Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Honestly, it's already getting hard to keep up with all of the new climate data records. And I only expect this to amplify later this year. Climate change is still the key story. You just experienced the warmest summer on record across the contiguous United States. Data at doi.org/10.7289/V5SX...
Line graph showing average temperatures for each June-August in the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) from 1895 to 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend. Data is from NClimGrid. The average for 2026 was 74.4°F.
