We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

A new KFF-@apnews.com survey finds rural voters’ frustrations about the cost of living are growing and appear to be chipping away at Republicans’ enthusiasm to vote in the midterm elections. Explore the survey findings and read reporting from AP and @kffhealthnews.org: on.kff.org/4yNL8bH

The KFF chart titled "Rural Voters' Ratings of Cost of Living in Their Communities Have Significantly Worsened in the Past Decade, While Other Sentiments Have Changed Little". It shows how people rate things in their community as only fair or poor.

Long after Trump is gone from office as the most despised, unpopular, and disastrous president in US history, the stink of Trump will remain forever on Republican politicians and appointees who backed him every step of the way, even when they try to claim they were independent.

There are very few levers the president actually has, but of the few that exist Trump has pulled all the ones that directly harm people. Tariffs, Iran war, Medicaid and SNAP cuts — all things that make it harder for struggling families to get by. Higher prices, higher interest rates, less help.

The most important task of democrats is not to change the minds of far-rightists — they are a minority and hard to change. The most important task of democrats is to change the minds of people who believe “the left” or “the establishment” are worse than the far right.

Before you read too much into this: Tuberville has $9.5M to Jones’ $2.5M and it’s not unusual for Alabama Democrats to outraise Republicans in the summer, when most people are tuned out. I wouldn’t expect Jones to repeat the win in September. (If he does, things could get interesting.)

Today's a good day to recall that antisemite Paul Ingrassia ordered CBP to give accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate his devices back last year, obstructing an investigation into child sex trafficking. www.propublica.org/article/andr...

But when the Tate brothers arrived by private plane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they immediately found themselves in the crosshairs of law enforcement once more, as Customs and Border Protection officials seized their electronic devices.

This time, they had a powerful ally come to their aid. Behind the scenes, the White House intervened on their behalf.

Interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica show a White House official told senior Department of Homeland Security officials to return the devices to the brothers several days after they were seized. The official who delivered the message, Paul Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison.

In his written request, a copy of which was reviewed by ProPublica, Ingrassia chided authorities for taking the action, saying the seizure of the Tates’ devices was not a good use of time or resources. The request to return the electronics to the Tates, he emphasized, was coming from the White House.
