Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system."

Trump hit Brazil with a 50% tariff and sanctioned a judge to save his coup-plotting friend. Brazil convicted him anyway. 27 years. Sunday, Brazil got a vote on the son. The son's reaction came straight out of Trump's 2020 playbook. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-foug...
The Trump administration has worked to portray itself as protecting women and girls through their anti-trans policies. Meanwhile, they've worked tirelessly to undermine protections against sexual assault.
Wither Title IX, in this exceptional new reported story by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social.
The "protection" narrative promoted by Trump and far-right groups like Heritage is a dangerous fallacy.
Trump's DOE has abandoned sexual assault investigations under Title IX. It has set rules that effectively put the survivors of rape on trial and that favor the men accused of victimizing them.

NEW: Maricopa County will restore 25 voters’ registrations after they were falsely flagged as noncitizens, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced.
Mayes sued Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap (R) Thursday, demanding that he add the voters back to the registration rolls.
It is going to take YEARS to figure out all the ways that Trump and his corrupt family is profiting from the presidency. Another one has been uncovered about them claiming their golf courses as charitable gifts but not giving the land away. They are getting tax breaks and still making money. #Forbes
An attack on Voronezh, Russia.
The following facilities were reportedly struck:
• Voronezh Aircraft Plant (VASO) - a key facility in Russia's aviation industry, specializing in the assembly of long-haul Il-96 airliners and the production of components for other aircraft.
🚨THE GOP’S SENATE MAJORITY IS IN SERIOUS DANGER.
Nate Silver now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of taking the Senate.
🔵 NC: Cooper +10
🔵 GA: Ossoff +8
🔵 TX: Talarico +2
🔵 MI: El-Sayed +2
🔵 IA: Turek +2
🔵 AK: Peltola +1.6
Election Night could turn into a Senate wipeout for Republicans. #VOTE
It’ll actually be wild if he wins because the Ohio gop will be stuck with him and if you talk to a bunch of influential Ohio republicans that’s…. Maybe a severe punishment to them in its own right
NEW on @zeteo.com —
Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election.
“We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.”
From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:
That would be a catastrophically dumb move for Putin, but he’s definitely been hinting at provocations in the Baltic States.
He’s also the one stoking the fires of the protests in France, so there’s that.
Alright folks, gotta stop there for now!
Thanks for spending part of your Saturday with me.
Check your registration. GO VOTE!
Let’s win this fucking thing.
Trump: "Weren't you the man, Barry, that your were taking a couple of your constituents -- little kids -- around and showing them the Capitol, and they accused you of showing Russian spies or some crap?"
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."
People on the ground deeply worried about Michigan. The unprecedented money and hate might be tilting it. Would be devastating if El Sayed loses. Hopefully enough people come to their senses.
Britt McHenry is no longer in her role as a press advisor for Trump’s Department of State following a viral video that showed her throwing a drink at a Wizards game, FOS reports

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story.

And then the Russian company, presented with the evidence we had gathered, acknowledged in a statement: Yes, we are moving to take a large stake in the Polar LNG project in Alaska. Story was nailed. A bit hard to follow with all the names. But this is confirmation. Had not been previously disclosed.

I dug into Netanyahu’s decades-old writings & exclusive meetings with DC elites, and found how far he went to make himself the West's foremost "terror" expert — and thus steer America's endless War on Terror.
It's a saga that touches everything from Mario Cuomo & H.W. Bush, to Reagan & Iran-Contra.
Between allegations against congressman Max Miller, the rape of AZ Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia, and Jane Doe’s lawsuit against Cornell, sexual violence has been front and center. Which makes Ramaswamy’s exploitation of Acton’s rape a clear strategy—not a misstep.
As discussions of rape have permeated this election season, Trump has remained constant in his loyalties. He described Max Miller as a “good person”; he “felt badly” for the Cornell 7; he called the ad with Acton’s birth mother “very powerful.”
He excuses it because he identifies with the accused.
President Trump, never one to pinch pennies on anything shiny and new, has spent millions of taxpayer dollars on pet construction projects around Washington, D.C. They’re not going well.
Trump is deeply unpopular. So he wants to disenfranchise eligible voters.
“The blue wave that is cresting just over the horizon … is so large and so powerful that Donald Trump’s panic has him thinking bigger and bigger and bigger,” Marc Elias says.
Your vote is a target. Follow us to keep watch.
I'm sure if the Ballroom monstrosity gets built, there will be plenty of room to repurpose it for the First Lady offices and the press. But really, a pool is a waste of energy and space. We don't need either in the People's House. Let's get some new Dem House & Senate Leadership to help fight this!💪

Media & Political Elite: it is huge problem that Democratic intelligencia lives in left-wing echochamber BlueSky
Republican Elite: we sent all day in our right-wing-extremist echochamber X, and decided to go all in on mocking Democratic gubernatorial candidate for being raped & abandoned at 12 y/o
The attack ad against Acton is another in a long list of right-wing gotchas that have blown up in their face -- Eric Schmitt's attack on Jack Smith, the conspiracy that Talarico was in rehab, Tommy's heckling of El-Sayed, etc etc.
Their echo chambers keep convincing them to do incredibly dumb shit
Amid Trump’s dwindling approval ratings….
In battleground Iowa 3rd District race, Democratic nominee has released new ad which…..
… shows a clip of Trump endorsing her GOP opponent
BREAKING NYT:
A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal.
Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.
Trump has really hit rock bottom and Elon is there with him. #Trump stopped hiding how he caters to #Putin. Russia and China are still our 2-peer adversaries. Congress needs to look at taking over #Starlink from Elon since he stop it from working. Trump and Elon have gotten Ukrainians get killed. 🤬🤯
Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
On the Ground from No Kings: Vote Early... Meta shennanigans must be investigated by next Congress but it has only increased fervor in prodemocracy forces
The Republicans are running out of ways to spin their upcoming losses. Keep trying, Mike. And enjoy your retirement from being the least effective Speaker EVER!
Mike Johnson offers a conspiracy theory to explain away his party's dire polling: "I believe there's a concerted effort between Democrats and the mainstream media that's openly biased in their favor to discourage the Republican side"
This letter I received is what this campaign is all about.
Susan Collins is out of touch with what Mainers are going through — and she’s making it worse by rubber-stamping Donald Trump’s agenda...
Thanks to @meidastouch.com for quickly covering this. Note that this is STILL not resolved. Hours later we still cannot post to the account. But there's no stopping 3,000+ No Kings early vote events this weekend. meidasnews.com/news/zuckerb...
since California ballots are now out:
prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them
but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box
yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Milk so aged it could itself be a weapon. '94 President Clinton praises Ukraine’s courageous decision to surrender its nuclear arsenal, pledging full US support for its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He also considers it unlikely that russia would ever attempt to seize Crimea.
So Maralago Fats totally misses the Beast and instead goes for a dementia stroll while the secret service scurries around him to redirect him back to the car.
He’s basically little more than a barely walking , talking Trump steak.
