We now have an updated flyover schedule for the Fourth of July.

That was not the definition of a red card.

A Republican-led Congress has cleared the way for Trump's disastrous policies—costing American families an additional $2,072 in gas, utility, and tariff costs.

This was entirely avoidable. Learn more from our friends at @CAPAction: https://t.co/tzxUqMGoD5

An administration against windmills because the president says they kill birds is pouring hydrogen peroxide into a home for ducks and geese.

Now, when this democratic socialist Janeese Lewis tries to do things in DC like democratic socialist Mayor Mamdani is doing in new York and is blocked by Congress and the president, you’ll see why Washington, DC needs statehood.

[JustBreathe @stargazing90]

Everyone okay with that? They took money from every pay check ever had and spent it somewhere else..pissed yet?

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.

He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.

He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.

He was impeached by his own party for corruption.

Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.

Together we will stop him.

When the boomers are gone do y’all want to make 4 day workweeks / 3 day weekends permanent?

@_sn_n @micah_erfan It’s not though. It doesn’t touch Citizens United because it uses state corporate law, not campaign finance.

[Texas Democratic Party @texasdemocrats]

Meet the 2026 Texas Democrats lineup, featuring a candidate in every state and federal race across the state.

[Stephen Caruso @StephenJ_Caruso]

In honor of campaign finance reports this week: What's your birthday super PAC name?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Please forgive me for cursing but

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING MEDIA?????

He ignored warnings and they are now dead???? After what they put Hillary through for less??? Shameful.

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

🚨 HAWAII UPDATE: The state is one step away from sending S.B. 2471 to Gov. Green’s desk for signing into law and becoming the first state to effectively make Citizens United irrelevant.

Montana’s Supreme Court has also made a ruling reaffirming the merits of these bold legal strategies to get dark money out of politics.

Follow and stay tuned for more.

Pay attention to Hawaii right now. It’s on the brink of being the first real test to Citizens United https://t.co/POTP9nfGbr

And there you have it, folks.

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

At a time when many Americans are already experiencing tighter budgets, Trump's reckless war in Iran has increased prices at the pump—with no relief in sight. https://t.co/F3jLp2tTx2

[The States Forum @thestatesforum]

In our current climate, it feels like there's no way to fix Citizens United without a constitutional amendment or a new Supreme Court. But what if states already have the answer, and they've just forgotten that they have it?

[Jarrett Keohokalole @Jarrettforhi]

Good government starts with fair, transparent elections. That’s why I co-introduced SB 2471 with Sen. Rhoads. Corporations are creations of the state, and it’s time we ensure they don't have a blank check to buy influence in our democracy.
