Roy Cooper raised $3.4 million in the first 24 hours of his Senate campaign — a record-breaking sum for the former North Carolina governor in one of the most competitive upcoming Senate races.
The fundraising haul, shared first with POLITICO, includes more than $2.6 million raised directly to Cooper’s campaign account, with 95 percent of those donations totaling $100 or less, according to his team. The former governor raised another $900,000 into joint fundraising committees with the party, which allows for bigger contributions.
Cooper is likely to face Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley, who will launch his own Senate bid in the coming days with the backing of President Donald Trump. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis announced his plans not to seek reelection last month, after clashing with Trump over passage of his megabill that Tillis voted against.
North Carolina represents Democrats’ best offensive opportunity for the Senate, a battleground state the former governor has won twice with Trump on the ticket. Cooper, the party’s top recruit, was expected to bring in big cash for the race, after growing a national fundraising network during his stint as Democratic Governors Association chair. Whatley, who took over the RNC last year, has built his own national donor relationships, raising expectations that the race will be one of the most expensive in 2026.
Cooper’s first-day total cracks a Senate Democratic candidate record set by Amy McGrath, a fundraising juggernaut, who nonetheless failed to unseat Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell in 2020. McGrath raised $2.5 million in her first 24 hours as a candidate.
Project 2025 architect Paul Dans on Monday is launching a bid to primary Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, joining an increasingly crowded field.
“What we’ve done with Project 2025 is really change the game in terms of closing the door on the progressive era,” Dans told the Associated Press. ”If you look at where the chokepoint is, it’s the United States Senate. That’s the headwaters of the swamp.”
Dans on Monday morning also reposted the Associated Press’ story announcing his South Carolina senate primary challenge, saying “Have some news this morning.”
Dans worked in the White House during President Donald Trump’s first term. His bid may present a unique challenge for Graham, who — though he has already secured Trump’s endorsement — has found himself at odds with the president on several occasions. In 2024, after Graham urged Trump to focus more on policy during his reelection campaign, Trump responded he doesn’t “care what he says.”
“Lindsey wouldn’t be elected if I didn’t endorse him,” Trump said.
One of the leading voices on Project 2025, Dans told the AP he expects to have the support of the project’s allies as well as some of Trump’s supporters.
Graham is seeking his fifth term as Republicans attempt to hold onto their 53-47 majority in the Senate during the 2026 midterms. Dans said it’s “time to show him the door.” Graham did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Dans will officially announce his campaign at a Charleston event Wednesday.
Project 2025, the 900-page set of conservative policy proposals, dominated conversations during the 2024 presidential election. Though Trump insisted the plan — created by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation — was unrelated to his campaign, many of its architects, including Dans, have been involved with the Trump administration at some point or another.
Food dye and ADHD: FDA commissioner says listen to parents | The Conversation
FDA's Makary on 'male-dominated' culture of medical research | The Conversation
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Martin Makary is getting lobbied by the MAHA movement to restrict food dyes and ultra-processed foods, as well as by the food, agriculture and pharmaceutical industries to reduce government oversight.
“We want to go bold and there are a lot of things to do,” Makary tells POLITICO’s Dasha Burns. “But we also want to find common ground and work incrementally.”
At the same time, he says, “The amount of pressure I feel from industry or other branches of government is zero.” Makary also discusses how the agency is addressing women’s health and access to mifepristone, what he calls a “child vaping epidemic,” and explains the rationale behind FDA staffing cuts as well as some controversial hires.
Plus, White House reporter Jake Traylor joins Burns to discuss the mood inside the White House amid the fallout over the Jeffrey Epstein story, why President Trump is “itching” to get back on the campaign trail ahead of the 2026 midterms and whether GOP candidates in swing districts will welcome him.

FDA head Marty Makary on food dyes, ultra-processed foods and the MAHA agenda | The Conversation
Democratic leaders are feeling pressure to join a brewing redistricting battle that is threatening to upend the midterms landscape — an effort that is likely to slam into legal and political reality.
As Texas Republicans pressed forward with a redistricting blitz designed to increase the number of red seats in the state, officials in the biggest Democratic states scrambled for a response. In New York, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke with Gov. Kathy Hochul in recent days to discuss what a counter-effort could look like. California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration talked to state election officials about the logistics and timing of a special election to overturn its nonpartisan commission. And Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker joined Newsom in meeting with Texas Democratic lawmakers on Friday about a strategy for stalling the GOP’s brazen attempt to carve out five new seats, per President Donald Trump’s demand.
The problem is Democrats don’t have many options. In conversations with more than a dozen state lawmakers and redistricting experts, Democrats' best shot at redrawing a map lies in California, a heavily blue state with a huge number of congressional districts. They see the second-best option in New York, which saw Democratic gerrymandering efforts sputter in recent years, and Illinois, which is already a heavily pro-Democrat gerrymander. Far less likely options lie with Maryland and New Jersey, which have just four Republican-held seats between them.
Discussion of these options come as a debate rages within the party over whether to play hard ball to the same degree as Republicans.
“At this moment, it seems very clear that self defense is something we have to put as a priority,” said Maryland House Majority Leader David Moon, who introduced a bill this week that would force open Maryland’s redistricting process if another state pursues redistricting ahead of the U.S. Census. “If that’s where we are, and that’s where we’re forced to go, then I think that’s where Democratic states need to be prepared to go.”
Trump is pushing Republicans in an aggressive effort to redraw maps in hopes of holding onto the House in a potentially unfriendly midterms cycle. Efforts are already underway in Texas, where Trump wants to draw five additional GOP seats, and in Ohio, where Republicans hope to draw additional red districts during a legally mandated redistricting. Punchbowl News recently reported Trump is pressuring Missouri to rip up its own map ahead of the midterms, too.
All of this has sparked outrage from the Democratic base, but Republicans feel bullish about a midterms map that is reshaped by partisan redistricting.
“In an arms race where there’s a race to gerrymander the most, there’s not a scenario where they have more seats than we do,” said a GOP operative, granted anonymity to speak about party strategy.
Newsom has been the most strident of all the Democratic governors who lead trifectas in his vow to counter Texas Republicans, vowing on Friday to “put a stake into the heart” of the Trump administration by preventing Republicans from retaining the House.
But the obstacles are steep: Redrawing California’s map would require either calling a special election and convincing voters to return line-drawing power to politicians after they specifically voted to entrust a nonpartisan commission with that authority, or simply having the Legislature draw maps and effectively daring the courts to stop them.
“I don’t think it’s doable. I think there are too many constitutional constraints,” said Bruce Cain, a Stanford political scientist who was deeply involved as a staffer in the partisan gerrymanders from a prior era of California politics.
It's not just a legal obstacle. Undertaking redistricting would open up a huge "political fight" within the party by redrawing districts some politicians have run in for multiple cycles, he said. “You’d be borrowing from different kinds of Democrats and sticking them into other seats and the politics of that would be very complex,” Cain added.
But Newsom, who has his eye on running for president in 2028, has been steadily laying the groundwork anyway. He hosted Texas Democrats at the governor’s mansion in Sacramento on Friday, doing his part to project a united national front against Republicans, and told reporters he was weighing several options to expand Democrats’ margins beyond their current, disproportionate hold on 43 of 52 House seats.
“The question I imagine many folks are asking here in California is: what do the politics of Texas have to do with the politics here in California?” Newsom told reporters on Friday, flanked by Texas lawmakers. “The answer is everything.”
Lawmakers and operatives who were initially caught off guard or skeptical of Newsom’s proposal are increasingly becoming convinced California has the authority and the political will to respond to Texas in kind. Sharing maps of a potential Democratic gerrymander has become a favorite pastime.
“I’ve seen a map that's legal, upholds the Voting Rights Act, and produces 49 to 50 Democratic seats,” said Matt Barreto, a pollster and director of UCLA’s Voting Rights Project who polled for the Harris campaign and advised the Biden White House. California currently has 40 Democrats and 12 Republicans in Congress. “This is something lawmakers should consider if Texas goes first.”
In New York, Jeffries’ staff spoke with Hochul’s office recently to discuss redistricting New York’s House seats, two people with direct knowledge of the conversation said. On Thursday, Hochul declared that “all’s fair in love and war” regarding returning to contentious congressional map redraw.
“If there’s other states violating the rules and are trying to give themselves an advantage, all I’m going to say is, I’m going to look at it with Hakeem Jeffries," she said.
Even if state lawmakers plow ahead with redistricting, something the state Constitution says can only be done once per decade, the process would likely take more than a year to complete and may not be finished in time for the 2026 midterm elections.
New York tried an aggressive gerrymander that got blocked by the courts in 2022, and a court-drawn map was used instead. Democrats later drew a new map that is far less aggressive.
Hochul’s political allies believe there is little upside to drawing new lines.
“I understand those in New York who are watching what’s happening in Texas and Ohio want to offset their unfair advantage,” said New York Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs. But “the constitution seems pretty clear that this redistricting process should be done every 10 years. I don’t know where someone could interpret it as something you can do every two years.”
Beyond Texas, Republicans have their eye on picking up seats in other states like Missouri and Florida — which would put Democrats in a tough spot, given they don’t have as much leeway to squeeze out extra seats.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was noncommittal when asked by reporters earlier this week if he plans to pursue redistricting, noting that it’s “too early to make any definitive statement about it.” But he echoed what many other Democrats across the country have said when talking about the possibility of early redistricting: “Never bring a knife to a gunfight.”
New Jersey has its own constitutional impediment, which states that congressional districts, which are drawn by an independent commission, “shall remain unaltered through the next year ending in zero in which a federal census for this State is taken.”
Even if they were able to circumvent the state constitution, Democrats already have the majority in the New Jersey congressional delegation, and just two seats — the 7th, held by Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr., and the 9th, held by Democratic Rep. Nellie Pou — are considered battlegrounds.
Even some other Hail Mary options seem off the table. State lawmakers in Washington, Minnesota and Colorado balked at the suggestion they should pursue drawing new maps in the next few months.
“It’s just not in the cards,” said Washington House Majority Leader Joe Fitzgibbon, citing the requirement that a two-thirds majority is needed in both the state House and Senate to reconvene the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission.
And Minnesota State Sen. Aric Nesbitt shut down the idea quickly: “We're not power-crats, we’re Democrats. We should do things that improve democracy, even if that means sometimes we don't get our way.” Democrats hold the governorship and state Senate in Minnesota, but Republicans narrowly control the House.
In Colorado “there’s really no debate,” said former Senate Leader Steve Fenberg, who helped create the state’s independent redistricting commission in 2018.“We’re at a juncture right now where the threat is so overwhelming that I don’t think Democrats should rule out responding in kind,” he said. “But in a state like Colorado, I don’t think it’s really in our DNA to do this kind of action and it's not constitutionally allowed.”
Still, with a potentially tougher cycle ahead of them than they were anticipating given all of Trump's strategy, redistricting is sure to be a hot topic of conversation as Democratic governors gather at the National Governors Association meeting this weekend in Colorado.
“I suspect as the Democratic governors get together for a drink or a coffee, this will be high on the agenda,” Murphy said.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating remains underwater. But Democrats are faring worse, according to a new poll from The Wall Street Journal released Saturday.
The new survey, conducted by Democratic pollster John Anzalone and Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, found Democrats’ popularity at its lowest point in three decades of WSJ polling, with 63 percent of voters holding an unfavorable view of the party.
Only 33 percent of voters hold a favorable view of Democrats, with a meager 8 percent holding a “very favorable” opinion, for a net negative favorability of 30 percentage points.
While voters still have significant concerns over the president’s and the Republican Party’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs and foreign policy, the majority of respondents nonetheless say they trust Republicans more to handle those issues in Congress.
Despite criticism of the administration’s handling of inflation — disapproval outweighed approval by 11 points in the poll — the Republican Party, by 10 points, is trusted more than Democrats to deal with inflation.
That’s the same case when it comes to thoughts on the president’s drastic tariffs policy.
By 17 points, voters disapproved of Trump’s handling of tariffs, while still trusting Republicans more on the issue to Democrats by 7 points.
Health care and vaccine policy are the only two policy issues in which respondents favor Democrats to Republicans on.
Both Trump and the Republican Party at large are also disliked by more Americans than liked, but by far lower margins than Democrats in this survey. The president has a -7 point net unfavorability, while the GOP is at -11 in the WSJ survey.
The Journal poll has found Trump’s favorability rating to be relatively stable through the beginning of his second term. But other recent surveys have found far lower approval ratings for Trump.
“The Democratic brand is so bad that they don’t have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party,” Anzalone told the newspaper. “Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they’re for and what their economic message is, they’re going to have problems.”
Despite widespread irritation of Democrats, voters still said that if an election was held today, they would back a Democrat for Congress over a Republican by 3 points, 46 to 43 percent. It’s still a drop from this time in 2017, six months into Trump’s first term, when Democrats held an 8-point advantage in that category.
The Journal polled 1,500 registered voters, conducted from July 16-20 by landline and cellphone. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

Die gar nicht so dunklen Abgründe
Segeln wir in die Dunkelheit menschlicher Abgründe? Nein. Wir segeln in Abgründe, aber diese Abgründe sind gleißend hell. Man muss nur das Licht anknipsen im Horror-Express, den man in die hinterste Ecke des Kellers verbannt hat. Das Schild darauf lautet "1933 bis 1945". Davor lehnt ein Banner: "Nie wieder Krieg, nie wieder Faschismus!" Niemand wäre auf die Idee gekommen zu sagen: "Ihr müsst wieder Krieg führen, wenn ihr die Wiederholung des Faschismus verhindern wollt. Denn die Geister aus dieser Geisterbahn leben noch. Und sie haben sich erneut materialisiert! Erschreckenderweise vor allem in den Nachkommen der Opfer von damals. In Russen und Israelis und sie nutzen diesen nach mindestens zwei Generationen verjährten Opferstatus um sich nicht nur in einen Mantel der Unangreifbarkeit zu hüllen, sondern sogar um Hilfe zu erheischen bei ihren Verbrechen. Doch damit nicht genug. Sie haben einen dritten im Bunde gefunden. Den führenden Mitstreiter gegen die Verbrechen von damals: Die USA.
Und es ist so, als hätten sie alle aus den Verbrechen von damals gelernt. Nicht etwa wie man verhindert, dass sie erneut begangen werden. Nein, man hat gelernt, sie auf die heutige Zeit anzuwenden. Alles worüber sie selbst in Nürnberg zu Gericht saßen. Verbrechen gegen den Frieden, Kriegsverbrechen und Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit.
Man kann Adornos "Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen" auch darauf herunterbrechen, dass Unrecht nie Unrecht legitimieren kann. Verbrechen keine Verbrechen. Schon gar nicht, wenn sich die neuen Verbrechen nicht als Rache gegen die Täter von damals richten, sondern gegen Dritte. Bestenfalls wird dieser Zusammenhang fadenscheinig konstruiert. So wie die angeblich von Nazis beherrschte Ukraine. Da ist man dann ganz schnell im Bereich der Spiegelung, die kein Land so beherrscht und nutzt wie die Sowjetunion und ihr selbsternannter Rechtsnachfolger Russland. Vom Kreml und seinen nationalen und internationalen Propagandaoutlets werden in den politischen oder militärischen Gegner so zuverlässig eigene Motive, Absichten und Taten hineinprojiziert, vom Kindermord bis zum Atomprogramm, dass man im Umkehrschluss genau bestimmen kann, was die russische Führung getan hat, tut oder beabsichtigt zu tun.
Und alle drei Staaten haben eine herausragende imperialistische Tradition. "The land of the free", das gerade die Freiheitsstatue, die alle Verfolgten strahlend empfing, nach El Salvador deportiert, wurde auf den Leichen von Millionen Indianern errichtet, denen man das Land raubte, das man anderen großherzig anbot. Und die weltweite Verteidigung von Freiheit und Demokratie ging nicht selten mit Eigennutz und Diktatorenunterstützung einher. Und die russiche Geschichte, von der Kiewer Rus bis zu einem Reich, das nicht nur Teile Europas, sondern den halben asiatischen Kontinent einnimmt, ist nicht weniger blutbesudelt. Und Israel? Vor rund 3300 Jahren wurde Kanaan blutigst von den Israeliten erobert. Vor rund 2700 Jahren wurden sie dort wieder vertrieben. Als Juden begannen in größeren Zahlen in Palästina einzuwandern und dort schließlich einen Staat gründen wollten, lebten dort ungefähr dreißigmal so viele arabische Bewohner wie jüdische. Was gibt es für eine Rechtfertigung, nach 3000 Jahren wieder Anspruch auf ein Land zu erheben?! Man muss die Manifestation der Masseneinwanderung und Landnahme wohl rechtlich akzeptieren, soweit sie von der UN unter dem Eindruck des Holocausts als Staatsgründung besiegelt wurde. Eine moralische Legitimation kann aber weder der Glaube sein, Anspruch auf das Land zu haben, noch eine vorangegangene Eroberung, noch der überlebte Genozid. Im Gegenzug hätte Israel zumindest auch einen Palästinenserstaat zu akzeptieren. Aktuell kann man allerdings auch dort von einer Spiegelung reden. Das was Israel jahrzehntelang dem Iran und seinen Terrortruppen vorgeworfen hat, nämlich eine eliminatorische Politik, betreibt jetzt Israel. Netanjahus Minister Smotrich hat es wörtlich genauso formuliert: Israelische Souveräntität "from the river to the sea". Ein Echo der palästinensischen Forderung, die in Deutschland unter Strafe steht.
Niemand ist ein besserer Mensch, weil er Deutscher oder Amerikaner ist, Muslim oder Jude oder gar einer herbeifantasierten Rasse angehört. Wir sind bessere Menschen, wenn wir uns an ethische Grundsätze halten. Und die Grenzen dieses Verhaltens verlaufen nie entlang von Grenzen, sondern quer durch Staaten und Völker. Auch wenn das unethische Verhalten von Staaten phasenweise institutionalisiert wird. Der Anspruch auf ethisches Verhalten hat allen Menschen und allen Staaten zu gelten. Ohne Ausnahme!
Doch zurück zum Horrorexpress. Seine Stationen heißen nicht nur Machtergreifung, Kristallnacht, Mauthausen, Auschwitz, Einmarsch in Polen und Einmarsch in Russland.
Seine Stationen heißen unter anderem Entlassung jüdischer Beamter, Entzug der Zulassung jüdischer Rechtanwälte, Ausschluss jüdischer Sportler aus Vereinen, Verlust ärztlicher Zulassungen, Widerruf von Einbürgerungen, Auftrittsverbot jüdischer Künstler, Prüfungsausschluss jüdischer Studenten, Ausschluss jüdischer Journalisten, Ausschluss aus betrieblichen Führungspositionen, Rassegesetze, Entzug des Erbrechts, Vermögensanmeldungen, Kennkarte J, Umbenennung von jüdischen Straßennahmen, "Sühneleistung" für Pogrome, Gewerbeverbot, temporäres Aufenthaltsverbot im öffentlichen Raum, Zwangsverkauf von Gewerbebetrieben, Entzug von Führerscheinen, Berufsverbot für Ärzte, Radioverbot, Kündigung der Telefonanschlüsse, Büchereiverbot, Judensternpflicht, Ausreiseverbot, Aberkennung der Staatsbürgerschaft, erste Deportationen. Das alles passierte lange vor der Wannseekonferenz. Und Vergleichbares lesen, hören und sehen wir heute, bezogen auf Ukrainer:innen, aus dem Donbass, aber vor allem täglich aus den USA. Bezogen auf Migranten, Greencard-Besitzer, Schwarze, Muslime, LGBTIs oder Frauen: Entlassungen aus Führungspositionen und Behörden, Ausschluss aus Sportvereinen, Ausschluss vom Militärdienst, Entfernung aus Gedenk- und Erinnerungsstätten und Archiven, Ausschluss aus der Sozialversicherung, Entzug des Aufenthaltsrechts, Entzug der Staatsbürgerschaft, Deportation von Staatsbürgern, die falsche Gesinnung reicht für die Deportation, Verhaftungen und Deportationen im Gestapo-Stil, "Säuberung" von Bibliotheken, Ignorieren von Gerichtsurteilen, Angriffe auf nicht genehme Justiz und Angriffe auf und Ausschluss und Gleichschaltung von Medien.
Das Bedrohlichste dabei: Die Externalisierung der Deportationen. An Privatunternehmen wie Blackwater und in andere Staaten, die nicht unter die nationale Jurisdiktion fallen. So wie die Vernichtungslager des Hitler-Regimes in Polen. Und das lässt Schlimmstes befürchten! Es ist eine Milchmädchenrechnung, dass ein Regime, dass in wenigen Wochen alle staatlichen Ausgaben gen Null fährt, während es sich selbst die Taschen vollstopft, nicht lange für die Unterbringung Hunderttausender bezahlen wird. Man wir sie umbringen lassen! Erst werden ein paar verlorengehen in der Bürokratie und wenn man sich daran gewöhnt hat, werden es beständig mehr werden. Und ich wage noch eine Prognose: Ein gemeinsamer Krieg Israels und der USA gegen den Iran ist eine beschlossene Sache. Verhandlungen werden nur noch alibimäßig geführt.
Genauso wie G. W. Bush noch mit dem Irak verhandeln ließ, als der Krieg schon längst beschlossen war. Für Typen wie Trump, Musk, Putin und Netanjahu ist ein Menschenleben weniger wert als ein Fliegenschiss. Wie ein Psychologe bei den Nürnberger Prozessen sagte: Faschismus ist letztlich nichts anderes als das völlige Fehlen von Empathie. Hannah Arendt stellte fest: Das Böse ist banal. Und Hannah Arendt lieferte auch die Erklärung, warum dieses empathiebefreite Böse so erfolgreich ist: "Der ideale Untertan totalitärer Herrschaft ist nicht der überzeugte Nazi oder engagierte Kommunist, sondern Menschen, für die der Unterschied zwischen Fakten und Fiktion, wahr und falsch, nicht länger existiert." Und das ist genau die Sorte Menschen, die heute wieder regemäßig trommelnd und trompetend durch österreichische und sächsische Kleinstädte ziehen. Erst gegen die "Coronadiktatur", dann für mehr CO2 zum Wohle der Wälder und jetzt für "Frieden mit Russland".
