The amount of money the administration is promising in order to buy votes is significantly less than the amount of money it is taking away in programs and services. And it's OUR money!

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

I'm not the audience for the Smith hearing, but the main political issue here is that Republicans want the world to know that Smith subpoenaed congressional phone records as he investigated Jan. 6 etc, and nobody outside the Senate can explain to you why that's bad.

When I see a new garbage political attack ad, I now try to focus on what entity paid for it. I saw one making things up about Sherrod Brown yesterday that came from “Buckeyes PAC,” which I hadn’t seen before. As it turns out, that’s by design. (Thread)
FEC page for “Buckeyes PAC,” showing registration September 8, 2026. It’s a bullshit pop-up PAC timed to delay disclosure of donors.

Trump didn't want Americans to hear what James Talarico had to say. So he made sure Talarico's interview was viewed by 5 million people in 24 hours, over the double the views Trump's speech at the Midterm Convention got. Donald is smart that way.

Whistleblower claims USPS plan for Trump's mail voting order could 'derail' midterms
A whistleblower says the U.S. Postal Service is rushing out an online system for President Trump's push to restrict mail voting that could "derail" the midterm election if courts allow it to proceed.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,
