The pro-Israel and cryptocurrency lobbies spent a fortune on yesterday's primaries and have millions in their coffers for the rest of the 2026 cycle. They're trying to buy the midterms by tricking you into voting against your own interests.

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" last summer. He has always been kind to me when I've been a guest on his various shows — and he's a wicked smart satirist. Are you planning to tune in to his farewell episode tomorrow night?

 Instead of waiting to see what happens in 2026, we are taking action with our Protect Our Polls Act to make it impossible for the President to use the military to steal an election. Our bill stops that in three ways.

Ex-MAGA pundits including Tucker Carlson are being praised for their second thoughts about Trump—but to have erred so badly, when so many others saw the truth, disqualifies them from being taken seriously on politics again, @dgraham.bsky.social argues:

Media figures who have turned against Trump only in recent weeks have forfeited the right to be taken seriously in the future.

The Epstein crisis is escalating. Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas. This isn't going away.
