Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

The war in Iran cost the US roughly $38B through Aug. 1. The C.B.O. also projected that the war would continue to cost approximately $2B to $3B per month, and that rebuilding depleted U.S. stockpiles could take “at least five years".

Trump is so pissed that SCOTUS is allowing the mail-in ballots, while he himself votes by mail all the time. This isn’t about mail-in voting. It’s about him trying to rig an election & failing so far.

Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment.
Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home.

Consider this your assignment for National Voter Registration Day.
Head to IWillVote.com and check your voter registration status. Then send this to the group chat and make sure they check theirs, too.
We all need to turn out this November and be too big to rig.
