In every case, the firm found the same pattern of Russian government and military satellites orbiting above the areas for days before and after. apnews.com/article/russ...

Columbus Dispatch: The conduct of Vivek Ramaswamy in attacking his rival has been reckless, shameful and morally depraved. Therefore we are pulling our support for Ramaswamy and endorsing his rival, Amy Acton, instead. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

📌Trump’s latest capitulation to Russia should close the case on his treason. By lifting sanctions on Putin, disrupting crucial satellite systems used by Ukraine ​on the battlefield, and pushing for their surrender, Trump is no longer bothering to hide his hate for America, and love of Mother Russia.

🚨THE SENATE JUST SHIFTED HARD: Nate Silver’s model now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of taking control. If current polling holds, Democrats could end up with a 54–46 majority. This is real. This is winnable. But only if turnout matches the moment. Vote. Volunteer. Donate. Organize.

“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

The vote marked the second time the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) denied students at the nation’s largest historically Black university, with over 15,000 students, a midterms voting site. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democracydocket.comNorth Carolina early voting begins, with students targeted by suppression schemesUltimately, voters described the roadblocks as a feature, not a bug, of the state’s electoral system — one that’s littered with so much confusion that some may decide to stay home and not vote at all.

Day 640 Musk and Trump ARE ACTIVELY hindering Ukraine in the defence of their country. Think about that. They are switching off their WiFi connectivity. LITERALLY HELPING A TYRANT. This is like helping Hitler. Absolutely disgraceful and impeachable behaviour. You are all caught up.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

18% of voters pick 52 senators. Democrats won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes yet hold just 3 SCOTUS seats. Republicans have a tilted House map and a huge cash advantage, and they STILL want to suppress votes. Imagine having the casino rigged and being afraid to deal the cards.

Who could’ve have foreseen Kim Guilfoyle would go on a grifting and crime spree after Trump named her as Ambassador to Greece to get her out of the country after Junior hooked up with a younger woman?
