Heather, my daughter's Dad just got a $500 check from the Government with a letter basically saying it came from ripping millions of Americans off their Healthcare!! This is the letter it came with! I'm awe-struck, while also having been sure this would happen... Have you heard of anyone else?

Alabama Republicans voted against funding the bridge. Biden got the money approved. The bridge got built. Now Trump wants his name on it, and Republicans have made that the priority. Vote against it. Take credit for it. Put your name on it.

Trump is getting ready to lift sanctions on Russia so his family and oligarchs can make billions by purchasing Lukoil's profitable overseas assets for less than they are worth. This sale would be a bribe from Putin. That is all Trump wants.

Important thread of State Senate races in Texas, yeah many of them are >20 points of margin to flip, but honestly... It's in play. GOP polling says they're losing R+23 SD-02. They could lose more. As I've said, Texas is the epicenter of the national wave this year.

"Twice this week, Trump has held White House events announcing a major economic project that happens to benefit a state holding a key, competitive Senate race — first in Iowa, then in Alaska," writes CNN's Aaron Blake.
