I spent LBJ Day with his daughter, Luci Baines Johnson.
I’m running for her father’s Senate seat to continue LBJ’s fight for education, healthcare, and economic opportunity for all.
I’m honored to be in this fight with Luci. In November, we’re going to win back her dad’s seat.
-It is still Lake Ontario
-It is still the Gulf of Mexico
-It is still the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
-He is still a pedophile.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
BREAKING: We just won a temporary restraining order in our elections case.
That means the Postal Service can't force a new rule giving it the power to deny your ballot, just one week before ballots go out.
The court said the rule would cause "irreparable harm," was "practically impossible" to comply with, and likely unconstitutional.
It would have caused chaos in our election.
We stopped it for now, and we'll keep defending free and fair elections.
Republicans thought their gerrymandering scheme would save them from disaster in the midterms.
But we are battling back hard against the Texas dummymander.
Remember in November.
The @NCGOP aren’t just sleazy assholes, they’re lazy fucks as well.
Logan Federico was 22 years old, HER death occurred during a home invasion in Columbia, SOUTH CAROLINA, and her murderer was a career SOUTH CAROLINA criminal. Roy Cooper had as much involvement in Logan Federico’s murder as Donald Trump did in writing Jolene.
They’ll lie their asses off to try and discredit Roy Cooper because their candidate is the failed Hurricane Helene Recovery Czar and pedo-pal Michael Whatley who abandoned the people of Western North Carolina who are still struggling to survive because of his incompetence and who appointed a convicted child molester to a leadership position in the NCGOP.
Ossoff: "What did we learn this morning? Yet another connection between Rep. Mike Collins and white nationalism, between Collins and neo-Nazi ideology. One of the congressman's staffers posting swastikas online and depicting himself in the costume of the Ku Klux Klan. Disgraceful and disqualifying."
🚨For years, David Johnson — Ojai pastor, and self-appointed guardian of “traditional family values” — flooded his feed warning that “sick people” shouldn’t be “allowed to be around young impressionable minds.” He demanded “TOTAL EDUCATION REFORM,” raged about drag queens “grooming” kids, and called trans people a “steep slope” straight to societal collapse.
Now it’s Johnson, 58, sitting in Ventura County jail without bail, accused of horrific crimes against children.
He’s been charged with six felony counts: four counts of lewd acts upon a child and two counts of continuous s*xual abuse, with special allegations of substantial s*xual conduct involving victims under 14.
Prosecutors say the alleged abuse of two children happened over several years, in Ojai and Oxnard, and that Johnson had access to them through a family relationship.
Investigators believe there may be additional victims and are asking anyone with information to call Ventura County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Loth at 805-384-4745.
A bail review hearing is set for Aug. 28.
Johnson’s Facebook is built around casting himself as a guardian against other people supposedly endangering kids.
In Nov 2022 he asked how “sick people” (LGBTQ people) are “even allowed to be around young impressionable minds,” demanding “TOTAL EDUCATION REFORM.”
In Sept 2019 he called a school’s gender-identity program “Sickening.”
In March 2023 he called a district hiding kids’ gender status from parents “the beginning of the end.”
Every time, the target was someone else — a school board member, a teacher, an LGBTQ program — never the pastors like himself who are getting arrested regularly for grooming and s*xually abusing children.
Not a drag queen. Not a trans person. Not a Muslim. Not a socialist. Not an immigrant.
Just another “family values” MAGA pastor.
Roy on midterm voting restrictions: I think you're seeing a lot of people in North Carolina, particularly on college campuses, are having an "I'll show you" attitude. "You're not going to take our vote away. We'll show you."
I went to North Carolina A&T State University, the largest HBCU in North Carolina. They removed that ballot box from their campus, but the students are marching to the nearest polling place and they're spreading the word that it's really important for them to get out and vote in this election because our country needs a course correction. And that's what they can do in these midterms by putting the checks and balances back into the Constitution that the framers intended.
A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center.
ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad.
Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.
🚨 2 MONTHS OLD: A church leader is charged with child molesting after an alleged incident involving an infant.
JOSIAH JUNKIN, 27, was serving at a Lutheran church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Police say the alleged victim was 2 months old. He is being held without bond.
The baby could not speak. The adults around him could. That is the betrayal.
BREAKING: In a shocking moment, two Texas Republican voters just went on CNN to announce they're voting blue for the first time in their lives because of Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton's data center corruption.
ALEX PRETTI'S FAMILY: "He was a good man... No one called us - we found out on TV... It's been 7 months... There was more effort vilifying him than pursuing justice. People need to be held accountable when they murder someone in this country."

🚨Nicholas Powell, 34, of Andrews, Texas — diehard Trump supporter and neo-Confederate — has been arrested on child s*xual abuse charges.
Powell was arrested after the FBI’s Midland office tipped the Andrews County Sheriff’s Office to a possible s*xual assault in the county. Detectives identified Powell as the suspect and traced him to a residence about 18 miles southwest of Andrews.
Before dawn Sunday, deputies and Andrews PD served a warrant there and took him into custody without incident.
Powell is charged with a first-degree felony count of aggravated s*xual assault of a child, plus a third-degree felony count of possession of child s*xual abuse materials involving a child under 10. The investigation is ongoing.
Before his arrest, Powell’s Facebook was a case study in MAGA racism: a Trump 2020 flag flying next to a Confederate flag reading “We would’ve had it made,” a picture of Powell wearing a Trump mask with the caption “Trump 2020,” hand-painted Confederate flag cornhole boards, and a “joke” post mocking a fictional all-Black “Snow White” remake, complete with dwarf names like “Dealer,” “Stealer” and “Mugger.”
He’s currently held at the Andrews County Jail.
Not a drag queen. Not trans. Not an immigrant. Not a Muslim.
Yet another racist Trump supporter.
🚨BREAKING: Democrats renewed their bid Tuesday to block President Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order.
