Bad news for @winwithwinsome and @Jack4NJ. New @ppppolls from @DemGovs show majorities in VA and NJ disapprove of them backing Trump's "Big, Beautiful" bill and its health care cuts. Meanwhile, @SpanbergerForVA & @MikieSherrill are running on affordability.

Shameful day in Senate Judiciary. Republicans broke numerous committee rules, ignored privileged motions, denied debate, and rushed through judicial nominees without real vetting. Sen. BOOKER admonished them for it, and Democrats denied quorum and walked out. 🔥

.@Jack4NJ can’t think of a single thing he disagrees with Trump on... Does that include his decision to hide the Epstein files?

So, how about those Epstein subpoenas? 🤔

And on top of this, this morning we learned that James Comer has been autopenning his auto pen investigation. Shocker, huh?! @RepJamesComer, are you okay? Blink twice if your staff have taken over.

NEW: More than 75 former judges urge U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee – of which Sen. Thom Tillis (NC) is a member – to REJECT Trump judicial nominee Emil Bove. More: bit.ly/44OGwoq #ncpol

“Comer using an autopen to investigate an autopen is just so James. That’s what we love about him, his attention to detail,” Rep. @JaredEMoskowitz , D-Fla. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

NEW: Over 30 Bipartisan Organizations Urge Senate to Reject Bove Nomination semafor.com/newsletter/07/…

.@CNN: "More than 75 former federal and state judges on Tuesday called on" @SenJudiciaryGOP "to reject the nomination of Emil Bove" "'Mr. Bove’s egregious record of mistreating law enforcement officers, abusing power, and disregarding the law itself disqualifies him'"

This is a remarkable letter from former judges. The case against Mr. Bove's confirmation ultimately has nothing to do with ideology or politics; it's about fundamental unfitness for the judicial role. cnn.com/2025/07/15/pol…

On @scrippsnews, DGA comms director @SamNewton on the impact of Trump's budget in 2025 races: Trump and Republicans passed a bill to slash health care and food assistance to give tax breaks to the wealthiest. Those health care cuts will be on the ballot this year in VA and NJ.

Statement from @terrydholt & @AndrewBatesNC: There are major questions about DOJ's "lack of transparency," "including with regard to records about the death of Jeffrey Epstein." "Let the Bove whistleblower testify," @SenJudiciaryGOP.

.@thedailybeast: "A group of former federal prosecutors have" written to @SenJudiciaryGOP calling Trump's "one-time criminal defense attorney the 'worst conceivable nominee' for a lifetime federal judgeship."

BREAKING: Former federal prosecutors are calling on Senate Judiciary to stop rushing Emil Bove’s nomination without basic vetting. Senators must demand answers before confirming Trump’s personal lawyer to a lifetime judgeship. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

The Senate must reject Emil Bove's nomination to the federal bench. His reprehensible conduct at the Justice Department disqualifies him from a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

Just read a copy of this silly book, and if anyone is curious for a review from someone who lived it first-hand: this book is political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class. The ones who rarely enter the arena, but profit from the spectacle of those that…

.@DanaBashCNN: @JoeBiden "is the guy on the phone with anybody and everybody who needs some, whether it's condolences or 'atta boys' or 'don't give up.'" "He is somebody who has spent years reaching out and going beyond"

No one in America is stronger than Joe Biden. Mine metastasized to the bones too. Cancer has no fucking idea who it’s dealing with. Betting against Biden has never been and still remains a bad fucking bet

.@ktumulty sides with @LeaderJohnThune on protecting the filibuster: “Now its Senate Republicans who want to undermine the filibuster” Thune in January: Overriding the parliamentarian is “totally akin to killing the filibuster. We can’t go there. People need to understand that.”
