Buttigieg: We know that there is more to life than partisan political combat. We know the American flag does not belong to one political side in this country, just as surely as we know that God does not belong to a political party in the United States of America.

A key part of Lindsey Graham's legacy: when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...
"Mr. Raffensperger later said that Mr. Graham had suggested rejecting all mail-in votes from counties with high rates of questionable signatures. Mr. Graham, who at the time was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said that he was acting in his official capacity as a senator."

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

Any historian will tell you that Trump’s corruption has no parallel.
Screenshot of a tweet from Republicans Against Trump quoting Barack Obama saying a president shouldn't have side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in, followed by the account's claim that Trump has made at least $4 billion since taking office. Includes a CBS Mornings video thumbnail of Obama in an interview, with a chyron reading "Obama Appears to Criticize Trump in New Interview."

The U.S. government detained and deported a 25-year-old man who says he’s a U.S. citizen earlier this month, after police stopped the vehicle he was riding in near Fredericksburg, Texas, then called immigration authorities when he couldn’t immediately provide identification or proof of citizenship.
