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.”

It was everybody business when the Republicans were on Hunter Biden for weeks and weeks.. Of course it’s our business to know who, what, where, this 20 year old is getting so much money from? They Investigated Hunter, time to Investigate Barron Trump..

The president doesn’t have some mysterious ability to do whatever he wants Republicans at every level - Senate, House, appointees, State and Local officials, midterm candidates — enable him, have chosen not to stop him even though they could

Fantastic news in our defense against Donald Trump's attacks on our Constitution and elections. Make no mistake: Trump won't stop trying to illegally seize power or deface our democracy. California will keep fighting back.

It is genuinely weird that Trump has spent his whole life surrounded by extraordinary wealth and still has the absolute trashiest, tackiest taste imaginable.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

*man of the people* Billionaire @SecScottBessent tries to make Obama seem out of touch by pretending he has ever gone to a Cheesecake Factory before in his life LOL 😂 These guys are so ridiculous

For 194 years, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper declined to offer high-office endorsements. Until now. The newspaper noted that Ramaswamy’s use of an ad exploiting Acton’s traumatic youth “crossed a line” and “we have a responsibility to show it.” www.huffpost.com/entry/clevel...

Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse backfired. It prompted Ohio’s largest newspaper, The Plain Dealer, to reverse its policy on political endorsements and endorse Acton for governor.

Last week, I met with young leaders from the My Brother's Keeper Alliance at the Obama Presidential Center. They shared more about the work they’re doing at school, their goals for the future, and even gave me an update on their class elections. Take a look!

Last week, we celebrated Eastern European heritage at Gracie Mansion, because the story of New York City cannot be told without the story of our Eastern European neighbors.

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

You can literally feel the intelligence, decency, morality, compassion, class, decorum stripped away when you hear the orange felon speak his hateful stupid compared to the masterclass of President Obama’s speeches. The racist will always live in the shadow of a beloved successful black man.

MAGA (Last Week): "Trump endorsed Bolsonaro. Make Brazil Great Again! A victory there guarantees us the mid-terms. Let's go!" MAGA (This Morning): "Nobody cares about an election in a third-world country! It means nothing."

Imagine the same people telling kids that dressing up and going trick or treating is “evil” being the same people publicly supporting pedophiles, politicians who cut food programs for children and masked gangsters kidnapping families off the streets. We know where the real monsters are

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

The breaking of the historic Eisenhower globe is the Trump administration in a nutshell: disregard for institutions, contempt for expertise, and a willingness to break what they cannot properly steward. Op: @thebriefingwithpsaki
