Safety-net hospitals across the country serve patients on Medicaid, and the cuts put into place by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will torch budgets. This is the silent issue animating much of the anti-Republican backlash in the midterms, and it compounds on itself. buff.ly/o2Vklpj

Democrats have filed a lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Justice Department — alleging that the administration is unlawfully interfering with the midterms by pressuring states to remove voters from their rolls.

I think the best way to frame it is this: if—simply hypothetically—Republicans were to do very poorly in the midterms, can anyone think of a single reason or a single precedent associated with Donald Trump that would cause him to accept the midterm election results? I feel like the chance is... 0%.
National security officials have been secretly bracing for the possibility that Trump refuses to accept the midterm election results.

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

Yes. The Trump-MAGA attack on Elissa Slotkin is getting amplified wall-to-wall by the social media feeds of just about every significant MAGA personality, elected Republican, and party committee in Washington. Why doesn't this happen on the Dem side? Dems should defend her *and* amplify her point.
Second all of this from @gregsargent.bsky.social. Every Democrat should back Slotkin up and reiterate her point. Don’t come work in government if you’re eager or even willing to participate in Trump corruption. newrepublic.com/article/2168...

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Good for Talarico. As I said a few days ago, the Democrats need to run against Musk. Everyone with a brain knows that he’s the enemy.
Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Reyes, before she wraps up golf course hearing, says her family has been texting her, "freaking out" over CNN report about death threats bc of this case. "A federal judge is getting death threats over a golf course. I really don’t think that’s what the founders envisioned."
At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.
