@GavinNewsom is on fire 🔥 @RobSandIA Iowa needs to do this and get rid of provisional ballots.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Trump says voter fraud should land people in prison.

Agreed. And let's start with the politicians spreading election lies with the goal of illegally interfering with counting ballots.

In California, I just signed a law making that punishable with up to 3 years behind bars.

More to come. FAFO, Donald.

This whole scene is so fucking gross. Shame on every single journalist who participated in this shit.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

The idiot who runs our country says this but doesn’t have the courage or evidence to come after me. This should tell you how low IQ he is. Trump is who needs to get the hell out of our country because he is destroying it and making us the laughing stock of the world.

[Progressive Caucus @USProgressives]

Trump "is killing Americans... by taking away their healthcare." @RepAOC

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Trump’s tariffs keep changing. But what doesn’t change is who pays for the chaos: Americans, every time they check out at the grocery store.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Kansas Republicans killed the three extra days for mailed ballots to arrive.

Judge Carl Folsom just put them back — weeks before the primary.

Thousands of votes that would've been trashed will count now. 👇

🚨 AOC introduces bill to allow victims of AI deepfake porn to sue their abusers.

Republicans are now blocking the bill.

Trump has squandered at least $35B and 18 servicemembers' lives on his disastrous Iran War.

Now, 100 days before the midterms, the fallout is only getting worse.

BREAKING NYT:

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states "based solely" on whether they backed Trump in the 2024 election.

A veteran whom Alex Pretti cared for:

"It was heartbreaking to know when I found out it was him...What was worse was listening to Kristi Noem talk about him."

Liz Cheney is standing by a warning she first made years ago.

In 2022: “There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

Now: “Long after he’s dead and gone, those who propped him up will be held to account. For now, we wait.”

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

Republicans attached the SAVE Act to a congressional stock trading ban, knowing it will make passage impossible in the Senate.

This is why Americans hate politics.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Holy crap!

Democrats are now projected to win in Maine by the largest margin in weeks after the democratic primary.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Trump is the most divisive President in American history.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids' docket. These kids are expected to represent themselves in court.

To expect a child, clutching a stuffed animal, to argue against a seasoned attorney is ridiculous. We can and should be providing children with legal counsel.

🚨 Trump has now eliminated union rights for over 1 million workers, stripping them of bargaining power.

Trump ran on Making Unions Great Again.

[Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum]

He’s had ten fucking years to come up with a healthcare plan, and all he’s done is take healthcare away from millions of Americans, while fighting tooth and nail to take it away from more people.

BREAKING: “YOU FIND THE VOTES!” Republican Senate leader John Thune fires back at Trump over his complaints they can’t pass his election-steal bill.

A full-blown Republican civil war burst into the open after the White House publicly attacked Senate Majority Leader John Thune over President Donald Trump's stalled voter suppression bill, only to have Republican senators line up behind their leader and admit Trump's top legislative priority will never have the votes to pass.

The extraordinary public feud erupted after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned reporters that Trump's "patience is running out" with Thune over the Senate's failure to advance the SAVE America Act, a voting measure Trump has demanded Congress pass before the August recess.

Thune didn't hide his irritation with KKKaroline.

"She or somebody else ought to get on the phone and get the votes, right?" Thune shot back. "So instead of pointing the finger at Republicans, they might think about going after the people who are stopping it on the floor, which is the Democrats. And if there are Republicans that they think are gettable, get on the phone. Let's get them to 'yes.'"

But the real shock came when Republican senators openly contradicted the White House and acknowledged that Trump's demands simply aren't possible.

"We just don't have the votes, and so there's nothing that Senator Thune can do to change that," Sen. John Cornyn said. "This idea that he can just command members of the Republican Conference to get in line is just a fantasy."

Cornyn warned that someone had badly misled Trump about the bill's prospects.

"I don't know who it was that sold the president on this idea that this was attainable, but it's creating a circular firing squad for Republicans," he said.

"Here we are, what, 103 days before the midterm elections, and this is not a great place for us to be."

Other Republican senators echoed the same message, making clear that Trump's pressure campaign cannot overcome the basic math in the Senate.

"Everybody wants to talk about 60 votes. We don't have 51 votes," Sen. John Hoeven said.

Sen. John Kennedy defended Thune while delivering one of the day's most memorable lines. "John's doing the best he can, but John can't put a gun to people's heads and make them vote a particular way. When you're [the] majority leader, you take a lot of the spears and the arrows. That's his job."

Even Sen. Rick Scott, one of the SAVE America Act's biggest supporters and a frequent critic of Thune, acknowledged the difficult position both men find themselves in. "It's hard being leader," Scott said of Thune. "I'm sure if I was the president of the United States, I'd be frustrated if everything I wanted didn't get done."

The increasingly public clash comes after Trump has spent months demanding action on the SAVE America Act, a proposal that would require proof of citizenship for voter registration, stricter voter identification requirements and major new restrictions on mail voting.

For months, Trump has insisted Republicans simply need to "get it done." Now his own party is publicly admitting that's fantasy.

The votes don't exist, the White House can't bully them into existence, and Trump's latest pressure campaign has accomplished something he never intended: exposing a growing Republican schism for everyone to see.

Reality doesn’t care about political talking points.

This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. It’s climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse.

🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives as out-of-control wildfires tear through parts of France and Spain.
