The grifting is bad enough, but the grubby vulgarity of it all should embarrass every American. “Honey please I need you to get this done for me.” How Kimberly Guilfoyle pressed a MAGA ally to transfer $100,000 to her Amex account. wsj.com/politics/policy/guil… via @WSJ

The dam is breaking. Overt corruption, pay for play. And this will only get worse. This ain’t like fine wine. The problem with Rubio expressing support for her today is that he knew this was coming, and did so anyway.

“She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express —in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail.” wsj.com/politics/policy/guil…

I cannot get over how fucking stupid @kimguilfoyle is. Babe!!! Stop documenting our crimes!! Signal me babe!!! Crime me on Signal!

NEW: We’re suing the Trump administration. Trump personally ordered his administration to use taxpayer dollars to fund political propaganda. This is an illegal and desperate attempt to boost the GOP ahead of the midterms, and we’re fighting back.

Democratic House candidate Will Lawrence goes in on Rep. Tom Barrett during their debate today: "Tom Barrett voted to give tax breaks to billionaires. He voted to cut your healthcare. He voted to make your gas and groceries more expensive. And he's voted to increase the national debt. He's running from his record because he knows he's repeatedly voted over the last 2 years to make your life more expensive, while making our country weaker. He has no answers for his record or that of his failed president."

Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing. They don't care about you, or the country. Vote Democratic this November. The future of America depends on it.

HELLO, MR. OCTOBER!

Register to vote Vote early as possible

Trump is trying to depress turnout. The antidote to this is to: make sure you're registered to vote (voterresource.org/btc), vote early (once you vote, candidates will divert resources away from you and toward low-propensity voters), and ensure other people vote (friends, family, etc). Don't give him the satisfaction of scaring you into submission; let it redouble your efforts to defeat him by an unmistakable margin.

Between this and his “midterm surprise,” the time to prepare for him to try to steal an election is now.

Remember it was Trump that called for the destruction of 2 American cities. Not Mamdani. Not El-Sayed. Not any Muslim. Trump. A white, billionaire, rapist, pedophile.

Donald Trump’s remarks were dangerous — if not treasonous — putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs. I am directing the State Threat Assessment Center to actively monitor the situation in the event that foreign actors interpret the President’s remarks as an invitation to target California.

California, check your mail! BALLOTS have been MAILED to every registered voter as of TODAY. Make your voice heard and VOTE EARLY.

El-Sayed: Donald, please, I'm asking you, come to Michigan. Clearly your candidate can't speak for himself. He doesn't have anything to say. Clearly you are the answer. And you should tell everybody why they should imagine you on the ballot.  Here's the challenge: I think you are too afraid to come to Michigan because, you know, when I beat your candidate, I'm actually beating you. I dare you to come.

Watters: We expect more from politicians than just a bumper sticker that says, give me stuff. Jessica: So this $5,000 dividend Trump is doing, what's that? Watters: He’s trying to entice people to get more turnout in the election. Jessica: He has no money—he’s going to take it out of your pocket. Watters: No, I got a tax cut.

Q: Why are you telling your supporters to vote by mail if you think it's fraud? Trump: There is a lot of cheating in vote by mail Q: Where? Trump: California Q: There is no evidence in California. Trump: No evidence? You are fake news!

A lot has gone wrong for the Bengals in their 2 losses this year. They've had opportunities to win the game on the final drive in both of them, and I think the Jaguars are really good. They need to be better with those opportunities (obviously) but at least they're getting them. If it doesn't turn around in a hurry, it's gonna be a long season. I'm still hoping they hit their stride and get hot down the stretch. Hopefully they can get healthy.

Interesting story for those on the corruption beat. gonna tag them in case they miss it @JDVance and @nickshirleyy
