Collins is a snake. She wants you to think she's on your side then she bites you. She is the reason why women are dying from miscarriages. If it votes like a MAGA, it’s a MAGA. #DemsUnited

Donald Trump cares so little about bringing down YOUR housing costs that he’s refusing to sign the biggest housing bill in 30 years.

The good news: it’s going to become law anyway.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

All the signals are flashing red, the latest being @POTUS's summary dismissal of the remaining Federal Election Assistance Commission members.
Put that together with political hack Pulte's odious appt as DNI; election deniers in the most sensitive oversight positions; Trump's exec order on mail-in voting, and potential use of the Postal Service as a weapon of subversion; his pathological prioritization of the SAVE act, which would be the most powerful voter suppression tool in generations; and his persistent, unfounded claims of election fraud, which he uses to justify extraordinary federal interventions.
On the square, the @GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump's unpopularity.
So he's setting up Plan B--do whatever you need to do to win. Anything.
Anyone who says "Well, he wouldn't do THAT" hasn't paid attention. He's already proven he will!
So the period AFTER the Midterms may be even more turbulent than the run up to them.
The courts are going to be very busy this fall.

Trump’s DOJ monitoring elections is like a fox monitoring a henhouse.

We cannot allow our right to vote to be undermined by political interference. Every state must administer their elections free from unlawful federal intrusion.

FREYA. This is our Ukrainian anti-ballistic system. This project is an anti-ballistic system that should be an analogue of Patriot in terms of intercepting ballistic targets, but one that is easier to mass-produce and less expensive. This is a European model.

Our first meeting on this topic will take place in France, and it will happen in the near future. Our task was to bring together leaders, companies, and national security advisors – and to present the relevant project to countries that can help Ukraine implement it very quickly. If the leaders, their production capacities, and their companies support FREYA, then FREYA will come to life very soon.

Patriots are number one. We are grateful to the United States and to the Europeans who have helped us with these systems. There is SAMP/T NG – the new generation of French systems. Is it an analogue of Patriot? Yes. And we very much hope that, thanks to our agreements with France, we will receive the corresponding systems.

But with both Patriots and SAMP/T, it is a matter of time. Production is very limited, and the waiting lists are very long. That is why we have started building our own European project called FREYA. I very much count on the success of this project.

Should a country that kills athletes be allowed to participate in international athletic competitions? My vote is no.

Republicans would rather make it harder to vote than easier to afford a home.

Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead. The journalist who broke his cardiac arrest is at the hospital waiting for them to move his body. Her name is Desirée Townsend.
She's the independent reporter who obtained the EMS scanner audio confirming paramedics performed CPR at McConnell's D.C. home on June 14. NBC and CBS spent a week catching up to her.
Yesterday she tweeted that she's physically at the hospital, that multiple sources have told her the 84-year-old senator has been declared brain dead, and that his Capitol Police detail was still there as of 3:39pm ET.
Laura Loomer posted the same claim, citing a White House source. McConnell's office will not confirm or deny. They insist he is "continuing to improve."
The brain-death claim is not yet verified. Here's what is.
McConnell has been hospitalized for three straight weeks with no public explanation.
His office has never said why he was admitted. His last vote was June 11.
His wife Elaine Chao was photographed in Beijing meeting the Chinese vice president three days after her husband collapsed. She has not come home.
His daughter deactivated her X account.
Neighbors of his D.C. townhouse say no one has come or gone since the ambulance took him away. Not family. Not staff.
Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear says McConnell's office is not returning his calls.
Now the politics.
Kentucky Republicans quietly rewrote the state's succession law in 2024. If McConnell's seat opens, Beshear cannot appoint a replacement. A special election gets triggered instead.
And the timing matters. If he can't finish his term after August 3, the special election just rolls into November. Before August 3, the GOP has to hold a standalone race.
They’re watching the calendar.
The election they're trying to avoid is the GOP's nightmare. Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman who has become one of Trump's loudest critics, would be a heavy favorite to run and split the red vote wide open.
Every day they hide McConnell's condition is a day they don't have to hold that race.
Whatever is actually happening in that hospital room, this is the picture from outside it: a senator who has not been seen in three weeks, a wife who left the country, a family that has gone dark, a governor being frozen out, and a party racing the clock on a succession law they wrote themselves.
Townsend is still at the hospital.

[Barb Byrum @BarbByrum]

The three remaining @EACgov Commissioners were relieved of their positions by the White House today. In case you're wondering how a federal takeover of elections would start. Something like this.
This action is essentially a declaration of war on our democracy.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Kash Patel’s FBI is reassigning hundreds of analysts to investigate kooky conspiracy theories about the 2020 election… when they should be focused on fighting serious crimes. How does that make us safer?

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

Trump thinks he found a “back door” to rig the elections.

And it’s going to fail — because his ass will get beat in court, again.

Three Florida Republicans were just charged with creating a fake voter guide to steal an election.

They did not hack the machines. They did not stuff the ballot box. They printed a fake Republican voter guide, made it look nearly identical to the real one, and mailed it to tens of thousands of voters before a 2024 primary.

It worked. An incumbent won by fewer than 1,000 votes. Now three elected officials in St. Johns County, Florida are facing criminal charges for it.

@AliReininger I would definitely think so! (The assumption is there is some common source for outbreaks like this- and with so many cases, it would seem like a large supplier. Would really be helpful if DOGE/HHS hadn’t cut the unit who investigates such outbreaks!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Right now, we have a window of opportunity. Ukraine has become stronger both on the battlefield and in the skies. Everyone sees these results made possible thanks to our warriors in the first place. I am very grateful to them.

Putin – whether he knows this or not – is certainly receiving information and understands that right now he has no advantage. He has ballistic missiles; there are indeed absolutely tragic and horrific strikes against the civilian population of our state, but this is the only advantage he has left. There is nothing else. And everyone sees this.

We spoke with President Trump, and I also met with many different leaders during the summit. Even with leaders of countries with whom I had not had a meeting before. They all note one thing: Ukraine has become stronger.

Looking for any updates… has anyone gone to jail yet from the Epstein files release? Are their still millions hidden?

[Harry Litman @harrylitman]

A lawyer has now spoken separately to the 3 men who were w/ Salgado Araujo in the van when he was killed. All 3 contradict ICE's account. All 3 say no ICE vehicle was ever in front of them and that agent just got out of the car and started shooting from the side. No ICE agent was wearing a body cam.

It is not a crime in America to touch the Reflecting Pool

People have been doing it for decades

If Davey Hearn can be charged for that…any American can be charged for anything

We @DDFund_ & WLG are not going to stand for it
