@mkraju Seems like an awkward time for Lindsey Graham to chair this committee. He needs money and campaign time if he doesn’t want to lose to Jamie Harrison. Isn’t Susan Collins on this committee as well?

[Rich Logis/Leaving MAGA 🇺🇸 @PerfectOurUnion]

4 years ago today, I was about to do something that, unbeknownst to me, would dramatically alter the trajectory of my life. I wrote a mea culpa, to renounce my support for Trump; my governor, Ron DeSantis; and the MAGA movement. With my hand on the mouse, and the arrow hovering the "publish" button, I felt, simultaneously, dread and exhilaration. In that moment, I harkened back to my time as a volunteer on the 2016 and 2020 campaigns; all the MAGA and KAG hats I owned; my aspirations as a MAGA pundit; how I had referred to Democrats as malignant communists and socialists, worse than the Nazis; my myriad hours consuming MAGA media; and my talks at Trump groups I sponsored and supported.

Most of all, I thought about my second family and my community in MAGA, and all the accompanying belonging, camaraderie, kinships and gatherings.

Months prior, on the day of the Uvalde, TX, school shooting, I had quietly left MAGA. But something continued to gnaw at me; I had always been unapologetically public in my support for Trump and MAGA, and I thought I needed to reciprocate that by publicly repudiating the lies, falsehoods, conspiracy theories and extremism of MAGA politics.

I pressed the "publish" button, not for attention, but for reasons of catharsis---to unequivocally turn the final page of the MAGA chapter of my life. I never thought that anyone would care; it turned out, however, that people did care. I received one desperate message after another from those with friends and family in MAGA, asking how they could extract their MAGA-identified close ones from the movement. Although I wasn't quite sure what, it was then that I knew I was on to something. Borne from this was Leaving MAGA.

Today is my Leaving MAGA-versary. For those of you in MAGA having doubts, for those of you who have left, and for those of you with friends and loved ones in MAGA, know that you are not alone. You have a new home and community with us here at Leaving MAGA.

When I left MAGA, I reclaimed my individuality, my agency and my empathy; leaving MAGA was good for my soul, my psyche and my mental health. I became a born-again human being.

The same awaits those who leave. Every day is a stellar day to leave MAGA.

That's a lot of words to say "I don't care if President Trump's tariffs drove costs up for Michiganders more than $5,600 -- more than in any other state in the entire country -- elect me and I'll gladly let him keep doing it."

Kelly: He is known to be a prolific liar to the American people. And I gotta say, it seems to be spreading, and I really worry about that.

I’m not saying these things are lies—but the way some members of the military have been presenting this thing has been a little disingenuous, talking about how we’re executing this naval blockade perfectly without acknowledging the fact that the Iranians have shut down the strait and there’s little to no trade going through, and that’s jacking up the prices for the American people significantly.

So Americans are suffering. If you’re the president or his family or billionaires, you’re doing really well in this economy. But everybody else has been presented with a shit sandwich

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

How does this work MAGA? Trump’s ‘America First’ gave Argentina $40 billion in taxpayer money while screwing American farmers once again by importing beef from a foreign country (will not disclose the country) to give you cheaper ‘mystery meat’ that won’t be inspected? 🙄

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Serious question to every mainstream news network and newspaper in this country: how can you justify crazy obsessive coverage of Hasan Piker and just totally ignore much worse stuff like this from an actual presidential adviser?

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: This issue of healthcare is so personal to me. When I was a perfectly healthy 28-year-old running for the Texas House, I got diagnosed with a shocking illness.

I was a Democrat running in a Trump district, and so I had to do things a little differently, and at one point I decided to walk the entire length of my district — 25 miles — in the Texas heat.

About halfway through, I started to feel fatigued and nauseous. I ended up throwing up a few times along the walk.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I went to Walgreens to pick up my first 30-day supply of insulin — it cost me $684. I didn't have that kind of money, so I put it on a credit card, and I soon learned that Texans with diabetes across the state were rationing or skipping doses. Some of them were dying because of it.

And so when I won that seat, I brought Democrats and Republicans together to take on Big Pharma, and we capped insulin copays in Texas at $25 per prescription.

Trump: "Canadian businesses are pouring into the United States. We want to make our own cars, etc. That’s what’s going to happen. Canada has been ripping us off for years — NO LONGER! President DJT"

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

"Trump is big into renaming things. Maybe his party can rename itself the 'Trump Party,' leaving the name 'Republican' available for a new party, reflecting the spirit of Lincoln and Reagan?"

Do it at Trump's "midterm convention" in Dallas Sep. 9-10.

One year ago today, Martha Ann’s family finally received answers after more than five decades. Martha Ann was one of the victims of SC serial killer Pee Wee Gaskins.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who agrees that it is INSANE, with trump's disastrous policies, abysmal decisions, Iran War, high prices, corruption... Democrats are doing the circular firing squad. AGAIN.

PLEASE CUT THE F*CKING SHIT.
WE HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN!

FOCUS.

Dolly Parton, who died at 80, had a vast discography where she established herself as hardscrabble, emotionally forthright and full of intuition.

Here are six of the infectious classics that Parton was behind, followed by a playlist of more gems: https://t.co/LXQBeXgQcX

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

⚠️ Leaked audio reveals GOP candidates in multiple states have suggested sending law enforcement to the polls in November.

Trump himself has refused to rule out sending troops to the polls. But federal law almost always forbids federal troops and armed agents from polling sites: https://t.co/fElCkP2ceH

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump wants the federal government to go after media companies because his poll numbers are terrible in every single poll because he’s a terrible, corrupt president who got us in another stupid war.

Dr. Annie Andrews is calling out Darline Graham!

It’s been weeks since Annie challenged her to a debate, and still nothing.

So Annie launched https://t.co/4mtLpEM2Oz to track every day Darline refuses to face her opponent and South Carolina voters.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Trump is skipping Ground Zero for the Pentagon partly because leaving from Joint Base Andrews for his Ireland golf trip the next day beats the traffic from JFK or Newark. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, that is apparently part of the calculation.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Trump is panicking and live ranting from the Oval Office at Dr. Annie Andrews.

He's trying to save an imploding campaign of a candidate whose only qualification is her last name, while a pediatrician with a life-saving resume is flipping the script in South Carolina.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Trump is ramping up the attacks and calling her "radical," but Dr. Annie Andrews has a few questions:

"What's so radical about thinking that when you're sick, you should be able to afford healthcare?

What's so radical about thinking that every county in SC should have an OBGYN?

What's so radical about thinking that if your community doesn't want a data center, there shouldn't be one built there?

What's so radical about believing every working South Carolina family should be able to afford food and keep the lights on?

In my opinion, Darlene Graham is the radical."

Damn. Mic drop. 🎤

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

An Uber driver shared with a staff member of mine how after Trump’s healthcare cuts, his monthly premiums increased 400%.

His copay went from $1 to up to $90 for each of his medicines.

It’s not just this Uber driver. It’s happening all over America.

We need Medicare for All.
