"What can Democrats do?" is the wrong question. Ask, "What would John Lewis do?" www.cnn.com/2016/06/22/p...

“DOGE wants terminations to happen ASAP. Thanks" White House OSTP director Kratios should resign or be impeached for lying to Congress, saying that this didn't happen.

🚨 FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA VOTERS! More than 7K voters had their registrations flagged over questions about their residential addresses, & the ACLU is raising serious concerns about errors. Check your voter status NOW. If it says “Challenged,” contact Fulton County Elections.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

the Real Misconduct is punishing misconduct, you see ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Pro-Lula Brazilians doing en masse digital organizing against the platforms is interesting. Basically took website/influencer growth hacking techniques—eg everyone go like/comment/share this, get the algorithm to pick it up—and applied them to electoral politics at a grand scale. Thread:

Transport issues in major capitals across Brazil right now, all major Lula-voting hubs, including the city of São Paulo. More arrest warrants for mayors across Brazil are currently being issued while the Labour Party tries to get voting times extended (polls are due to close in 95 minutes).

An arrest warrant has been issued against Salvador's secretary of transport, one of Brazil's largest Lula-voting hubs, for keeping dozens of buses off the streets today. Again: what’s happening in Brazil is criminal.

Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

Roberts *explicitly* stated that POTUS has immunity even for directing a “sham” prosecution or one with an improper purpose or motivation. He can also promise to pardon anyone who follows his orders. As AG says, what’s the downside, for anyone?

It’s almost like putting an insurrectionist back in office, where he immediately pardons his co-conspirators, was a terrible breach of the rule of law that should never have happened.

you cannot win the legal fight by attacking the pardons and you wouldn’t actually want that precedent anyway. you can only win by attacking the legitimacy of Trump.

The de facto officer doctrine won't save him because his legitimacy was notoriously in dispute = "no color."

That'a a nice photo of Brenda Diaz's illegally placed sign that no responsible government agency has bothered to remove.

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

This is all I can think about today. Thank you to every person holding on to their humanity in the face of this unrelenting cruelty ❤️

New: Low-info voters, who put Trump in the White House, now look even more anti-Trump than high-info voters, and give Dems bigger margins on the generic ballot. 1 out of 3 Trump voters who can't name the party in charge of Congress now back Dems for 2026. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/poll-low-i...

The fetishisation of "debate" as some sort of grand public good that everyone should do is so thoughtless and jarring to me because the more you actually do it the more it becomes apparent that genuinely constructive debate is actually a pretty niche thing.

Well done, confront them with facts. He has all the receipts. This is a lesson in journalism 👏👏

Hundreds of lawyers are spending election week in war rooms & courthouses, ready to file at a moment's notice More than a dozen national firms are in it w/ @democracydefendersaction.org & our complaints are already written Bring it on More @financialtimes.com👇 -TN

This is DEFCON 2 talk.

🚨 Todd Blanche can't explain any of this away; he doesn't have dementia. He's dead serious about working for his client Donald Trump when it comes to nullifying midterms. Press: wake up — Stephen Miller is running this WH via Trump. It's not just the babbling old man. 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

It's Elon or global democracy. Choose one.

Top officials in the State Department made clear that only candidates who voted for Trump would be eligible for the mid-to-upper level foreign service roles Federal law strictly prohibits making civil service personnel decisions on the basis of political affiliation

Deplorable.

Musk’s wealth is a threat to democracy—not just in the U.S. but everywhere. He’s probably the greatest threat to the free world today.

I will add my name to this, too. Another NIH scientist, not anonymous, declaring that RFK, jr. is destroying NIH. Don’t want to take my & @markhisted.org’s word for it? 39 current/recent NIHers put their name to this just a few months ago: www.27unihted.org/bethesda-dec...

John Roberts gave the president immunity. Nobody gave John Roberts immunity. Congress can impeach a chief justice. Pass it on.

To distract from the war and gas prices, Republicans want to distract you by focusing on somebody else’s junk and what toilet they use. It’s weird. #MAGAInYourBathroom #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is why I keep saying: if Dems are serious about accountability, they need to be ready to bull their way through the scolding & tut-tutting that is inevitably going to greet even the mildest attempts. It will come from Rs, from pundits, from journalists, from centrist Ds. It'll be relentless.

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

this is like a reverse "daisy." an ad so reprehensible that it detonates the candidate's campaign. tiffinohio.net/posts/acton-...

okay senator lets just help you into the hotdog costume

This is asking for a lawsuit. Wow.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Top Trump adviser Ric Grenell allegedly outlined a stunning pay-for-influence offer to a Turkish billionaire last year that included access to Trump, according to a text message reviewed by Axios that the White House counsel is investigating.

Watch this whole video. All the way to the end.

They're not even trying to be slick about it anymore. Billionaires are full on flop-sweating about the ass-whipping they're about to get.

Trump now completely out of the closet as Putin’s puppet. Things must be getting desperate if he can’t hide it any more.
