Trump’s actions may seem random, but they are systematically constructing the pillars of dictatorship. #MatterOfFacts #PillarsOfDictatorship #trumpDictator

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “The American people have a chance over the next week to speak in a clear voice,” the editorial board writes. “If they do, they can allow the nation to glimpse the end of the Trump era and the start of something brighter.”

My husband and I just donated trump's $90 Medicare "refund" bribes to @ppfa.org (Planned Parenthood) and @democracydocket.com Thanks, trump, you convicted felon! Yay, democracy!!

People seemed surprised that Trump would dismiss high gas prices and claim the U.S. is making a fortune from the Iran war. But if you know Trump’s brain, it’s not surprising at all. trib.al/PuX8XYi

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Oh. My. God. We seriously need to get money out of politics. As Abdul El-Sayed is campaigning on.

Happy Birthday, Secretary Clinton!

NEW: DOJ just admitted in court that their lawsuit against California is not about outcome determinative issues, it's simply saying that a single non-citizen voting causes the government irreparable harm. That's bananapants.

🚨BREAKING: A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit is hearing arguments at 4pm ET TODAY in the DOJ effort to force California to disenfranchise voters. I will go live right after the hearing concludes to break down what happened and what comes next. Tune in at 5:15: www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

This brutal Obama-Trump supercut side by side from @meidastouch.com helps explain why Trump is losing it tonight 👇🏽

🌊 DEMOCRATS ARE ON THE VERGE OF AN EARTHQUAKE. HOUSE: 🔵 Dems lead nationally by 8–10 pts. SENATE: 🔵 Dems have a real path to 52–53 seats. Here’s the key: Dems don’t have to sweep every toss-up. Hold GA, MI, MN & NH. Flip NC, OH & ME. Then win just ONE of TX, AK, IA or KS. That’s the Sen majority.

Here’s the story. Pretty good. Would have more impact with sharper but still accurate language.

"Lord, we pray that you lift up Ken Paxton, a serial adulterer who constantly bears false witness, covets material things-- like houses--and disgraces your holy name with his shameless corruption, so that we may continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he does. Glory!"

Someone wants something out of Texas, and I think it has to do with billions and billions and billions of dollars that Donald J Trump promised him.

I seriously hope people are checking their part d plans during Medicare open enrollment! 

President Donald Trump’s administration filed a lawsuit to block Alaska’s certification of the U.S. Senate race if Republicans lose, based on confusion about the incumbent’s name. Read more at: bit.ly/47E82XB

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

NEW: In a powerful op-ed, Lana Pelletier, the longtime partner of Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson, breaks her silence after months of attacks on her family by Susan Collins and her allies. “If Susan Collins truly cared about my voice, she could have listened to it.”

Republicans are super-worried if kids are called "he" or "she"--but not if they are called "dead by an assault rifle." And if your child asks to use different pronouns at school than at home, it is because they are afraid of you and know that the school will do what you will not: protect them.

Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found.

PSA: You are not alarmed enough about what Trump has planned🚨 🗳️ A Washington insider tells us keep an eye on Kevin McCumber — “if he gets forced out things get scary… legislative coup… Local reporters shld make sure they’ll respect certifications by states, oppose the Clerk overthrowing results.”

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

An attack ad for the Ohio governor's race has caused criticism in both Republican and Democratic camps. It features the estranged mother of Democratic nominee Amy Acton calling her a liar. But, according to Acton's brother, their mother stayed married to the man charged with raping Acton as a child.

Voters are facing 2.5-hour lines and 45-minute walks to get to the polls. Why? Because Republicans slashed early voting sites. Make a voting plan, bring snacks and water and vote as early as you can. Follow Democracy Docket for the latest news ahead of the midterms.

The big lesson from 2020 is that Biden should have gone for the head.

I have to note that pretty much every example I've seen of Trump being more deranged or deteriorated than he's ever been turns out to be: 1. Him lying as he always has and not giving a fuck 2. Him doing a bit 3. Him being furious about reality He's just him. Underestimating him is how we got here.
