.@JamesTalarico: This is a very serious allegation to make in Texas, so I want to say this definitively and categorically: I deny all accusations of veganism. Our campaign basically runs on barbecue these days. I will give a shout out to the best barbecue joint in Texas, Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, Texas. Check it out next time you're in Taylor. Best brisket you're going to find.


Wow! @SpanbergerForVA is not even a full year into the Governor’s mansion and Virginia’s already staring down a brutal 10,300 job losses in 2026. From @GlennYoungkin’s economic boom to Spanberger’s bust in record time. She is an absolute disaster.

Asked by @lisakashinsky about the shift of opinions on AIPAC among Democrats and whether he personally would reject money from the group, @CoryBooker says “First and foremost, there is a singling out of AIPAC that is troubling to me.” Says there are Iranian Americans and Turkish Americans who bundle money, adding “There are a lot of ethnic groups that bundle money, and often for things that I don't agree with. But somehow, AIPAC seems to be drawing a lot of attention, and that's problematic to me,” he says. Goes on to say that he doesn’t think anybody should be accepting PAC money from anyone.

BREAKING: Rep. DeGette gets heated with a constituent pressing her on why she voted to send bombs to Israel: "If this the only issue that you care about is this issue, then you should not vote for me" DeGette, who's 68, is facing a primary challenge from @MelatKirosCO.





Abughazaleh is getting crushed in the Cook and Lake County suburbs. Evidence that Mamdani style leftism only has purchase in deep-blue cities and college towns.


A Brand New Day starts now. Watch the official trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day - exclusively in theatres July 31.

VoteHub projects Daniel Biss to win the Illinois Democratic primary for U.S. House District 9.

AIPAC and their allies spent $9 million for Laura Fine's 3rd place finish. Being pro-genocide is bad policy and bad politics! #IL09

This isn’t Democracy.

Color me shocked that the Very Online Candidate with no experience and no real campaign strategy beyond "get likes on the internet" ended up losing a Democratic primary to the incumbent mayor of Evanston, Illinois.
