Constantly getting the most batshit emails from Team Trump.
The cameras were still packing up.

As soon as President Trump finished taking questions from a hostile press corps in the Rose Garden, one of his top aides walked straight up to him and handed him a clean, professional binder.

President Trump didn’t smile for the cameras. He opened the binder and started reviewing it immediately.Inside that binder was a small message in fine print “we regret to inform you that Amanda from did not renew their MAGA Membership before your deadline.

Trump immediately told us not to give up on you! He said Amanda is a true MAGA Patriot who never gives up, especially when AMERICA IS ON THE LINE.

As a result, we provided you with a FINAL 5-HOUR EXTENSION to renew your MAGA membership before the doors close for good. Will you be a shoulder for MAGA to lean on during the midterms?

The asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...

RESULT: When Maryland adopted major restrictions on ICE earlier this year (we covered here: boltsmag.org/maryland-new...), just one Democrat in the state House opposed this: Delegate Frank Conaway. Conaway has been ousted by a wide margin in tonight's Democratic primary for HD40.

Across NY & MD, I'm counting 12 Democratic incumbents who lost (or, in one case, are trailing) to a challenger to their left. —2 congressmembers (both NY) —4 state senators (2 in NY, 2 in MD) —6 state house members (5 in NY, 1 in MD) A thread to break this down.

The winner of the Democratic primary for governor in Maine, announced just now at 1:48am by Maine officials after tabulation of ranked choice voting, is... Hannah Pingree. Pingree was SECOND in the first-round preferences on June 9th, with just 23% of the vote; but she won in final round of RCV.

Overthrowing a billionaire-backed fascist regime requires high bar, sustained, civil disobedience. And this requires connecting people into communities and showing we are the majority, our beliefs are the common sense norm. Both things are true.

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.
