NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this
President Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall arch. If completed, it will cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost.com's 3-D analysis found. On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

America must put an end to this gross abuse of power. Blanche must be held accountable for this blatant prosecutorial misconduct & complicit DOJ officials held in contempt.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has again charged James B. Comey, the third time the Trump administration has mounted a criminal case against the former FBI director — a prominent political foe of the president — since last year.

This is vitally important. I'm glad that House Democrats are ready to use the full scope of their Article I powers. The raid on Omar's home can't be something we let people forget about in the next year or new congress. It is one of the most egregious examples of Trumpian fascism yet.

Love to see them already thinking along these lines, though I'm curious how this will play out against an administration that will walk right into a government shutdown before signing budget/appropriations bills it doesn't like
NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...
This isn't AS bad as the headline implies, Claude didn't get into voter registrations or voting machines, but it's still bypassing paywalls to go data thieving.

The former CEO of a naval defense contractor told FBI agents he cut cash-for-contracts deals with South Carolina’s two most powerful members of Congress — Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn.

This is seriously concerning. So much rides on this election -- the safety of the Amazon, people's rights, oversight on corruption, whether the US's expanding secret war in latin America will get a new partner -- and local far right leaders look to be trying to shut out voters and steal the election

Miller deserves everything that's coming. He's afraid of state prosecutors because a presidential pardon only covers federal offenses; and beyond prison, there's also future congressional investigations and civil lawsuits. www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...
This guy's a Paralympian with a birth defect, he should not be pulling the ladder up behind him on sports. But he ran to the right of his primary opponent on red outreach, so not surprising he's trying to kowtow to MAGA. Speaking of, he had a primary opponent! What the fuck Iowa Dems!
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.
Anyway this is his opponent now, I don't live in Iowa, if you vote in Iowa do what you think is best for the next six years. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does. His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.

Here's the NYT story about how Trump is inviting Russia into AK to drill for oil. Literally selling out Alaska to Russia. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Dear @electdemocrats.bsky.social - you're not getting a penny from me running anti-trans ads, or anti-Somalian ads, or anti-Haitian ads, or any other bigotry that Trump's ginned up to gain support.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

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.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.
