Elon Musk isn't just spreading white supremacist rhetoric. He's using his immense wealth and political influence to advance it, with devastating real-world consequences. @jbouie tells @Timodc why Republicans who take Musk's money should have to answer for his extremism.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING outgrossing MELANIA in four days despite being on a fraction of the number of screens is not terribly surprising, but it is more evidence that Amazon/Bezos massively overpaid for that hunk of junk as a sort back-channel bribe to the Trumps.

This ad is so fucking funny. Labels an obviously doctored photo as real, misspells a basic word in ALL CAPS, essentially argues that people shouldn't vote for Rob Sand because he's hot.
🚨 NEW AD 📺 Rob Sand is the Model Liberal.

THE MOTHER SAYS SHE’S LYING *ABOUT* THE ABUSE!!!!!!!
Vivek Ramaswamy just now on the ad with Acton’s estranged mother: “We ran an ad about lying. Amy Acton is lying. … It had nothing to do with childhood abuse, which I will be the number one governor to prosecute when I am the governor of this state because it is wrong.”

Another day, another scandal for @PAGOP’s top operative: Scott Presler bought a house in Pennsylvania so he could vote. Now, many out-of-state GOP operatives have registered there, potentially breaking PA election law. Must-read via @BrendanHartnett thebulwark.com/p/gop-operati…

I don't expect everyone to know this, but it is immensely funny because Iowa is home to one of the United States' most storied multi-day bike rides. And it regularly goes through the district Mitchell is seeking to represent.
Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Iowa has extensive cycling infrastructure including bike lanes and trails, plus RAGBRAI, the world's largest multi-day bicycle tour which has crossed the state annually since 1973 with thousands of riders. ragbrai.com iowadot.gov/modes-travel/b…

Who are you kidding? @jdvance is never living in Ohio again. He’s buying a home in Middleburg, Virginia. He vacations in The Cotswolds. You think he has any interest in Ohio? He’s done used them up.
If I'm JD Vance and Acton wins? I don't think I run for president in 2028. I move back home "to let my kids have a normal childhood," run against Acton in 2030 (possibly during a Democratic midterm) and then run for president in 2036.

Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign is using Amy Acton's estranged mom, who sided with her childhood abuser, to attack her credibility. But who's bankrolling him? @JoePerticone follows the corporate PAC money fueling Ramaswamy's campaign and how it's being spent. lnk.thebulwark.com/4iCXKMH?u…

I can attest that they "knew" each other well before 2000. It was the worst kept secret in Lansing.

Mike Rogers became chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Months later, his wife's defense contracting firm landed a billion-dollar government deal. As the couple's wealth grew, so did questions about the arrangement. @Timodc walks @AdamKinzinger through the timeline.

Major revelation here from @Timodc on the Mike and Kristi Rogers scandal. We reported that she was Paul Bremer’s press aid in Iraq and that he traveled there frequently as a married member of Congress. He divorced his first wife in 2007 and married Kristi in 2010. Rogers joined the Intel committee in 2005. In 2006, Kristi launched the U.S. subsidiary of Aegis, a defense contractor, which quickly started getting massive contracts. Tim Miller adds a key detail: Kristi Clemens was Rogers’ finance director for his 2000 campaign. So they knew each other this entire time. Rogers and his wife threatened to sue us over our first story. We stand by our reporting.

In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million. Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”
The MAGA senator had a reporter thrown out of a campaign dinner after being confronted with an embarrassing question. thedailybeast.com/maga-senat…

Vance: "I have never once heard Vivek say, You know what, they ran a very unfair TV advertisement against me." Vivek: "There are attack ads on me that are outright false, that are just fabricated, attacking my business record. I don't love it."
