WATCH: Vance brands Democrats as 'lunatics' at rally in Iowa | PBS News
"It's no mystery why Vance is here," Turek wrote in a fundraising appeal ahead of Vance's visit. "It's because his billionaire bosses are terrified that their grip over Iowa is slipping — and with it, their narrow Senate majority."…

JD Vance pitches himself as Trump’s political heir on day two of Republican midterm convention
Vice-president dog-whistled, exaggerated claims of success and echoed Trump talking points to excited audience…
Addressing Democratic “radicals”, whom he accused of wanting to destroy the nuclear American family, he boomed: “Stay the hell away from our kids.”
But it was also a speech aimed squarely at rallying the Maga faithful: attacking transgender rights, extolling the importance of American manufacturing and religious freedom, and accusing Democrats of “doubling down on the crazy”.
Vance showed a penchant, too, for Trump’s baseless statements, claiming that some Democrats in New York “cheered on” the slaughter of Jewish people on 7 October, and suggesting that a “new generation” of Democrats seek to defund the police and “abolish the border”.
“What is it that drives this new generation of radical Democrats? It’s not new policies. They’ll say the same stuff: defund the police, abolish the border, the green new scam. We’ve heard all this stuff before,” Vance said. He then tried out a new line: “I think that what’s new about them is what motivates them is a new type of hardcore hatred.”…

Trump, Vance to close out Republican convention Thursday night : NPR
Quick math puts the bill for this proposed "dividend" at more than $1 trillion. Plus, it's illegal to pay or be paid to influence voting.
House Democrats in Dallas Thursday to counter program the convention quickly attacked the announcement.
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., called the president a "known liar."
"The dividend is not happening," Garcia added. "[Trump] promised a dividend on tariffs. That didn't happen. He promised a dividend on DOGE. That didn't happen. He promised some strange, new dividend from Air Force One, what six months ago? That never happened."…

Weekly Roundup: JD Vance, the End Times, and the Antichrist (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
Brad and Dan break down JD Vance's wide-ranging interview with Gen Z podcaster Bryce Crawford, unpacking his comments on the end times, the possibility that the Antichrist is "living among us," and his oddly deflated answer about whether he's going to heaven — reading it all as Vance clumsily blending incompatible evangelical premillennial and Christian nationalist post-millennial theologies to court an audience he doesn't quite understand.
They also examine the wave of right-wing attacks on Gloria Steinem following her death, using her own words on the "traditional family" to explain why pluralism in family structures is treated as an existential threat by the Christian right.
Finally, they dig into new USPS mail-voting rules — including a whistleblower complaint and a tense court hearing before Judge Talwani — that could result in ballots being rejected over postmark delays ahead of the midterms, before closing with reasons for hope in independent medical groups' vaccine guidance and an unusually real consequence for a billionaire sports owner.

JD Vance reacts to airstrike that killed four at Iran wedding: ‘Things happen’
He also said that the conflict between the US and Iran, which has now stretched into a seventh month, and led to the deaths of 18 US service members, was not presently “a war”. The comment sparked immediate backlash from Democrats and critics.
“It’s unbelievable gaslighting,” Congressman Ro Khanna, a Democrat of California, said in a video posted to X.
“This is war,” he added. “You know who understands it’s a war? Donald Trump. He claims that we’re winning the war.”…

VP Vance zeroes in on El-Sayed during Michigan rally
In response to the Vance’s remarks, El-Sayed countered Monday with his own definition of “evil.”
“Evil is ripping healthcare away from working people in exchange for tax breaks for billionaires. Evil is making people pay more for groceries and gas while pushing for trade wars and actual war. Evil is dividing people for your own gain. Evil is selling out your morals for a little bit of power.
“Michigan is better than being lectured to by sock puppets from Ohio and Florida. We understand what’s at stake, and Michiganders will show you at the ballot box this November when we send Mike Rogers packing,” El-Sayed said in a press release...

Maine drug overdoses are down. Is Vance right that Trump’s border policies are the cause? – PolitiFact
After two decades of rising deaths, U.S. fatal overdoses declined by more than 21% from 2024 to 2025.
In Maine, fatal overdoses were about 20% lower in 2025 than in 2024. Overdose deaths also declined from 2023 to 2024.
Drug policy experts point to multiple factors for the declines, such as less availability of fentanyl and increased access to the overdose-reversing medication naloxone, which predate the Trump administration’s border policies...
