📊 A new poll reveals voters overwhelmingly reject Trump’s election-meddling tactics. Voters were given potential scenarios outlining how federal or state officials might respond to the 2026 election process. Overwhelming majorities disapproved of every tactic: https://demdock.com/4yIGP19

Early voting just crossed 30 million That’s 30 million Americans casting ballots before Election Day, while Trump’s DOJ unsuccesfully runs around trying to throw ballots out The courts are one line of defense -- the ballot box is the strongest one, & your vote is how we hold it -TN

"Flávio has given up." A Bolsonaro family adviser tells The Washington Post he’s terrified his father, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, will DIE IN JAIL, and that he could be jailed himself THIS WEEK. Flávio effectively conceded defeat after Trump stopped short of intervening, per WaPo

Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.
Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...
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.

ICE kept people locked up after judges ordered them freed. When Minnesota judges spoke about it, DOJ filed a misconduct complaint against them. Now 174 bipartisan former judges are urging the Eighth Circuit to dismiss it, and we’re proud to stand with them. Read the letter:

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?
