No one should have to crowdfund their cancer treatment. My team and I are in the Rio Grande Valley supporting Cindy Banda, a mother of six fighting cancer — and thousands in medical bills. I’ll fight to lower healthcare costs for everyone — because healthcare is a human right.

You know if the shoe were on the other foot and McConnell was governor, and the Senate seat was held by a Democrat, he would’ve already filled this seat.

Governor Beshear is reportedly ready to test whether Kentucky’s constitution lets him fill a Senate vacancy directly — bypassing the GOP’s 2024 special-election law and daring Republicans to take him to court. Let’s go.

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "The interaction with him only strengthened my resolve to speak out against his confirmation. It felt that he was only meeting us because his hand was forced ... Many of us had questions. And ultimately, I felt really dissatisfied with the answers he provided ... he was not at all convincing that he cares about doing better in this case."

I think about this all the time. The weakest people need a strongman. But the strongmen are always weak and broken themselves. They break things because they are broken. They are cruel because they are weak. We are living through an age of weak and broken men.

It's ironic that so many weak people are so powerfully attracted to leaders who hate weakness and abuse the weak.

So let me get this straight. Taylor Farms lettuce gets linked to the cyclospora outbreak. The CEO visits the White House and donates to Trump. Then the FDA says the positive finding was a “false positive.” Nothing suspicious about that at all.

NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. In it she says "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." "Throughout the years, I brought my concerns to law enforcement, the courts, and the Department of Health and Human Services. I tried to explain what I believed was a long-standing pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, and controlling behavior because I genuinely feared where those behaviors could lead. From my perspective, those warnings did not receive the attention I believed they deserved." NPR reported on a court filing from Lucinda where she accused him of being physically aggressive with their then 13-year-old daughter. Below is her statement in full:

Andrew and Tristan Tate spent the days before their arrest partying in Washington, D.C., as guests of Paolo Zampolli — Donald Trump’s U.S. Special Envoy for Global Partnerships and a longtime friend of Trump and Melania. Zampolli is the former modeling executive who says he brought Melania to the United States and introduced her to Donald Trump. His name has also surfaced repeatedly in reporting surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s modeling-world connections. And there’s more. Zampolli previously acknowledged contacting a senior ICE official about Amanda Ungaro, the mother of his child, during a bitter custody dispute. She was later taken into immigration custody and deported, although Zampolli denies that he asked ICE to detain her. Now we learn that the Tate brothers — facing rape and sex-trafficking charges in Britain — were being welcomed and entertained in Washington by a Trump administration envoy shortly before federal authorities arrested them in Miami. That raises some very serious questions: Who invited them? Who did they meet with? And why were they being embraced by someone so close to Trump’s inner circle? Stay tuned. There is much more to come.
