Maine Dems have picked a strong candidate in @troyjackson207. With Troy in the Senate, we will get billionaire influence out of our politics and restore power to Mainers. Let’s get to work.

Independent voters are really grossed out by Trump/incumbent Republicans and Trump will make it worse.

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) when asked by The Atlantic if America is ready for a “disabled First Lady” Mark Kelly: “In my opinion we have a pretty disabled president right now.” theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

Vote for Democrats to end this war.

Because it’s low-cost, it runs first on the grid, and displaces higher-cost fossil fuel units. So when Trump attacks solar, he raises costs for American families. Pure fact. reuters.com/legal/litigati…

The informative question is: are Trump’s attacks on clean energy a corrupt scheme to drive grids to the expensive fossil plants of his big donors? Obviously, yes.

Wrong questions. The operative question is: are we reducing emissions enough to forge a pathway to climate safety? So far, no. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Donald Trump’s spiral continues. The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms. So he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories and tell bizarre new lies to deny his 2020 defeat and attack voting rights. This is a disaster for Trump puppet Mike Collins. Already mired in scandal, Mike will now have to double down on conspiracy theories toxic in the General Election. From the start, Trump’s obsession with Georgia elections revealed his fury that Black voters were instrumental to his defeat. I'm asking concerned citizens nationwide to join me and support our voter protection efforts in Georgia.

BREAKING: Retired Lt. Col. Alex Vindman raises a whopping $8.5 MILLION in Q2, with the average donation coming in at less than $35. Florida is in PLAY!

You know who's also running for U.S. Senate? This happily married dad of two who was vetted by the FBI for a federal judgeship. 😎 Text SCOTT to 54937 and join our movement. #MississippiMatters

Four years of idleness under a largely idle president has its price. For all his evil, Trump gets more corruption and damage done in months than we did good work in years. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

To hustle a decision through helping Republicans before a tough election, they had to say JD Vance was running for Senate in 2028. Not quite Citizens United saying all the dark money we see would be transparent, but pretty stinky. newsletters.democracydocket.com/why-the-suprem…

To add: Ken Burns’ “Civil War” chronicles the death of Rhode Islander Sullivan Ballou at the First Battle of Manassas, definitely for an abstraction and not his family graveyard in Cumberland. We know it because he said so. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/…

There’s the big lie, for the billionaire polluters they serve: that polluter political money is “speech.” What’s next, gunfire is protected speech, so those with the most guns rule? Money is a lot of things other than speech — like bribery and corruption. wsj.com/opinion/suprem…

The shorthand use of the term “conservative” is painfully misleading. This captured Court’s purposes are anything but. newyorker.com/preview/articl…

Corruption, with a cherry on top.

Allianz adds more warnings. Uninsurable homes are unmortgageable, and unmortgageable homes can be unsellable, except at steep losses. Hence the warnings that this risk is “systemic” and can cascade into general recession. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
