By killing the VRA, John Roberts has set the stage for Black voting power to be wiped out at every level of politics. Black people in affected districts will still technically have the right to vote, but no real ability to elect candidates they support and who represent their communities.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on why the economy is the reason Trump's corruption is finally breaking through with voters: “Trump did these things that are making…life materially worse. And then on the flip side, what is he talking about every day? His ballroom.”

Trump: "I'm also going to be issuing a $1 million bonus or reward or whatever you want to call it for anybody that reports voter fraud, leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody. We're giving that person $1 million."

We demanded answers on Andy's behalf, and we got results. Americans should be able to trust that what they buy will work as promised and that the government will hold manufacturers accountable if they, the consumers, don’t get what they paid for.

Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Sadly, if this allegation is true, it wouldn’t be the first time Donald Trump was found to have raped a woman “the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally-in other words, that Mr Trump in fact did rape Ms Carroll”

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

As El Niño continues soaring to unrivaled heights, meteorologists are preparing for a winter in the U.S. that could be just as extraordinary. Some of these storms will be nuisance-level events, while others have the potential to be much more serious.

In the Floris case, DOJ filed what they call a "notice of superseding complaint," adding one obstruction charge, for which it adds speculation for proof of motive. But the new "complaint" is not signed: it may be a ploy to avoid today's preliminary hearing or to DQ Zia Faruqui.

Note, the MOST IMPORTANT change is that they swapped FBI agents (and added critical elements that were missing from the original affidavit). This is clean up, the obstruction charge is likely only the excuse to do that.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

🚨 LEAKED: In a fundraising appeal, Mike Rogers told potential donors, "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk" from potential investigations into the harm caused by DOGE cuts. Rogers asked for donations so he could "protect Elon."

Not that long ago, three major lower-court rulings against the executive branch on three unrelated topics would’ve been a busy *month,* and outlets would’ve rushed to write up such a run of adverse rulings. Now, it doesn’t feel unusual when we get three on the same *day.* It’s all … exhausting.

Replying to @amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027." Very Special Episode of no amnesty

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

Ninth Circuit holds against the administration’s effort to force CA to set aside votes that the feds have determined –whatever the hell that means –might have been cast by ineligible voters. Very important decision and would have been disaster to go the other way, as 1 judge voted in dissent.

Farmers across America are on track to spend an extra $2.4 billion on diesel alone this year, thanks to Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran. Just plain wrong—one of the many reasons I’m working to rein in this illegal war.
