This month’s prayer intention is that sports may be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations. May sports promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth. Take a moment. Let us #PrayTogether, at https://t.co/S3TtsnB6oT

Americans can all agree there is a housing crisis.

A crisis of affordability and availability.

Today I was proud to vote for the ROAD to Housing Act to help address both of these issues for the American people.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Congress has never before held private equity accountable — for anything.

Today, that changes.

[Missouri Democrats 🇺🇸 @MoDemParty]

DAY 14 OF 55: If Amendment 5 passes, Missouri politicians will be able to raise or add taxes on every good or service in your life. You're not getting a tax cut — you're getting taxed to death through a thousand tiny paper cuts.

Vote NO on Amendment 5 on Tuesday, August 4th.

Donald Trump and DOJ have had a rough few days -- losing big cases in his effort to rig the 2026 election. My team is preventing him from gaining access to sensitive state voter dats while Democracy Forward is blocking his misuse of federal databases.

When we fight we win!

Who else agrees Joe Biden was, without a doubt, a better president than Trump could ever be? #RepublicansStarveChildren

Y'all know this, right?

JUST IN: Wes Moore has clinched the Democratic nomination to serve a second term as governor of Maryland.

Onward!

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.

Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Sen. @ossoff: We see a faithless President, self dealing while he depicts himself as Christ. While he depicts the Obamas as apes. While he plunges the nation recklessly into war, plunders our healthcare, and sends prices soaring. While people pay more than ever, he builds a monument to himself. While a cancer patient loses health coverage, he adorns his office in gold.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

FBI’s search for evidence of voter fraud is reminiscent of OJ Simpson’s quest to find “the real killer.” Both seem to be shamelessly transparent efforts to advance a ridiculously false narrative.

Rachel Maddow: “Right now the opposition to President Donald Trump is ascendent. Trump is flailing in ways that are obvious to everyone. He’s a laughingstock and his policies are failing and being abandoned and his supporters are fleeing”

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

We feared that Bill Pulte would do nothing but damage to our national security. And now that fear is realized, as he makes massive cuts to the counter-terrorism workforce.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Martin O'Malley @MartinOMalley]

Major breakthrough when a Democratic AND Republican Senator both come out in favor of scrapping the cap on taxable income to guarantee Social Security’s long-term ability to pay 100% of benefits earned.

🤣🤣🤣 Happy 250th.
