EXCERPT:

A clean-energy super PAC funded almost entirely by a major Democrat donor is pouring millions of dollars into Tennessee’s Republican primary in an effort to defeat Trump-backed Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN).

The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition has spent roughly $1 million opposing Ogles and supporting his challenger, former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, before purchasing another $700,000 in advertising ahead of Thursday’s primary.

Federal Election Commission records show the group is bankrolled by Chris Larsen, the liberal California billionaire and chairman of cryptocurrency company Ripple.

EXCERPT:

Politico has spent months telling Americans that Republican concerns about noncitizens in our elections were exaggerated. Yet now that New Jersey admitted more than 6,000 noncitizens ended up on its voter rolls (about 400 of whom voted) — Politico has discovered the problem was apparently an “open secret” all along.

New Jersey Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill recently announced that a “software error” in the state’s motor vehicle system “led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024.” The noncitizens allegedly answered “no” when asked whether they were citizens, but the system registered them anyway. Of those registered, nearly 400 illegally cast a ballot, the governor’s office said.

Now that the reality of noncitizens both registering to vote and voting is too difficult for the corporate media to ignore, they have to cover it. Politico’s Matt Friedman reports that the announcement “exposed an open secret about New Jersey’s so-called motor voter law that officials and political operatives have known for years: There’s little to stop noncitizens from registering to vote if they want to, or even by mistake.”

Musk Revives Super PAC, Pledges Major Push to Boost GOP Turnout in Midterms › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

Elon Musk is reviving his political operation to help Republicans defend their congressional majorities in an election year that has grown increasingly competitive.

Musk is reactivating America PAC, the super PAC that spent more than $260 million helping elect President Donald Trump in 2024, according to people familiar with the plans. The group will focus on door-knocking, digital advertising and direct mail to turn out conservative voters, including many who typically skip midterm elections.

Musk’s representatives have not disclosed a specific dollar figure for the 2026 effort, but given his 2024 spending, which made him the largest individual political donor in a single election cycle in American history, Republican operatives expect a substantial commitment.

The renewed investment gives the GOP a formidable new asset heading into November. GOP super PACs and committees already hold more than a $300 million cash advantage over their Democratic counterparts, a figure that does not include the $400 million sitting in Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC.

James Blair, Trump’s senior political adviser, welcomed the return of Musk’s operation. “America PAC was an essential partner for our historic GOTV operation in 2024, and their return for 2026 is a huge boost for Republicans across the country,” Blair said. “We will again outsmart our opponents and ruthlessly execute our mission for the GOP between now and Election Day.”

America PAC knocked on more than 10 million doors across swing states during the 2024 campaign. By concentrating on turnout operations again this cycle, the group will allow other Republican organizations to direct more of their spending toward television advertising, according to people close to the plans. Musk’s political adviser, Chris Young, will lead the effort, which is expected to coordinate closely with the rest of the party’s political infrastructure.

EXCERPT:
A new poll is making the rounds in New York, and it is “shocking”:

Gov. Kathy Hochul leads her Republican opponent Bruce Blakeman by just 4 percentage points, according to a bombshell new poll. Just 47% of those surveyed said they’d back the Democratic incumbent, compared to 43% who supported the Nassau County executive, with 10% of registered voters undecided, the poll, conducted by a pro-Blakeman super PAC found.

Of course, since this is a pro-Blakeman super PAC poll, it is not being done by a neutral party. Which “means we should read the released polling as the candidate’s best-case scenario — although not an implausible one.” The super PAC is releasing this poll to show that Blakeman is competitive in the race and that GOP donors and voters should get excited about it and contribute/volunteer.

The super PAC needed to release this poll to counteract the public polling. The RCP average shows Democrat incumbent Gov. Hochul up 52.3 percent to 35 percent, which means she is already above the magic 50 percent plus 1 majority of the vote.

In a prior column on the governor’s race, I focused on Bruce Blakeman’s inability to raise the money he needed to be competitive. He has since improved his fundraising – granted, after some campaign snafus – bringing in about $11.4 million in total. But he is still far behind the Hochul team – she is sitting on $21 million on hand, and the New York state Democrat Party has an additional $22 million. This is more than four times the amount Blakeman and the state Republican Party have on hand.

EXCERPT:

As the SAVE America Act stalls in the Senate, new polls show that an overwhelming majority of voters across both parties are largely in favor of supporting required voter ID laws.

Seemingly every day there are more reports about noncitizens participating in U.S. elections and undermining the integrity of America’s voting system. Senate Majority Leader John Thune also continues to clash with President Donald Trump, refusing to overturn the now four-month-long blockade of the SAVE Act in the upper chamber.

A recently published poll by Tea Party Patriots Action indicated over 80 percent of likely voters say that only U.S. citizens should vote in federal elections, while another poll conducted by Fox News found that over 80 percent of voters think that a photo ID should be required to register to vote.

The data released from TPPA surveyed 1,000 general election voters and was conducted by McLaughlin & Associates on July 22, 2026. John McLaughlin, strategic consultant and pollster, surveyed people nationwide who are “likely to vote,” and divided respondents evenly between “people who support Trump and people who don’t,” according to TPPA Chairman Jenny Beth Martin.

EXCERPT:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused state Rep. James Talarico (D-TX), his Democratic Senate rival, of election fraud after a report alleged that Talarico registered to vote at his mother’s Austin address shortly before filing to run for a Texas House seat.

The Federalist reported that Talarico registered at the address in December 2021, days before the candidate filing deadline, as he prepared to campaign in a newly drawn district where he had not previously lived.

Paxton seized on the allegations Tuesday, accusing Talarico of disregarding Texas election law to secure a safe Democratic seat.

“James Talarico has proven he has zero regard for Texans and the rule of law,” Paxton wrote on X.

“He’s been lying to voters and shamelessly committing election fraud to hold onto power.”

EXCERPT:

A DNC official was only able to recover $7,000 of the $29,000 payment.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) lost nearly $29,000 to an email scammer who was posing as Ken Martin, the DNC’s chairman. The thief was able to scam the cash-strapped DNC out of the funds last year, according to reporting first done by NOTUS.

An unknown party was able to send the fraudulent email to a staffer at the DNC in February 2025, an official told the outlet. The email claimed to be Martin, and the staffer, who no longer works for the DNC, sent the $29,000.

The DNC official was able to catch the error minutes later, but was only able to recover $7,000 of the $29,000 payment. The fraudster was able to pull off the heist as the DNC is facing a crunch for cash and has now put its own building in Washington, DC up as collateral to get a $15 million line of credit.

The DNC admitted to what it referred to as a “misdisbursement of Committee funds” in a letter from August 2025 to the FEC, saying that the incident was caused by “the result of fraudulent activity by an external third party.”

The DNC told the agency that it would take “further steps to avoid similar events in the future.”

EXCERPT:

Democrats’ path to retaking the House in November has significantly slimmed as a result of the mid-decade redistricting war this cycle, a new analysis found.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report found that under the newly drawn maps across 10 states, the number of “competitive” swing seats has dropped from 87 to 77. For Democrats to win control of the House, the party would need to win at least 57 of the 77 seats.

The Cook Political Report’s elections analysis defines competitive seats as districts that either party won in the past two presidential election cycles by 5 points or less. Under the old lines, Democrats would have needed to win 59 of the 87 competitive seats.

Republicans are expected to gain eight seats due to mid-decade redistricting, while Democrats could have a net gain of two. The redistricting fight began this cycle in Texas after President Donald Trump urged the state legislature to redraw its state lines to be more favorable to Republicans.

EXCERPT:

Francesca Hong is the latest Democratic Socialists of America darling to shoot to a surprising lead in a Democratic primary, this one for Wisconsin governor.

This has been a boon for U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, the unopposed Republican candidate for governor. He’s been noting that Hong, a former ramen shop owner and state assembly member, seems to echo a lot of the DSA’s radical agenda — including abolishing the U.S. Senate.

Hong’s campaign accused him of “telling lies and inventing quotes,” saying she never called for abolishing the Senate.

Except, of course, for that one time she posted on her current campaign account, “Abolish the Senate.”

The to-do began on Sunday, when DSA co-chair Megan Romer went viral for defending her positions on Fox News. This includes abolishing the police, abolishing prisons, abolishing the Senate, defunding the Department of War, and other such fun stuff.

“This sounds a lot like DSA-backed @FrancescaHongWI,” Tiffany said in an X post, along with the Romer video. “Socialism is knocking on Wisconsin’s door. This November, we slam it shut.”

I don’t anticipate a good election night for the right. If you don’t have hope, you can’t be disappointed. Know what I mean? However, hypothetically speaking, if Donald Trump and John Thune can get their sh*t together before then, we may be pleasantly surprised. While polls show voters don’t like us, it shows they hate the Democrat Party too. So it’ll come down to who they hate more on Election Day.

For example, Americans are concerned about the cost of living. That gets laid at the feet of the party in power, which am us. Affordability is not a hoax. Here’s the thing: when voters distrust one party when it comes to helping them, they tend to trust the other party by default. Not in 2026, and not these Democrats.

“The impact of Democratic policies on your cost of living…hurt or wouldn’t change it, the clear majority, nearly 3 in 5, 59%.”

On Monday, President Trump asked the Supreme Court to lift a block on his executive order that would significantly restrict mail-in voting ahead of midterms.

However, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson immediately denied the request just hours after it was filed.

Now, the Democrat-run plaintiff states have seven days to respond to the emergency application.

This means that a full ruling likely won’t take place for another week.

Trump’s Mail-In Voting XO Restored

pgnewser July 30, 2026 0

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is allowing President Trump’s executive order limiting mail-in voting to go forward. The court ruled the Democrats’ lawsuit is premature. The ruling increases the chances the President’s executive order will stand at least for the midterms, adding at least one layer of citizen verification to the questionable process of mass mailer voting.

EXCERPT:

In a blow to voters everywhere, a federal appeals court just made it easier for President Donald Trump to suppress mail-in voting. The midterms are three months away.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed a lower court’s decision Tuesday, arguing that a Democratic lawsuit challenging Trump’s mail-in voting executive order was premature. This result could have disastrous implications for the upcoming midterm elections: Not only does Trump’s executive order direct the Department of Homeland Security to create a national citizenship registry list, but it also orders the U.S. Postal Service to withhold mail-in ballots from states that don’t share voter registration data with the federal government.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added five candidates to its “Red to Blue” program on Tuesday, expanding its list of top recruits as Democrats work to reclaim the House majority in November.

The additions, spanning Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, and Montana, bring the committee’s flagship program to 30 candidates in competitive districts across the country.

“In less than 100 days, Democrats will take back the House majority and it will be powered by our incredible candidates such as the five named to Red to Blue today,” DCCC Chairwoman Suzan DelBene (D-WA) said in a statement. “Whether in suburban, rural or redistricted seats, the American people have soured on Republicans’ broken promises and failure to lower costs. Voters are outraged by higher prices on everything and a war of choice spiraling out of control. They are eager for change and new leaders who will fight for them, not be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump.”

The “Red to Blue” program provides Democratic candidates in competitive races with financial support, strategic guidance, and additional campaign resources. Candidates qualify based on factors including fundraising, grassroots engagement, local support, and campaign organization.
