When we were in power, Democrats invested in America’s infrastructure and started rebuilding our roads, bridges, and airports. What has Trump done? Tax cuts for the very wealthy paid for by taking Americans' health care away. The same crap Republicans always do.

It's just so galling! Voting over and over and over again to empower Trump and then being performatively dismayed by the totally obvious consequences of her actions!
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse.    This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.     Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.   The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.   I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.
Community note
Senator Collins voted to confirm OMB Director Vought, despite Vought’s known support for the President’s efforts to impound Congressionally-approved funds. thehill.com/homenews/senat… thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Republicans like to say they love this country, but they are hostile to the very ideals that make our country great. Trump and MAGA don’t want to accept elections they lose, they want to ignore court rulings they disagree with, and they try to silence the media when it criticizes them. You cannot love this country and oppose our core values.

Dems are set to win the midterms. No matter how much billionaire money Republicans try to spend, they won’t be able to steal this election. Americans have had enough.

BREAKING: President Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal for a 7-day ceasefire and has told aides he expects to begin bombing Iran after the November midterms, per WSJ. Iran’s proposal would have reopened the Strait of Hormuz and resumed nuclear talks in return for the US lifting its blockade of Iranian ports. Trump is reportedly skeptical Iran will meet his demands and has told his staff that he sees a renewed bombing campaign as likely. Today marks day 209 of the Iran War.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen. nytimes.com/2026/09/24/us/po…

Pls don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes can't be made to voter lists! It's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal w/it. More to come..
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration can deploy an expansive voter identification tool, allowing states to hunt for ineligible voters. Critics fear using the system could result in the purging valid voters from state rolls. nyti.ms/3TsCnVE

Nothing changing in VA as we've gone from 60k to 115k to 145k early votes. EV continues to look very blue, and isn’t just a matter of Democrats turning out more of their high-propensity voters faster--the low-propensity voters who have cast ballots so far look to be even bluer than the high-propensity voters. As I said in my last post about VA, you can't make strong inferences from this type of data that's (1) this early in the in-person early vote process (2) from one state (3) from a state that doesn't have party registration but it's done nothing but harden my view that the floor for the GOP/ceiling for Dems from a turnout standpoint is truly unprecedented in modern elections. I think the 20th percentile outcome for the GOP in November is super, super ugly. But it's always possible there's some effect that because GOP voters are so unenthusiastic right now but it's not like they're going to not turn out but rather will just vote later, especially low propensity ones (the large $$ investments Republicans are making in the next month can't hurt). To me the defining question of the next couple months may very well end up being something like "wow GOP turnout is terrible, especially low propensity GOP turnout, is it going to pick up the closer we get to election day/on election day or is it going to be a blowout?". In states like FL, TX, NC and GA where we are expect >2/3 of the votes to be cast before Election Day it's of course pretty hard to storm back right at the end, something that Andrew Cuomo learned very well in June 2025. I'll note, the VA pattern is reasonably consistent with surveys asking people their enthusiasm with likely-voter screens showing a notably bluer electorate than registered-voter screens. I am not telling anyone this for the first time but at this point, I think a 2026 electorate that voted for Harris in 2024 looks very likely. So, to be the bigger question is whether that electorate looks more like Harris+1 or Harris+6. That difference would have enormous implications on how things end up.

Breaking down Trump’s dumb diesel export ban. It wouldn’t lower diesel prices. In the long run it would increase them.

Unbelievable. 3 hours later and the 10Y Note Yield is now above 5.20% for the first time in 19 years. The 10Y Note Yield is now up +50 basis points in 30 days and +30 basis points in 2 days. Even more remarkable is that the average American has no idea this is happening. Yet. The bond market is imploding in front of our eyes.

I'm sorry, but if you're outraged over Mary Peltola using a few offensive words but silent on Max Miller beating his wife, Ken Paxton protecting a child sex predator, Jon Husted hiring a Nazi as his political director, or any of the far worse Republican scandals this cycle, you can fuck right off.

Democrats are fighting Trump to lower your costs by ending the tariffs, stopping the war in Iran, and restoring the healthcare cuts. Republicans will not stand up to Trump on any of these issues and it will result in higher bills for you.

Susan Collins being bribed is a much more important story than Mary Peltola cussing. Also, some of these people who are shocked by the language wouldn't last a day on a campaign.
