I’m investing to bridge the racial wealth gap in Buncombe County. And I get a tax deduction for doing it. It’s a philanthropic investment. app.catacap.org/invest/32

If Alito retires, he could well be replaced by a 40-year-old ultra-conservative.
It’s no overstatement to say the next 50 years of American jurisprudence are on the ballot this fall.
To provide a check on Trump’s nominees, we need a Democratic Senate. Vote accordingly.

NEW: Kawhi Leonard and a "CLIP" account got $1.9M from Boingo before a 1-hour military photo-op, internal financials and government records show.
"It is really gross," former Boingo exec says. "Those Marines had no idea they were participating in... fraud?"
What did Kawhi know?

Iowa Hawkeyes. Atlanta Hawks. Not the same team, not even the same state. Get your facts straight before calling someone a dirtbag.
Instead of this distraction, we should have hearings on health care costs, 8 million Americans losing coverage, and tariffs crushing our farmers.

This is a killer ad. If Hamilton defeats Marshall for Senate in Kansas, include it in your analysis.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign.
The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.
Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Paxton wants to control your uterus. Control your medications. Deny elections. Cheat on his wife. Commit Security fraud. Stop contraception. Mandate his preferred prayers in schools.Paxton initially stated in a Texas Tribune interview that he strongly supports IVF and pro-family policies.Ken Paxton walked back his absolute backing, stating that the state should look into restrictions to prevent the loss of fertilized eggs. Women. Pay attention.

James Talarico, in an interview down the road from the GOP midterm convention, tells me he's "unhappy" with the Democratic Party's brand
"I’m also unhappy with the Democratic Party nationally,” Talarico said. “I’m unhappy with its inability to fight for working people. And so that’s why I call myself a Texas Democrat in the tradition of Lyndon Johnson and Barbara Jordan and Lloyd Bentsen — people who fought for the middle class"

The Cook Political/Univision poll of Latinos is absolutely brutal for the GOP.
Talarico 63%
Paxton 30%
Hinojosa 60%
Abbott 33%
A couple observations: 🧵

Day One of the GOP midterm convention was a real debacle: empty seats, a podium literally falling apart, and a crowd barely mustering enthusiasm for “special guests” like Ken Paxton.
And soaring costs from Trump’s war with Iran? That inconvenient reality didn’t make the program.

Fox News says James Talarico is counterprogramming the GOP clownshow with Texas food drives focused on affordability. Good. While Republicans gather in Dallas, more than 20,000 pounds of groceries went to Texans who need them. That’s a message people can feel

Fox reporter: James Talarico is doing counter-programming to the GOP convention by hosting food drives all around Texas. He wants to shift focus to affordability.

BREAKING: 20+ Republican leaders just endorsed our campaign for US Senate.
We’re bringing Texans together onto one team to take power back for working people.
Because the real fight in this country isn't left versus right — it's top versus bottom.

Kawhi Leonard reportedly did not have any knowledge of the salary cap circumvention that was going on, per @ShamsCharania
(Via @GetUpESPN / h/t @TheNBABase )
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Here's a photo of Kawhi's signature on an agreement with Aspiration Partners, the organization involved in the circumvention:
