One of our #26in2026 targets, @DanSullivan_AK, voted to confirm Todd Blanche for AG. It's worth mentioning Dan received ~$10k in campaign donations from Epstein associates. Also worth mentioning that Dan voted AGAINST the release of the Epstein files. See how this works? bit.ly/4wUiSnr

Dan Sullivan took nearly $10,000 from Epstein associates, then voted to confirm Blanche - The Alaska Current
Last year, Sullivan voted to block the release of the Epstein files, then took nearly $10,000 in contributions from two contacts of the dead child sex trafficker.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Remember how in the Llano book banning case, the Fifth Circuit debated whether museums were "government speech." But even they pointed out that even if they "were" govt speech, libraries and museums would contain a multiplicity of viewpoints. We should be very concerned about this.

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho
