President Biden @POTUS

For what it’s worth, I happen to think the best way to figure out what Congressional Republicans’ commitments are is to look at the ones they’ve already made.

158 out of 212 House Republicans have called for slashing and privatizing Social Security, raising the retirement age to 70, and ending Medicare as we know it.

This is coming from the same party that refused to cap insulin at $35 for all Americans and voted against The Inflation Reduction Act which lowered prescription drug costs for seniors.

Catherine Cortez Masto @CortezMasto

@AdamLaxalt was "the proud face of the Big Lie in Nevada."

Now Adam Laxalt is threatening to overturn this election if he doesn't like the results, because he'll do anything for power.

Glad Social Security is trending...because if @RonJohnsonWI had his way, it would have disappeared.

Hitting the doors with @PaulSimonMusic, @MaryLightbody, @TinaMaharath, and our Workers First local candidates: that's one way to lose these walking blues.

Thanks to Muskogee County for the fantastic food and discussion. Several public school teachers were present, who expressed their grave concern for the future of OK’s education system and their students.

President Biden @POTUS

This wasn’t an accident. It’s what my Administration has been building toward.

Companies at home and abroad are making more things in America – not just because it's better for their supply chains. But because we're building an economy that makes their investment worthwhile.


U.S. manufacturers have now added enough jobs to regain all that they shed during the pandemic — and then some.

No 'semblance of a campaign': Five of Trump's candidates for governor air zero TV ads combined



Former President Donald Trump's picks for governor in five states are facing media scrutiny after failing to air a single television advertisement since winning their primaries.

In a report on Monday, The New York Times revealed that Pennsylvania candidate Doug Mastriano "is being heavily outspent by his Democratic rival, has had no television ads on the air since May."

"There's no sign of cavalry coming to his aid, either: The Republican Governors Association, which is helping the party's nominees in Arizona, Michigan and six other states, has no current plans to assist Mr. Mastriano, according to people with knowledge of its deliberations," the paper added.

Matt Brouillette, the president of a conservative advocacy group, slammed Mastriano in remarks to the Times.

"I can't even assess things because I don't see a campaign," Brouillette said. "I've not seen anything that is even a semblance of a campaign."

According to the report, Mastriano's lackluster campaign is not unusual among Trump's preferred candidates.

"Along with Mr. Mastriano in Pennsylvania, Trump-backed candidates for governor in five other states — Arizona, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts and Michigan — have combined to air zero television advertisements since winning their primaries," the report said.

Over the weekend, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) vowed to campaign against Mastriano and other Trump-endorsed candidates who push lies about the 2020 presidential election.

"I think we have to do everything we can in '22 to make sure those people don't get elected," she told the Texas Tribune Festival. "We have to make sure [Doug] Mastriano doesn't win."

Americans are better off under Biden. 

This data sure makes the case that we are.


David Doney @David_Charts

Real net worth of the bottom 50% households set another record in Q2 '22, reaching $67,524, up 10% from last quarter and up 60% since Biden started.

This is driven by home prices, big wage gains, and full employment.
