All our efforts helped deliver an extraordinary result yesterday. Now it’s time to turn these victories into the foundation for lasting and needed change.

Today’s first time voter was: 
- Born in 2008 
- 8 years old when Trump was first elected 
- In middle school when Covid hit

I’ve been to dozens of communities across America this year, and everywhere I go, people tell me the same thing: they’re sick of how this country is being run and tired of what that has meant for their lives. Tomorrow is our chance to fix that.

Find a few friends, grab a coffee, and knock some doors! Many ways to get involved here: https://t.co/P8lJkSo4wE

Just last week, I spoke with a voter who thought Mike Rogers was the current Senator from Michigan and another who "hadn't really heard much about the race" and hadn't formed an opinion yet. This is why logging off and knocking doors or talking to your neighbors is more helpful than doomscrolling.

On days like today, fellow Michiganders are watching the Lions game, checking the crockpot, sorting their kids' candy, tackling the Sunday chores and grocery shopping, or taking advantage of the warm weather to get the garage ready for winter. They're not glued to political drama on Twitter. If you can, please schedule a volunteer shift so you can talk to them! Or, make a plan to talk to a fellow parent at drop-off, a coworker at lunch, or that relative of yours who asks if blatant AI slop is real. Every vote counts! If we're going to tackle healthcare, corruption, and the cost of living, we all have to do our part. Deep breaths. Let's get to work.

And, of course, please make a plan at https://t.co/QXJffDoBL0

We're all paying the price after Republicans increased the cost of living - look no further than an order at Waffle House.

Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago.

Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. https://t.co/ukLkim9qCP

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail.

“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

Buttigieg: “Drain the swamp.” I am rarely in Washington these days, but as chance would have it, I was there yesterday. Went out for a run on the National Mall and couldn’t help but think that the only thing he’s actually managed to drain is that Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

So forgive us if we don’t believe him when he says he’s going to give everybody $5,000, but only after the election and only if they win.

You know, if Republicans really want to give everybody a few thousand dollars, they would have done it this week instead of going home for two months in the middle of multiple national crises.

Buttigieg: "I was shocked to hear Speaker Johnson just now saying 'we shouldn't be rushing, shouldn't be moving too quickly on this.' You know what is moving quickly? AI. For Congress to sit on its hands is something that is deeply dangerous it to the American people ... what have they been doing this entire time?"

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Pete Buttigieg: “This is not just about going back to what we used to have. If November goes well, there’s gonna be a temptation in the Democratic Party to say great, we won, now we’re gonna go back to what we were doing before. It can’t be like that. We’ve gotta be ready to move forward including with big reforms. Of course we talk about the kitchen table. We also talk about a political system that keeps kicking the legs out from under the kitchen table”

#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion became known as #Juneteenth, a combination of “June” & “19th." More: https://t.co/bitoMm27sm

Today I learned that in addition to wanting to buy Greenland, Trump wanted to sell or give away Puerto Rico (via the @NewYorker)
