Democrats continue to rake in cash across some of the nation’s most pivotal Senate races, outpacing their Republican counterparts several times over. In Georgia, Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff has 20 times as much cash on hand as his Republican challenger, Rep. Mike Collins. In North Carolina, perhaps Democrats’ best pickup opportunity, former Gov. Roy Cooper outraised former RNC Chair Michael Whatley $8.2 million to $2.9 million. And in Texas, Democratic state Rep. James Talarico ended June with $21.5 million in the bank compared to $1.8 million for his GOP opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. But Republicans have a leg up in a handful of states that have gotten messy for Democrats, including Michigan and Maine, where the GOP has built up a cash advantage while primaries have prevented Democrats from sending their resources to a single candidate. That could challenge Democrats’ narrow path back to Senate control heading into the fall. The Senate battle map is nearly solidified with a handful of critical states left on the primary calendar. Democrats face a steep climb against Republicans, who benefit from a more favorable map and campaign-arm cash advantage. But Democrats' pipe dream to seize the upper chamber has become more realistic as the party fields a slate of star recruits with proven fundraising prowess — and as Republicans continue to grapple with high costs and an ongoing war in Iran. Democrats’ hopes were further buoyed Wednesday by their candidates’ second-quarter campaign finance reports, filed with the Federal Election Commission. “In key battleground races, Democrats are out-raising and out-polling many of their Republican counterparts,” said Adrienne Elrod, a national Democratic strategist who has advised numerous Senate and presidential campaigns. “All of this bodes well for a strong midterm for Democrats.” Republicans shrugged off the disparities, pointing to the recent Supreme Court decision relaxing rules around coordination between candidates and party campaign arms that will allow the GOP to flex its committee-level cash advantage . The National Republican Senatorial Committee had just shy of $49 million in the bank at the end of May compared to just under $39 million for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “Republicans have a massive advantage on the party committee level and were ready to hit the ground running following the Supreme Court decision on Super PACs,” said GOP strategist Doug Heye. “As the fundraising ground has shifted over the past several years, all of this gives reason for Republicans to be hopeful about holding the Senate.” Republicans are also building sizable cash advantages in some critical swing states where Democrats are slogging through contentious primaries. In Maine, Graham Platner’s exit — after POLITICO reported a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her years ago — has set off a scramble to succeed him on the ballot. Platner denied the allegations, but ended his bid after he hemorrhaged support. Democrats now stand at a massive financial disadvantage against GOP Sen. Susan Collins, who ended the second quarter with $11 million in the bank. Platner had raised a whopping $9 million in the second quarter, though his high burn rate meant he ended up with only $1.7 million cash on hand at the end of June. Democrats are racing to bankroll their next standard-bearer. The DSCC launched a fund for the eventual new nominee as soon as Platner dropped out. Another Democratic group, the grassroots organization Swing Left, said it plans to raise roughly $500,000 for the eventual nominee. Candidates running against Collins have generally been able to raise a lot of money in the past, but it’s not clear yet whether Platner’s successor will be able to recapture the small-dollar donor base that was electrified by his populist candidacy, especially with just a few months until Election Day. And in Michigan, Democrats Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens are burning through cash ahead of their Aug. 4 face-off — allowing the presumptive GOP nominee, former Rep. Mike Rogers, to build a sizable cash advantage heading into the general election. Rogers had stockpiled nearly $5.7 million heading into July, compared to Stevens’ $3.4 million and El-Sayed’s $2.7 million.

—Iana Kunitsa—Getty Images Mental health is a crucial component for wellness. While it’s estimated that more than 1 in 5 adults meet criteria for a major mental health disorder, many of us are experiencing increased anxiety that does not meet full criteria but interferes with our lives. Despite high rates of emotional distress, only about 14% of U.S. adults received mental health services over the past year. As a psychologist, I strongly believe in the effectiveness of mental health services. However, while psychotherapy works , the most important part of treatment happens after you leave the therapist's office. Therapy and mental health wellness work best when they are treated as a daily routine, not a weekly appointment. I often tell the trauma survivors that I work with that trauma takes away people’s power; it changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. I encourage people to take back their power by becoming lifelong learners and practicing a broad range of safe coping strategies. Approaching life with an openness and willingness to learn is essential. Seeking out and practicing effective coping skills is empowering. I reached out to Steve Martino , a professor at Yale who conducts research on Motivational Interviewing, an evidence-based approach to enhance individuals’ motivation for change. “Staying committed to daily therapeutic practices in between therapy sessions can be challenging,” he told me. “Revisiting our reasons for change, setting simple achievable daily goals and plans to reach them, and recognizing progress made each day can help keep us motivated.” Martino also trains mental health providers and peer specialists across the country in how to deliver Motivational Interviewing. He often encourages his trainees and sometimes his patients to read Finding Your Way to Change . The text provides self-reflective exercises and practical tools to apply Motivational Interviewing principles to support positive goal-directed change. Many of us don’t have time or attention to read a book. So, one way to engage in this on our own (or with the support of friends, family members, communities) is to identify and set goals, create a wellness plan, and healthily motivate ourselves to take steps towards those daily. Daily necessities like eating, bathing, and brushing our teeth are crucial to good hygiene and wellness. On that list, we must add dosing ourselves with motivation, such as adding a powerful phrase to remind us why we are doing what we are doing. This can be an intention we set first thing in the morning and throughout the day to keep us grounded in the work and on track. For example, “Today I will stay focused on being true to my values,” or “Today I choose to meet work challenges with patience and grace,” or “Today I choose connection over arguments.” Think of this phrase as a kind of positive fuel to help you get up and get through hard days. I also tell the people I work with that no person is an island. We need others for connection and support . If we don’t have a strong network, we need to encourage ourselves to build one. Years ago, I was working with a veteran with PTSD, and he told me his goal was to get married. “Great,” I replied, “Do you have a girlfriend?” It turned out that he didn’t have a girlfriend, know any suitable partners, and rarely left his apartment. We set some steps to reach his goal: leave his apartment at least several times a week, take a community college class, attend small social gatherings where he could potentially meet appropriate partners, and ask a woman out for a coffee or to a movie. We talked about how it was impossible to meet his goal without choosing to take small steps. When we are feeling depressed, anxious, and super stressed, we often have a tough time clearly seeing our skills, assets, strengths, and capabilities. This is also indispensable to our confidence-building. If you don’t know your strengths or are unable to see them, you can work with a therapist or a friend to identify and develop your strengths . As I tell my patients, “You have strengths, or you wouldn’t be in my office.” Recognizing that you can’t and shouldn’t go it alone seems like a vulnerability or weakness, but it is a strength. When we allow supportive people into our lives, are willing to self-reflect, and commit to doing the hard work to bring about positive change, we are already being resourceful, tapping into our courage and tenacity. A lot of the people I work with, myself included, can get stirred up by their newsfeeds . It’s easy to fall into the traps of hyperarousal and doomscrolling. It draws us in like moths to light, and we tend to go deeper and stay in that jacked-up state. This is harmful to our brains, spirits, and bodies. I am not suggesting we don’t stay informed, active, and engaged in our world, and help to make it a better place. But if all we choose to take in is doom and gloom, that’s all we are going to get. And that won’t make us helpful to ourselves or others. It’s important to take in positive and aspirational information and build and glow on it throughout the day. This is going to be different for all of us and can come from unexpected places. Interestingly, I recently took my own advice. My husband and I had a couple in their 80s over for dinner. The husband served in Vietnam and is one of the most balanced and brilliant individuals I know. He handed me a book, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and The Art of Living , and told me to read a page every day. Immediately, I thought, “I’m a working mama with three kids and two dogs. I barely have time to shower some days!” But then I paused and saw the book as the gift it was intended to be. I open it every morning and use it as a positive daily dose of inspiration. Healing often starts with therapy. But it is only possible when the lessons of therapy, like goal setting, motivation, and safe coping, actually become part of your daily life.

A 2025 U.S. penny is seen in Foster City, Calif. on Nov. 16, 2025. —Tayfun Coskun—Anadolu/Getty Images Since the final batch of American pennies for circulation was minted in November last year , consumers and businesses across the country have resorted to various ways of managing transactions pennilessly. A bipartisan proposal, however, offers to standardize the process in support of the smallest-value coin’s phaseout. On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed the Common Cents Act , which would introduce rounding guidelines for cash transactions when exact change is unavailable and would legally end penny production other than for sale as numismatic or collection items. Under the bill , the penny would remain legal tender and would keep its one-cent value, but the bill outlines how persons and businesses may—but are not required to—round cash transactions if exact change cannot be provided. Generally, if an amount has 1, 2, 6, or 7 as the last cent digit, it can be rounded down to the nearest nickel. On the other hand, if an amount ends with 3, 4, 8, or 9 as the last cent digit, it can be rounded up. For small-amount transactions worth $0.01 or $0.02, the amount may be rounded up to $0.05 for those seeking to pay with cash. Electronic transactions and other non-cash payments like checks and gift cards would still use the exact amount to the last cent for the transaction. The U.S., under President Donald Trump, bid the penny goodbye last year , as the cost to make one cent is nearly 3.7 times its face value. But while the government has stopped manufacturing new pennies for circulation, the Treasury Department said the Federal Reserve will still recirculate roughly 114 billion pennies “for as long as possible.” Because of the phaseout, however, some businesses and consumers raised concern over increased costs related to rounding transactions to the nearest nickel. The National Restaurant Association argues that many restaurant operators, out of fear of possible litigation, have opted to round down costs to the nearest nickel when exact change wasn’t available. A prolonged period of rounding down could cost restaurants up to $168 million yearly, the association added. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond projected in a July brief last year that rounding to the nearest nickel could cost U.S. consumers about $6 million annually. Industry groups lauded the passage of the Common Cents Act, a bipartisan effort sponsored by Reps. Robert Garcia (D, Calif.) and Lisa McClain (R, Mich.). The bill now heads to the Senate. “The House recognized the need for certainty to protect cash transactions, support consistency across the country, and resolve an issue that has been negatively impacting millions of businesses nationwide,” Evan Armstrong, the senior vice president of government affairs of the Retail Industry Leaders Association, said in a statement . Sean Kennedy, chief advocacy officer at the National Restaurant Association, said in a statement that the bill’s passage could reduce “unnecessary friction between restaurants and the guests they serve” and inject “a degree of uniformity into the most basic transactions involved in running a restaurant.”
