Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

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

Trump on the Reflecting Pool: "It's the longest swimming pool in history. And it always leaked. And we had tremendous vandalism. And we had it pretty well, but we're gonna undo it anyway because we had to do the pipes. We wanted to get it done for July 4 temporarily."

Trump: "Collins could call me anytime he wants. 'You gotta help the farmers!' ... there's a big difference between that and Pee Wee Herman calling. 'Tell him I'm not in!' 'But he needs money for Georgia.' 'I don't give a damn what he wants!' Probably I shouldn't say that."

🔥 Rep. @aoc.bsky.social: “America First — it’s unconscionable that we spend trillions on war, not just funding atrocities in Gaza but across the world… yet when we want to fund health care, education they say ‘How will we afford it? We have no money.’ We have to FLIP THAT EQUATION.”

Q: Do you think it's right for the richest man in the world to have so much power over what goes on in a war because Russia and Ukraine? TRUMP: Well, I don't think he does. First of all, he's a very good person. He's not gonna do anything wrong. Elon will never do anything wrong.

The GOP should be quaking in their boots right now. 🌊

1) Netanyahu announces a lockdown (and Gaza-style ethnic cleansing in the West Bank) in response to what they claim was an attack on IDF troops (ahead of the elections) 2) says Iran is planning attacks to influence the elections against him. (Translation: he wants more war to try to save himself)

Haaretz reports Hegseth went to Israel, met with Netanyahu, and now we’re gonna strike Iran again... (Right before elections in both countries)🤔 How long are Republicans going to run cover for this destructive, deadly nonsense that is costing us all so much? @MarshaBlackburn

Just a periodic, friendly reminder that we could actually avoid all this by not caring who’s attracted to, who’s having sex with who, who’s marrying who, let alone believing any of it should matter in public policy. We could just all mind our own business and all have rights. ✨

Hamilton: "He just said the war in Iran is not the problem, the war in Ukraine is. The Ukrainians trying to defend themselves are why we have record diesel prices? Nobody believes that. This happened in response to the war in Iran. Roger Marshall supported that. I support the Ukrainians ... "

It absolutely is.
