What does one-party, Democrat rule look like, you ask? Rebecca Bennett and Nellie Pou's scandal-plagued BFF Mikie Sherrill has the answer to that. Hint: It's not good.
Since taking office earlier this year, we've already learned that NJ Dems put thousands of non-citizens on the voter rolls, and now, we're learning that Sherrill's hand-picked Lt. Governor allegedly engaged ininappropriate behavior toward women.
Sadly, despite NJ Dems' disastrous record, Rebecca Bennett and Nellie Pou proudly standby the Party's leaders.
"New Jersey Democrats are driving the state into the ground: From allowing non-citizens to vote and undermine democracy to appointing disgusting men to leadership positions, Democrats simply cannot be trusted. New Jersey families deserve representatives who can focus on what matters and get the job done." - NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole

On the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, Americans Cannot Forget that Democrats Sided with Those Who Hate America
September 11, 2026
On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, New Yorkers need to know that radical Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen betrayed the heroic first responders and survivors of that tragic day.
Suozzi and Gillen callously voted against funding for the World Trade Center Health Program, which provides health care at no cost for 9/11 first responders and survivors.
Andwhy did they do it? To bend the knee to their extreme Party that embraces those who believe America "deserved 9/11."

Dem Long Island House members bragged about 9/11 health program -- then voted against it: GOP
New York Post

[...]
The Long Island pair voted with most Democrats in a vote against federal bill HR 7148, which passed on Feb. 3 in a narrow 217-214 vote before it was signed by President Trump to end a four-day partial government shutdown.
But both Suozzi and Gillen had bragged in a January press release about supporting a bipartisan spending package to "Secure Lifetime Funding for the World Trade Center Health Program," the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee noted.
Just days later, they voted against the compromise bill from the Senate that included funding for the program.
"Two-Faced Tom Suozzi and Lying Laura Gillen stabbed 9/11 heroes and survivors in the back," said NRCCC spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole.
"And why? They did it to bend the knee to their extreme Party that embraces those who say America 'deserved 9/11.' Their vote is disqualifying, and Suozzi and Gillen will answer for it in November."
[...]
The law funds the World Trade Center Health program, which provides medical coverage and care to 9/11 responders and survivors.
In addition, the law updates the program's formula through the year 2040 to help keep up with rising medical costs as more people get sick from toxic exposure decades after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that toppled the WTC's Twin Towers.

DFL State Fair Booth Soars to Second Highest Sales Year in History
The DFL raised over $300,000 in merchandise sales during the 2026 State Fair. Sales increased nearly 27% compared to 2025.
ST. PAUL - Today, the Minnesota DFL announced that its State Fair booth generated over $300,000 in merchandise sales during the 2026 Minnesota State Fair, marking the second-highest sales total in party history.
The 2026 total was more than $65,000 higher than in 2025,which set the non-election year merchandise record.
Minnesotans are united in our momentum. Of the 5,574 DFL tee shirts sold in 2026, 1,528 were the "Minnesota Strong" Rebel Loon shirt. The party also sold over $16,000 in DFL buttons, 1,283 campaign shirts, and 3,940 campaign buttons.
The 2026 Minnesota State Fair drew 1.9 million visitors from all over the state and the country -- proving yet again that the Great Minnesota Get-Together is the best in the nation.
In response to the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by State Fair attendees, Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chair Richard Carlbom released the following statement:
"Minnesotans are strongest when we show up for one another, and that's exactly what we saw at the State Fair. People came to the DFL booth to share their stories, listen to leaders, and stand with each other. This year, we saw Republicans choosing to stand with Trump instead of the people of Minnesota. Our top selling "Minnesota Strong" shirt captures a different spirit: We're with you, and we're in this together. That's what makes us Minnesota strong."

Demuth's education record:
* Voted against a nearly $2.3 billion boost in education funding
* Voted against funding to help local school districts pay for teachers.
* Opposed a bipartisan bill that provided free breakfast and lunch to all Minnesota students in participating eligible schools.

IN THE STATES: Republicans Throw Multi-Million Dollar "Trump-a-Palooza" To Worship Trump While Americans Drown From Skyrocketing Costs
This week, all-too-eager-to-please Republicans and their wealthy donors gathered in Dallas to throw a multi-million-dollar "Trump-a-Palooza," worshiping Donald Trump's failed agenda that's skyrocketing costs, tanking our economy, taking healthcare away from families, and forcing millions of Americans to cut back and go into debt.
Trump promisedhe would lower costs on Day One, yet Americans are paying more for just about everything. This week, Trump's war with Iran drove diesel prices to an all-time high while gas prices continue to soar -- with Trump admitting costs won't come down until after the midterms, continuing to defend the war, doubling down on his reckless tariffs, and making promises that he can't keep.
The contrast couldn't be clearer: While Republicans throw themselves a party to stroke the ego of an unpopular president, working families are struggling to make ends meet amid the affordability crisis Republicans created.

* Nationwide: Associated Press: Diesel prices are hitting record highs at a bad time for many US farmers
* Nationwide: CNN: Americans are still struggling with high gas prices. The pain will likely continue this fall
With just over 50 days left until the election, Republicans are taking a clear look at their reality: A fracturing voter base and approval ratings in the gutter, and now they are scrambling to distance themselves from Trump's failing agenda as much as possible. Some vulnerable Republicans even hid from the convention altogether, choosing to cut their losses rather than be seen on Trump's sinking ship. However, voters see right through their antics, and they're not falling for it. Make no mistake: Americans are fed up, and no amount of spin will bury the fact that families are far worse off than they were when Trump retook office.

While Trump and Republicans put on their dog-and-pony show, Democrats were on the ground rallying voters and making sure they knew exactly how to use their voice to put a stop to Republicans' chaos and corruption at the ballot box this November. In Dallas and beyond, Democrats remained laser-focused on the work that wins elections -- from registering new voters and making phone calls, to knocking on doors and organizing community events. Democrats are entering the homestretch of the campaign cycle with the wind at their backs, offering a positive vision that working families can get behind.

DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement on the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001:
"For twenty-five years, Americans have carried the painful memory of the September 11 attacks. Every day since, we as a nation have vowed to never forget those who were killed in New York, at the Pentagon, and on Flight 93. We have remembered the first responders and rescue workers who sacrificedtheir lives, and have stood with the families and loved ones of those who perished.
"In the weeks and months after the attacks, our nation came together with common purpose and unified resolve -- donating blood, providing humanitarian relief, and even joining the effort to clear the rubble at Ground Zero. It didn't matter where we lived, how we voted, or to whom we prayed. Americans stood together and lived up to our founding motto: out of many, one.
"Today, we must choose, once again, to stand with one another. We must continue to honor the lives that were lost, the service members and veterans who answered the call to protect our country in the years since, and the first responders and survivors who continue to face illness from toxic exposure."
