Had a great conversation with @HC_Richardson last night about the generational opportunity we have to deliver real change for Iowa in November.

The Russians continue to turn our infrastructure and everything that supports ordinary life into their targets. This morning in Kyiv, a “shahed” struck the Pivnichnyi Bridge. Overnight, residential buildings, railways, and energy infrastructure in many regions came under Russian attack. In Chornomorsk, a drone struck a vessel. Importantly, our warriors always find a way to justly respond to these attacks and take the war back to where it came from. Over the past 24 hours, our long-range capabilities effectively struck targets serving the aggressor’s war machine. Our sanctions reached the Samara region, as well as the positions of occupiers operating Iskander missile systems in the Bryansk region. There are new results in the Black Sea. I thank all the units involved for their precision and systematic work. Russia must stop its absurd escalation.

Trump and Joe Strada say AI doesn’t need regulation. That’s reckless. We already saw what happened when social media companies were allowed to put growth ahead of protecting our kids. AI is even more powerful. We cannot wait for another generation of kids to get hurt before government does its job. Innovation without guardrails isn’t leadership. It’s gambling with our future. @dccc @FlaDems @FlaYoungDems @OrangeCoFL @VoteStrada @realDonaldTrump #congress #controversyai #vote #cd11 #floridadems #democrats #trump #noshowjoe

This election will determine who confirms the next Supreme Court justice. Susan Collins voted to confirm three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, and she's voted with Donald Trump 96% of the time. She's no "independent" and she can't be trusted to decide our Supreme Court justice. Look at her receipts.
Samuel Alito tells CBS News that he expects to consider retiring from the US Supreme Court next year.

Air raid alert in Kharkiv. It's 2:30 AM. I am extremely tired, but with russian drones expected, I'm also loaded on coffee and profoundly wired. My mind is racing like a squirrel on a wheel, while I'm actually too exhausted to even move to the bathroom. ​Been living like this for far too long. 0/10 state, do not recommend.

On this day when we commemorate the passing of St Francis, I’ll pray for you, your intentions and world peace at St Anthony’s Tomb. I’ll remember you again at 4pm during the Holy Mass I’ll celebrate in the Basilica. May St Francis inspire you with his peace and simplicity 🤗

History lesson: House democratic judiciary chairman Peter Rodino hired 2 GOP lawyers to lead the Nixon watergate probe. The vote to impeach was bipartisan. The Supreme Court voted 8-0 to turn over the White House tapes. GOP senators Barry Goldwater & Hugh Scott told Nixon he would be convicted so he resigned. As Pres Ford said, our long national nightmare was over.

Mariupol. Archival footage. Estimated 100,000 lives lost — buried under rubble or in mass graves. Anyone pressuring Ukraine to surrender under the pretext of peace negotiations is no better than Putin himself.

Joe Strada isn’t doing the work. He’s spending millions trying to buy this seat and refusing to show up. We’re organizing, knocking doors, writing postcards and outworking him every single day. Honored to join the Blue Ladies of Windermere and Winter Garden as we wrote thousands of postcards to our friends and neighbors. Joe Strada stands with Donald Trump 100 percent of the time. Those policies are enriching billionaires while working people get crushed by rising costs. He can spend millions. We’ll outwork him. Thank you to the Blue Ladies and every volunteer powering this grassroots campaign. We’re not stopping until we flip this seat. @dccc @FlaDems @OrangeCoFL @RepMaxwellFrost @RepMcGovern @NikkiFried #Congress #floridapolitics #democrats

Quite the graphic here from Fox News! Remember, the only reason Ken Paxton is the nominee is Trump ordered GOP voters to make it so
Surprise finding in new Fox poll of Texas showing Talarico ahead: He's winning 22 percent of non-MAGA Republican voters. This GOP demographic *disapproves* of Trump's performance overall. If that's right, it's cause for optimism. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2161…

It is peak harvest season in Iowa, and diesel prices are skyrocketing to historic highs. These heightened fuel and fertilizer costs are pushing our farmers towards foreclosure. That’s unacceptable. Our Iowa farmers deserve a senator who will fight for them.

The Republicans are running scared! They are increasingly spending more and more money in the reddest of red areas in an attempt to hold on. We have them on the run - all gas, no brakes. Don't believe any of these polls - we can win anywhere if we are willing to organize everywhere.
Breaking News: A top Republican super PAC pulled money from the North Carolina Senate race, signaling the party no longer sees a path to winning the state. trib.al/OlIqun0
