House Democrats and Republicans huddled separately Monday morning on member security, an issue that has become a critical priority for lawmakers following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Takeaways from FEC filing day

When we looked at our calendars on Wednesday, we were so happy to see that it was already the 20th of the month — committee filing day.

The House. The DCCC outraised the NRCC — no huge surprise there. The DCCC raised nearly $7.6 million in July and ended the month with $40.4 million in the bank. The NRCC raised more than $6 million and has $37.6 million in the bank.

Of note, the NRCC donated $300,000 to the National Republican Redistricting Trust on July 22.

The DCCC has fairly consistently outraised the NRCC each month this year, except in June, when the NRCC raised $18.1 million to the DCCC’s $12.7 million.

The Senate. Republicans fared better in the Senate. The NRSC outraised the DSCC by about $1 million.

The NRSC took in nearly $6.2 million in July and ended with $7.9 million in cash on hand. The committee spent nearly as much as it raised last month.

Meanwhile, the DSCC raised $5.1 million and ended with $11.8 million in the bank. It spent $6.8 million.

Senate Democrats have a pretty sizable cash-on-hand advantage here, although they still have outstanding campaign debt. The DSCC has $2.3 million left to pay back from last cycle, while the NRSC has none.

The parties. There’s a massive, massive money gap between the national party committees, and it could have a big impact both this fall and in 2026.

The DNC raised $8.5 million and had less than $14 million in the bank at the end of July. Compare that to the RNC, which raised $13 million last month and had a whopping $84.3 million on hand.

The 340B program was created to help patients. Instead, it’s helping hospitals earn massive profits. The 340B Rebate Model Pilot uses rapid verification of existing data to prevent duplicate discounts, strengthening program transparency and efficiency. Urge HHS to implement the Rebate Model Pilot and ensure 340B functions as intended. Get the facts.

The 340B program is supposed to help vulnerable patients—but without strong safeguards, it’s siphoning away funds that could be used for free and charitable medicine. The 340B Rebate Model Pilot improves program integrity, preventing duplicate discounts and strengthening accountability. Urge HHS to implement the pilot today. Learn why it matters.
