Of course they did. 🤬

Had the Biden Admin only made sure the Chips Act and other infrastructure projects helped blue states, what would the reaction have been in the courts or politically? In fact, the Biden admin seemed to go out of its way to make sure the red states got MORE than their fair share of spoils on the Chips Act in particular.

Newly unearthed court documents reveal the Trump admin canceled $7.5B in federal funding to clean energy products "based solely" on if states voted for Trump in 2024.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

The Department of Energy admitted in court it cancelled hundreds of grants "based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient's state," and NOT "based on any programmatic, statutory, cost-reduction, or performance-based factor."

This proves the White House lied.

Congress is not serious.

We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…

BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.

Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,

but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.

Maine Senator @SenAngusKing: There is a serious threat to our elections in 2026 — and to democracy itself — but it’s not the Chinese, Venezuela, noncitizens voting or mail-in ballots. It’s Donald J. Trump. https://t.co/8kS23oERXX

🚨HUGE: Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats are launching the BIGGEST voter protection effort in American history ahead of November.

“We believe that it’s the American people who should decide who gets to represent them in Congress, not Donald Trump and MAGA extremists.” Perfect.

James Carville is Beshear's campaign manager. He's telling him to not move on the McConnell seat thing bc it might get messy and he may lose some future votes.
I got news for Mr. Carville, Beshear's going to lose many more votes doing nothing.
The "doing nothing" option is gone today.

[Jarl Finland @jalle51]

This isn't a drill. Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb just dropped a massive warning on PBS: Donald Trump is actively laying the groundwork to declare a national emergency to manipulate the upcoming midterm elections.

According to Cobb, the plan being cooked up by Trump’s inner circle (including Steve Bannon) involves weaponizing emergency powers to stop a Democratic takeover at all costs:

Voter Intimidation: Deploying the National Guard or ICE agents to polling stations, specifically targeting and chilling minority voter turnout.

Seizing Voting Machines: Reviving the failed 2020 plot to confiscate election infrastructure under the guise of an "emergency crisis."

Trump's tyrannical demands to strip ABC and NBC of their broadcast licenses for skipping his speech weren't just a random tantrum—they are part of a calculated narrative to convince his base that a massive plot is underway. When Trump’s own elite White House lawyers tell you he is preparing to bypass the constitution, believe them. 🇺🇸⚠️ #Trump #USPolitics #Midterms2026 #NationalEmergency #Democracy

Tonight at SPAC, Dave Matthews stood center stage, voice full of fire, and spoke the truth we’re all carrying in our hearts: “I am sick of this fucking President.”

He called out the ongoing ICE killings, the cruelty, the heartbreak no one can ignore anymore.

The whole amphitheater rose up with him — singing, shouting, fists in the air — a sea of real people united in exhaustion and hope.

This is what love for humanity sounds like.

We see you, Dave. We feel this. America is done.

Share this if your soul is screaming the same thing. ❤️‍🔥

“Lindsey Graham’s sudden death on Saturday, combined with Mitch McConnell’s month-long absence, leaves Trump’s party with a functional 51-to-47 majority and a committee math problem it cannot solve.

Per the Washington Post, Republicans now hold just 13 seats on the Appropriations Committee against 14 Democrats.

Trump cannot move a single spending bill through committee if Democrats hold together.

Everything Trump wanted from this Senate is now in jeopardy. The Budget Committee that Graham chaired is deadlocked along party lines, which stalls the reconciliation bill Trump wants to ram through with $350 billion in new defense spending.

His attorney general pick, Todd Blanche, just got harder to confirm. His $87.6 billion Pentagon funding request needs a committee where Democrats now have the votes. And the government runs out of money September 30.

Democrats have refused to rubber-stamp the GOP’s defense spending increases without matching investments in domestic programs. For the first time in this Congress, they have the numbers to make that refusal stick.

Every spending fight for the next two months now runs through Democratic votes. That means real leverage over what gets funded: your health care, your schools, your communities. Use it or lose it.”

[citygirl 🇺🇸 @HelloDearVoid]

When a Dem candidate is credibly accused of r@pe (or less. See: Al Franken) Democrats tell the candidate to step down

When a Repub candidate is credibly accused of r@pe, republicans put him on the Supreme Court or elect him president

We are not the same. (Family values indeed.)

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

THIS SHOULD ALARM EVERYONE

Trump’s DOJ is sending election monitors to Detroit, Lansing, and East Lansing for Michigan’s August 4 primary.

This is how doubt gets manufactured. This is how confidence in free and fair elections gets chipped away.

The real target isn’t just the election. It’s public trust in blue cities.

MacFarlane: What's alleged here by Democrats on the House natural resources committee, Pamela, is that there was a hostile takeover by Freedom 250 of the congressionally approved America 250. Freedom 250 is Trump aligned. And what they're alleging is that Freedom 250 was trying to urge or nudge America 250 to shift the programing toward Trump. That. didn't happen so they took it over…

Jack Smith on MS NOW: "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."

"I think the state attorney generals have a tremendous role to play here. They can make sure the rule of law functions in their state. And I would also say that I think a thing that all of us can do is support election workers and election officials. The last time around, we saw that those people stood firm and they were, in many cases, the difference."

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

Nicolle Wallace: Is this the beginning of speaking out more regularly, more frequently? Will you come back?

Jack Smith: We'll see... I don't have an interest in being on TV to talk just so I can be on TV to talk. If there's a way that I feel like I can be helpful, I'm going to do it.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This is what humility, decency, and integrity looks like. If we fight like hell and are able to stop Trump's Nazification of America — Jack Smith is EXACTLY the kind of patriot we need as our next attorney general.
