The so-called “fake electors” narrative has finally collapsed under the weight of its own fabrication. One by one, the cases built by Democratic attorneys general against Republican alternate electors from the 2020 election have crumbled. The most recent example came in Nevada, where Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus dismissed forgery and false-document charges against the six Republican electors, including state GOP Chair Michael McDonald. The judge found no evidence they intended to deceive officials. They had openly announced their purpose, and the certificates they signed could not be legally accepted under…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Democratic governors opposed Trump's landmark bill — now they're promoting its rural health funding
Seven Democratic governors who fought the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are now accepting billions in rural health care dollars it created, touting the money in press releases that sometimes fail to mention where it came from. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced in August that his state would use $80 million to expand primary care, […] The post Democratic governors opposed Trump's landmark bill — now they're promoting its rural health funding appeared first on American Almanac .
Seven Democratic governors who fought the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are now accepting billions in rural health care dollars it created, touting the money in press releases that sometimes fail to mention where it came from. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced in August that his state would use $80 million to expand primary care, mental health services, and dental care in rural communities. His press release celebrated the funding as proof of his administration's "commitment to investing and expanding innovative initiatives." It did not mention that the money flowed directly from President Trump's signature legislative achievement, a law Moore warned last year would leave everyone besides the super-rich "getting hosed." Moore is not alone.…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Black voters in Detroit say Democrats treat them as an afterthought — and El-Sayed's primary numbers prove it
Black voters in Detroit are telling anyone who will listen that the Democratic Party takes their support for granted, and the Michigan Senate primary results suggest the party's progressive wing isn't even trying to change that. Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive activist who narrowly won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary earlier this month, built his victory on […] The post Black voters in Detroit say Democrats treat them as an afterthought — and El-Sayed's primary numbers prove it appeared first on American Almanac .
Black voters in Detroit are telling anyone who will listen that the Democratic Party takes their support for granted, and the Michigan Senate primary results suggest the party's progressive wing isn't even trying to change that. Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive activist who narrowly won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary earlier this month, built his victory on strong turnout in Arab-American enclaves like Dearborn and Hamtramck. In counties where Black residents make up 15 percent or more of the population, his opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, beat him by an average of eight points, according to a county-level analysis by The Hill. That gap matters. El-Sayed's margin of victory was razor-thin, fewer than 15,000 votes out of more than 1.5…Open
AXIOS (Mike Zapler) - Ossoff tests Democrats' appetite for going low
The firestorm over Sen. Jon Ossoff 's suggestive remark about President Trump 's right-hand woman has raised a bigger question about the type of campaign Democrats will run in 2028. Why it matters: Trump has made schoolyard taunts and personal insults a staple of presidential politics. One of the big strategic calls for Democrats in 2028 is whether to fight on Trump's terms — or bet that voters are exhausted and ready for something a bit more dignified. Driving the news: At a campaign rally Sunday, Ossoff went a step beyond the cutting one-liners he's delighted Democratic audiences with, veering into personal insinuation. - "He doesn't want to do the job," Ossoff said of Trump. "He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on…

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Ocasio-Cortez claims Democrats are uniting around 'working people' — while her party's centrists push back on socialism
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a Sunday television appearance to declare Democrats unified heading into the midterms, but a growing faction inside her own party is spending millions to stop the socialist wing she represents.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a Sunday television appearance to declare Democrats unified heading into the midterms, but a growing faction inside her own party is spending millions to stop the socialist wing she represents. Ocasio-Cortez sat down with ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl on August 9, fresh off Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's primary victory in Michigan's U.S. Senate race. El-Sayed, a progressive who defeated centrist Rep. Haley Stevens despite millions in super PAC spending aimed at branding him too extreme, won with less than 50 percent of the vote. Ocasio-Cortez endorsed El-Sayed in July and campaigned alongside him in Michigan , appearing in ads and joining him and Sen. Bernie Sanders at The People V. The Powerful…Open

AXIOS (Mike Zapler) - Divided Democrats face a moment of truth in Michigan Senate primary
Democratic socialists look like they're about to rack up a stunning new victory: Their candidate in Michigan's Senate Democratic primary has the momentum heading into Tuesday's primary. Why it matters: A win by Abdul El-Sayed in the swing state would turbocharge the party's left flank and validate establishment fears about the party's direction. The big picture: Establishment Democrats have watched in horror as democratic socialist candidates pull off one win after another in House primaries this year. The Michigan primary brings the ideological clash to its biggest stage yet. - El-Sayed, who's backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is taking on an establishment favorite in a race that's become a proxy fight…
