As Rep. Max Miller campaigns for a third term, a trove of court and police records obtained by Mother Jones details allegations of physical abuse, drug use, and misogyny raised during a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife.

Since 2020, President Trump and his allies have been hinting that they might send federal forces to “protect” polling places. If that happens, what can cities, states, and communities do to protect their citizens and fair elections?

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Rent Free, Baby.

For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

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."

Our First Nations traditional territory maps are progressing. We're likely a week away from completing our alpha build. This will replace the Native-Land.ca territory maps, which went offline earlier this year (though they have other maps still online). It'll go online at knowledgekeepr.com

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Please post and share this video of @hallieshoffner.bsky.social who's running for the US Senate against Tom Cotton in Arkansas. Hallie has a deep connection to the people, the land, the history, and the future of Arkansas. In Arkansas? Vote for Hallie! @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social

Today we (@propublica.org) published this map of every location with an active 287(g) agreement with ICE. (with the help of @tituslegaldesign.com's initial data analysis). Read the story: "The Small-Town Cop Who Helped ICE Deport His Ingram, Texas, Neighbors" www.propublica.org/article/depo...

A week after ProPublica published an investigation that found $470 million in SNAP benefits were stolen from Americans last year alone, the Trump administration announced a new rule to add microchips, which are more secure, to EBT cards.

Newsweek: Trump bought as much as $2.55 million worth of stock in pharmaceutical companies that later benefited from changes to Medicare drug price negotiations, including purchases made days before Trump signed the changes into law. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate. President @barackobama.bsky.social & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight. #AngieForFlorida

BOMBSHELL! A $25 BILLION Alaska gas deal tied to Putin, Russian money and a friend of Don Jr.? Dean Blundell raises explosive questions about Trump’s so-called peace talks and who stands to profit. #USDemocracy deanblundell.substack.com/p/bombshell-...

I thought he was going to drain the swamp?

Elizabeth Warren Is On A Roll.......

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

Lindsey's bribery (for some daft reason the sex workers got far more attention than this, which is a problem since Darline has his same staff). www.propublica.org/article/nava...

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

It gets worse… tiffinohio.net/posts/ramasw...

🍊 bone spurs is VERY intimidated by Rep. Ilhan Omar. Keep on pushing on @repilhan.bsky.social 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 #Pinks

NEW: GOP operative Scott Presler built his reputation registering Republicans and accusing Dems of voter fraud. But a review by The Bulwark found GOP operatives from other states voting from his home—and evidence raising questions about their residency. www.thebulwark.com/p/gop-operat...

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. From the ProPublica archives:

The Anduril billionaire’s latest plan: a dog with “advanced cybernetic Augments, software, and battlefield situational awareness.”

I’m glad Congress isn’t alive to see this.

James Talarico calls volunteers to thank them for their work: “I appreciate you, and am so grateful to be doing this with you” 💙

I hope the AI/crypto/prediction market bubble bursts. Will it impact a lot of retirement accounts? Unfortunately, yes. But these assholes will get hosed.

Wow! Make Amy Acton governor. “I am making a promise to Ohioans...that no one in my state will ever, ever be invisible to me."

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

🚨BREAKING: Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday said the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) might launch more California-style lawsuits to block states from counting ballots for the midterm election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I went to Memphis to learn about state representative Justin J. Pearson’s run for Congress. I wrote about it here: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

NEW: Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice is looking into launching more California-style lawsuits to block “a number of states” from counting ballots for the midterm election. Under the Constitution, states — not the president — run elections, including counting ballots.

Re: The GOP's "Dear Leader"

This is a damning look at Utah's public health priorities. Workers who could be infected by the sick mink? No one cares. The state's AG dept will only "share information about bird flu outbreaks on farms — so long as the health officials didn’t do anything to track workers’ health."

It's not just Elon Musk. Vladimir Putin is also all in for Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott. Russian interference in Texas Race Exposed. No Russian Hoax. A bitter reality that Putin is now rewarding Republicans who are useful idiots to the Russian government. Musk sabotages Ukraine. Russia pays him back.
