Maggie in Massachusetts

If you follow me, you'll notice that I changed my display name to Maggie in Massachusetts. Some idiot hacked my account this weekend, so I've tweaked my profile. This is my only legit account.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 In 19th-century Charleston, SC, urban slavery gave rise to a unique and chilling tool of control: Charleston Slave Badges. Who knew? 🤔 Pull up a seat🪑, my friends. #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory relicrecord.com/blog/charles...

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.

To everybody’s dad who’s been watching those TV ads about me 👇🏾 I don’t have big money for ads, so let me talk to you directly. I’m going to protect your Social Security. I’m going to protect your Medicare. I’m going to make billionaires pay what they owe.

After waiting hours for their loved ones, families were reunited with released ICE detainees. FREE THEM ALL!!!

"Witnessing such a young elephant lose its life to trophy hunting is a painful reminder of why we cannot allow this to continue.Together, let's demand stricter regulations and an immediate ban on trophy hunting. Our wildlife deserves better. #BanTrophyHuntingNow"

Epstein lent his lawyer $7 million and never asked for it back. Helped him buy two homes. Paid for his IVF. New Mexico just put all of it in a lawsuit, and the number the state wants frozen is bigger: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-foug...

Real screencaps from Don Jr's "hunting trip" in Mongolia with his new Kremlin handler, Umar Kremlev. Taxpayers paid $18,715 to put up his Secret Service details for 14 days, but if they were in hotel rooms, I guess they didn't get to hunt? www.ft.com/content/f41f...

While you were sleeping: DOJ files superseding complaint, adds obstruction counts in case against former FBI agents Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides Preliminary hearing set for today at 11 am. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Republicans have no answers for how this Illegal war in Iran is helping the American people. There are real issues at stake here that they should be focusing on, but they just won't.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I’m really tired of Republicans slandering Abdul and lecturing Jewish voters who support him. But not Trump having dinner with known antisemite Nick Fuentes or Trump’s father getting arrested at a KKK rally. Those are way more REAL and DISTURBING connections than anything in Abdul’s background.

We could easily have taken that same money as a wealth tax.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

NYT reports Trump called Musk to ask him to restore full Starshield service to Ukraine. This, after previous reports they'd colluded to throttle speeds that slowed Ukraine's use of drones for defense/attacks. Republicans, why are these two harming a democratic nation to aid an authoritarian one?

Hmm. It's almost as if Trump is indebted to Putin and rushing to give Russia a victory in Ukraine before Democrats take the House and Senate in the midterms and impeach him early next year. But surely a U.S. president would not do that, right, Republicans? Right, MAGA?

Trump threatens to withhold compensation to victims of contaminated water at Camp Lejeune if North Carolina backs Democrats in the midterms. MAGA veterans, are you OK with this?

JUST IN: Judge Gleason in Alaska sounds deeply skeptical of DOJ's 11th hour lawsuit there to halt certification if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. She grants Dems' motion for expedited consideration and notes DOJ waited four months to sue over the ballot. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Mildly amused at James Comey being charged again by the Trump administration days before the election. It’s bullshit, and I hope it gets tossed quickly, but the irony was not lost on me.

It’s amazing how much Trump hates James Comey, given he wouldn’t be president without him.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

Just a reminder that 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton claimed he broke the Theranos story a year after John Carreyrou did. Dude just can’t help it….

Republicans have nothing but the same tired playbook they've been using for decades. Every Democrat can't be a communist, they're just scared about how terribly they're about to do in these midterms...

I'll be a poll worker from 10/31 to 11/3. You bet I'm going to keep an eye out for voter fraud. Chances are much higher that it'll be a MAGA than an undocumented immigrant. Can't wait to be a millionaire.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

NEW: I'm in the Comey docket now. Comey petitioned the court to unseal this case, which Judge McFadden granted today. That's why we're getting this news now 1/

BREAKING: The DOJ has charged JAMES COMEY (on information, no grand jury indictment) with violations of the ESPIONAGE ACT going back to 2016. They charged this exactly 10 years after they allege the "crime" occurred: equal to the statute of limitations. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“20,000 for 2 weeks… we don’t want a handout… farmers are having auctions and quitting quit…” When will @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn stand up for Tennessee farmers?

Let’s remember this on Election Day. It only works if you show up to do your part. Vote blue if you’re anti-fascism. We cannot allow criminals to continue burning America to the ground. Well done, Brazil. You understood the assignment and aced it.

Federal judge says Maureen Comey was unlawfully fired by Trump and is eligible for back pay: wapo.st/4BpTiJs

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

🚨🚨🚨Trump just made another comment about how his “two big monsters” will make history next week. “So, I wonder if I should say this. I’d like a little advice from my two people, my two big monsters. My two monsters are going to be the biggest stars in the country in a week.”

A Cheesecake Factory in Rochester's deep blue Pittsford plaza might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over a mournful discussion of Jim Leonhard's porous defense, you can hear whispers that DEI is the reason the Chicken Bellagio is $27.

Whether it's Elon Musk cutting off the Starlink access that protects Ukrainians from Russian missiles or Ukraine cutting off Russian bot servers that give Elon his X likes and retweets, both sides have escalated a deadly feud.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

This is to het up the blood of his cretin brigades so they disrupt polling places. No one is ever getting a million bucks out of him.

Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks. Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook. Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.

Whether it’s Republicans openly demanding bribes or Democrats investigating the payment of bribes, both parties have created a tense and politicized environment for CEOs.

For working people across the country, Donald Trump’s affordability crisis is making it harder than ever to get by. We need to secure a democratic majority this November and make life more affordable for all.
