It was actually our 250th anniversary.
Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.

It’s time to start flipping tables.
One week until we send James Talarico to the U.S. Senate. 🤘
Flipping the House runs through @new_poli servant leaders. Our 20 House challengers make up a third of the DCCC’s Red to Blue list. When Democrats win the majority next week, these leaders will be a big reason why. newpolitics.org/flip-the-hou…

RATING CHANGE: Sabato's Crystal Ball shifted #CO05 toward Army veteran Jessica Killin
Leans R ➡️ Toss-Up
@killinforco is a fourth-generation Coloradan who has committed her life to serving her country. She’s ready to bring competence, courage, and character back to Congress.
So maybe grandmas money under the mattress wasn’t so crazy?
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

PAT RYAN: When we retake the majority in two weeks, on behalf of the American people, and especially our military families, Pete Hegseth is gonna see oversight like he has never seen before.
Better buckle up, Pete.

JAMES TALARICO: My faith teaches me servant leadership, the idea that being a leader means being a servant. And over four terms in the Texas House, I've tried to serve my constituents in Central Texas, and I'm looking forward to doing that in the U.S. Senate.
Love her so much! @SpanbergerForVA is the real deal.
"All of our problems are solvable and we're the ones to solve them."
That's been @MikeJohnstonCO's mantra in Denver, and the results back it up: unsheltered homelessness is down 64% since 2023. This is what mission-driven leadership looks like.

He parties with fugitives in Dubai.
He celebrates America’s 250th in London.
He drags taxpayer-funded security to 19 countries.
Ken Paxton will travel anywhere but a debate stage in Texas.
This is the most Brooklyn thing ever.
Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me. Wow, dude. You’re an idiot and just lost a huge sale. But y’all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. For sure, check it out 👎
Read a story in the @TheAtlantic this weekend and couldn't stop thinking about it so I wrote a piece. substack.com/home/post/p-218…

Being a parish pastor taught me to show up where people are. In my 9 years at the DMARC food pantry, I learned how to bring people together on our common ground to solve problems. That's the kind of leadership Iowans need right now and that's the service I'll bring to Washington.
Don’t sleep on @yasminradjy. Swing Left has always been a good org but she’s exceptional. Excited to see the impact Swing Left will have this cycle
One month out from Election Day, we’ve refreshed our target map one last time 🗺️
The political team at @SwingLeft has been tracking races across the country, looking at polling, voting trends, fundraising, and what we’re seeing on the ground. Based on their analysis, we added 6 more U.S. House races and 2 more governor’s races to our Must-Win target list of swing districts and states.
That brings our targets to 90 races and 21 state legislatures.
These are the state and national races that will decide our balance of power, and grassroots dollars and hours go the furthest here. Visit swingleft.org/funds to donate.
