Democracy is our greatest test of our ability to overcome our differences for a common goal...

Love the state charges! Daddy Trump can’t save you Big Balls. (Can’t believe I just typed that sentence). cmarmitage.substack.com/p/big-balls-...

What the fuck does any of that bullshit have to do with public health you desiccated growling scrotum?

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Here's the schedule for briefing in Trump's attempt to steal Mary Petola's win. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One thing omitted from story below: A POLITICO reporter was excluded from today's hearing at request of Khan Suri's lawyers due to the "nature" of the testimony, including DHS cross-examination of Khan Suri's wife. DOJ judge allowed the selective exclusion. thehoya.com/news/khan-su...

In other words, Trump is trying to fire up his base by doubling down on racist, bigotry, and hate. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

BREAKING: We're asking the Office of Special Counsel & State Dept IG to investigate reports that diplomats' promotions hinge on how they vote & who they donate to If true, that's a political loyalty test & the law bars it @democracydefendersfund.org complaint 👇

“DOJ lawsuits are press releases with government captions at the top.” @marcelias.bsky.social hits the nail on the head.

Once the ballots are cast, if the votes exists to replace the government, the only thing that could stop it would be the 61+ MKs backing the new government.

“The Founders rejected domination by the Executive. They gave federal courts their independent station within the three coordinate branches, enabling judges to decide cases and controversies according to law, not political favor.”

UPDATE: During the high-profile DC trial of Dem atty Michael Sussman in 2022, former FBI general counsel Jim Baker discussed the alleged leak at issue in the 3rd criminal case against James Comey. Baker said he thought disclosure was approved by FBI & DNI www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves with these lies in service of an unconstitutional war that Congressional Republicans have let happen by abdicating their Article I powers.

... that it "cannot disbelieve the President’s clear, repeated statements of fact." Which is bad news for the defendant agencies ... and the DOJ attorneys.

This opinion is just wild. After countless cases in which DOJ has argued that courts must defer to the President's determinations, here DOJ urged the court to ignore what Trump had said. Uh, no: The court holds ... [1] storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One thing I have suspected for a while is that an AOC presidential campaign probably does not make it to November without being disavowed by DSA NPC.

I would love to see this guy debate Abdul El-Sayed about science

Hey Alabama GOP—here’s the voter fraud youve been looking for, but it’s the GOP candidate for Lt Gov, being called out here by the Dem candidate @phillipensler.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DeR8AKh...

”Arab civilization was never great” and “Arab civilization was great until it became too Muslim” are both orientalisms and they both suck and are untrue.

Giving courts arbitrary deadlines to respond to your motions or you will deem them denied was, perhaps, not the smartest game to play.

Yes. (Sorry, I originally wrote 10p ET, then "fixed" it — but only halfway.) And, now, that deadline has passed with no filing. I also have received no notice of any Supreme Court filing. So, it appears we are back where we started: Judge Carter has set a TRO hearing for Tuesday.

Also, have never seen anything like this before: Any rehearing/en banc request in the US v. CA 9th Cir appeal is due by 7p ET today — so, in 9 minutes. (This order was issued at 3:24p PT, so they had a little more than 3.5 hours.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

FLAT VOTER INTIMIDATION...

Our nation cannot get ahead by leaving workers behind. When Donald Trump took away federal workplace safety rules, I restored them and put them into state law. We banned anti-union right-to-work laws and guaranteed your right to organize.

#ELB: “Everything wrong with the DOJ’s uniquely embarrassing lawsuit against Alaska” https://electionlawblog.org/2026/everything-wrong-with-the-dojs-uniquely-embarrassing-lawsuit-against-alaska/

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...

Folks I get that Comey is far from an angel but under no circumstances do you have to hand it to Trump.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

A Superior Court judge will let arbitration between the City of Springfield and MGM move forward. The gaming company had invoked an arbitration clause over the city's right to approve a sale of the casino. #mapoli #spfldpoli wmasspi.com/2026/10/judg...

BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes! The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates

Cops are great

But for those doing the horse race “gap closing!” nonsense, please remember you‘re a big reason why “voter fraud!” claims stick, and know that state GOP have changed counting rules for mail-in votes to explicitly capitalize on your terrible coverage. They’ve used you. And you keep doing it.

the most damaging thing to restaurants i have seen in DC is ICE.

i submit that the way to respond to this is not to invoke things that happened more than a thousand years ago but to point out that this person exists and was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_M....

THESE ARE WAR CRIMES...

the thing is, they literally do. The claim is that the Arab world *once did* great things and *no longer does,* and that second part is not true. Conveniently, they keep records of who gets those prizes, so you can see that it is not true.

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.
