No waste … using scraps to sew some scrap face pins as I continue to raise $ for cancer research. See more on my Instagram @CBDartstudio

Republicans have dumped a staggering $160 million into Texas — and James Talarico is still leading. At the Texas Tribune Festival, the moderator went through the last 10 public Senate polls. Talarico led in all 10. That’s not a blip. That’s a huge warning sign for the GOP.

The court unanimously ruled the seizure was unlawful, saying voted ballots must remain in the custody of election officials, even during a criminal investigation. Bianco was also ordered to stop handling the ballots except to return them.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the White House to immediately restore the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO reporters after Trump barred the outlets from the White House. The temporary order lasts 14 days while the lawsuit moves forward.

After six American soldiers died in an Iranian attack earlier this year, Democrats pressed Pete Hegseth for answers — but he's stonewalling. Rep. Pat Ryan and I are pushing for a public hearing. Our service members and their families deserve better.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

He acts as if the people’s money is his personal money but that he spends taxpayer money way more freely than he has ever spent his own $. Such a PO(tu)S move.

The law is that “Although the WH is not required to open its doors to the news media, once it establishes press facilities for credentialed journalists, it cannot deny access based on the content of a journalist’s coverage.” That's exactly what Trump is doing. joycevance.substack.com/p/its-a-nice...

The FCC will allow the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & Abu Dhabi to own nearly 50% of a merged Paramount-Warner Bros — potentially giving them sway over our media. This of course comes after Trump received gifts or struck business deals with these countries. See the problem?

NEWS: Donald Trump’s own nephew, Fred Trump, is publicly calling out his uncle’s lies about 9/11, saying Trump’s claim that he brought a crew of workers to Ground Zero “so offends me that I need to speak out.”
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X from Fred Trump (@FredTrump_) that reads:

“There are two reports out today that relate to the tragedy of 9/11. I will comment on them today because doing so on the 25th anniversary this Friday would take away from the solemn memories. I try not to comment personally about my uncle, but his claim that he brought a crew of workers to help at the sight so offends me that I need to speak out. He was not building a “big building “ at the time. The only crew he claimed to bring to the site would have been secretarial and accounting employees from Trump Tower I knew many of them, and pretty sure they were not capable physically to help (if they could, I am sure they would try). Regarding the US Steel Building, ironically, the grandfather of a very close friend of mine was one of the original engineers- the bldg was built strong. Second, the brother of a partner of mine was an engineer that was immediately called to perform an inspection. While people were originally concerned, it was eventually cleared for occupancy- not creaking and ready to fall. I hope this brings some truth to that story. The second story will follow.
