There are no words that will heal the pain of this community.

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

That is not how democracy works, Jesse.

Tomorrow is our roadtrip stream and we’ve got a *lot* of driving soooo… AMA! Drop any questions you have about me, the campaign, Heater, or whatever else below. We’ll try to answer them along the way!

JD Vance = Just Does Vacay.

Noticing a pattern here.

I am aware of reports that threats were made against Texas elected officials in our state. Threats of violence will be investigated and those responsible will be held accountable. I have instructed @ilstatepolice.bsky.social to ensure we maintain public safety.

INGRAHAM: You said there was irrefutable evidence that Obama was the mastermind of this intelligence manipulation and the perpetuation of the Russia hoax. What is that irrefutable evidence? TULSI GABBARD: *makes clear she's got nothing*

Berman: Was the President right about the polling? Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

Olympic level cognitive dissonance.

Trumpers and Dems have long demanded a ban on congressional stock trading. Hawley finally introduced a bill — then was the only Republican on the committee to vote for it. Every Dem voted yes. Now, Trump is lashing out at Hawley because it would also prevent *him* from profiting off insider trading.

Based on what we have learned, this does seem like a fair name for the files

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

Rick Scott on why he opposes the bill to ban congressional stock trading: So this idea that we're going to attack people because they make money is wrong—it's absolutely wrong...I think it's disgusting, what this is. What is going on here?

Jennings: I am just journalist Quest: No, you are not. Jennings: Trade deals— Quest: These trade deals are garbage

Trump’s funding freeze for Northwestern is already devastating staff and research capabilities. That’s the point. That’s why it’s more important than ever for Democrats to fight for educational institutions, their workers, and their students: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/29/n...

They're not even trying to hide it.

Sen. John Kennedy defends Emil Bove: "If everyone is corrupt, nobody is corrupt." (Not the flex he thinks it is ... )

The nation’s highest current peacetime honor:

It is not illegal to follow Federal agents.

I’m old enough to remember when a man radicalized by Donald Trump assassinated Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

HUGE NEWS!!!! A new poll has me within single digits of leading in my race, ahead of FIVE other career politicians. This is incredible! I was a "long shot" in March. Now we’re proving that grassroots campaigns can be viable and win — but I can’t do it without your help.

JD Vance to Kristen Welker: “The president has clear authority to act to prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.” Kristi Noem testified before Congress that Iran didn’t have nukes. Iraq War 2.0 thanks to Donald Trump.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Concerning…

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Dogs are happier than us because they don’t have to pay money to live on a planet they were born on.

Jim Jordan should be in prison, not Congress. Clip from the HBO documentary, "Surviving Ohio State," released June 17.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda. The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.

Treat JD Vance on Bluesky like we did Donald’s birthday parade. Ignore it, don’t show up to watch it, and he will soon become sad and dejected.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Would you look at that.
