James Talarico tells Rachel Maddow that if Democrats win the Senate seat he is running for, "I think we can build the political will to restore the Voting Rights Act."

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.
While Trump continues to lie about the 2020 election, the motive behind this address was to rig the election right before our eyes. His speech was the latest escalation in a fight Trump has been waging for more than a year. newsletters.democracydocket.com/trumps-speec...
"Mr. Blanche gave bizarre excuses for not meeting with Jeffrey Epstein's victims – yet he spent two days personally eliciting testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell."

The President of the United States is currently doing everything he can to fu*k with, sow distrust in, and destroy another American election.Donald Trump is America's enemy.
He should be in jail.

We all know this still stinks to high heaven.
Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell.
“I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”
Trump started a war with Iran and assassinated their leaders. The US government had been bombing the country for months and killing civilians. There’s no moral high ground here despite Trump’s preemptive effort to cast himself as a victim.
Law enforcement knows the name of every criminal listed in the Epstein Files and redacting their names does not equate to giving them immunity.
Prosecute the files.
fotus is not arguing that he's innocent, he's arguing that he has a right to be a criminal...
fotus will be a corrupt dictator who will destroy America
Rep. Chuck Fleischmann downplays ICE killing a US resident in Texas: "I wish there was as much concern about the illegal immigrants in this country who have committed horrible heinous crimes ... the radical left caused this"
Platner is done. Time to gray rock him. Leave him in the dustbin of history and move forward to support whomever Maine chooses to unseat Susan Collins!
Didn't the judge order the DOJ to release the rest of the Epstein files? These judges need to hold the DOJ in contempt and put Blanche behind bars until they release the files. Stop playing with these people.

Remember Trump ambushing Zelensky in the Oval Office? This week Zelensky walked into NATO and left with $80 billion and a Patriot deal Trump spent years refusing. The man Trump tried to break just out-negotiated him on the world stage.

NEW: Friday night’s ruling marked the department’s 12th straight loss in lower courts in its legal crusade to force all 50 states and the District of Columbia to forfeit their voter rolls to the federal government. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
A federal court has rejected the orange felon’s request to put his disgusting name back on the Kennedy Center.
Imagine being so pathetic, jealous and weak that you keep trying to add your name on someone else’s memorial. He belongs in jail.
After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government.
Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium.
No cobalt.
No rare-earth metals.
Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide.
The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.
🎯 @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social : “Any senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche should know — you’re now part of the cover-up. You’re complicit in the cover-up if you vote to confirm the Todd Blanche for attorney general, who has led the cover-up of the Epstein Files.”
MARCO RUBIO: “Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.’
IRAN: “Let me explain this in simple English: The United States is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
A big thank you to Houston Mayor John Whitmire, who says his office “will not rest” until there is a thorough and independent investigation into the fatal shooting of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado by ICE.
Donald Trump cannot cancel elections but he can try to make it harder for people to vote and easier for the GOP to cheat. That includes misuse of the federal government and inciting his MAGA mob of election vigilantes.
We need to be ready to send up and protect elections.
The White House was never supposed to be a palace.
George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.
When did all this daily drama, mania, insanity and lunacy start? Oh yeah, it was January 20, 2025. Every day more corruption, threats, arrests, firings, shootings, indictments, scandals, and power grabs. The other guy was old. This guy is an old, psychotic, malignant narcissist.
You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to good affordable health care and the best public schools.
You are actually part of an American majority.
