready their constituents for what MAGA will do when they lose in the midterms.

Republicans might be breaking ranks: Per Pence about his attempted murderers: “...it’s deeply offensive to me that you could have a fund that could even possibly compensate people who assaulted police officers or vandalized the Capitol on Jan. 6...I think that’s broadly held by most Republicans..".

So, in other words, Vladdy is getting a ballroom.

It's long past time we stopped sending Israel weapons to enable war crimes. Tonight's vote shows how fast the ground has shifted - and will continue to shift.
