The GOP tells you that the guy who falls asleep daily on live tv and hid in a catering cart after an Iranian assassination threat is making USA look more powerful on the world stage. All while raising prices on everything and weakening our economy. Wake up, this isn't winning.

Just a reminder that Donald Trump is unparalleled in his failures.

On August 8, 1974, Nixon resigned, due in part to information uncovered by a Justice Department investigation, and under pressure from congressional Republicans

On August 8, 2026, Todd Blanche was confirmed by Senate Republicans, ensuring DOJ will never investigate Pres. Trump.

With its Statute for Religious Freedom, Virginia wrote the freedom of worship directly into the DNA of democracy. This nation protects our right to believe freely, without compulsion or litmus tests. No small-minded politician can turn faith into a question of American identity.

Many of the critics of higher education are crackpots, but that doesn't mean that the problems in academia aren't real. This story by @danengber is brutal:

Today marks the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. Signed into law on August 6, 1965, it outlawed literacy tests, poll taxes in federal elections, and other obstacles to voting. The Act led to dramatic increases in Black voter registration.

Local man suggests jailing own boss.

I will die on this hill:
Presidents and Vice Presidents shitposting online degrades the dignity & decorum of their office. We want to see them above the fray, running the govt. solving problems, and meeting with political leaders - not lazily shitposting like your cousin Jed.

[Taylor Giorno @taylorgiorno_]

Several corporate lobbying giants that are listed as sponsors of Freedom 250 failed to disclose donations to the President Trump-backed group, a potential violation of federal lobbying law.

[Adam Hamilton @Hamilton4Kansas]

Everywhere I go, I’m told Roger Marshall isn't listening.

People who voted for him before have said “not again.”

People ask how a Senator who lives in Florida when he’s not in Washington can know his people, or speak up for their needs.

I think it’s a good question.

[Adam Hamilton @Hamilton4Kansas]

Roger Marshall is a yes man for the President. We don’t need a yes man in Washington.

We need a Senator who speaks up for their people; one who listens, tells the truth, and has one guiding principle: Do what is right for Kansas, regardless of what your party or President ask.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

HUGE: Adam Hamilton has won the Kansas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

Onward to November!

[James Walkinshaw @JamesWalkinshaw]

Tonight, Virginia Democrats nominated four fighters to flip four districts: @ShannonTaylorVA (VA-01), @ElaineLuria (VA-02), @TomPerriello (VA-05), and Joy Powers (VA-09).

Republicans in Congress have spent this term rubber-stamping Trump’s agenda instead of standing up for the people they represent.

Now Virginians get to hold them accountable.

The road to a Democratic House runs through Virginia. Let’s get to work.
