“Marc Rosenblum, whose blistering resignation letter from a decade-long career at DHS garnered national attention, is behind a new estimate published Thurs. that says between 790,000 and 1.9 million immigrants departed the US from Jan. 20, 2025, to July 31, 2026” The administration claims 3 million.

The lesson from Brazil is that democracy cannot be taken for granted. Defeating authoritarianism at the ballot box is only part of the struggle. Defending democratic institutions, protecting civil rights and demanding accountability require strong, sustained, principled public participation.

Two years ago, Skye Blakely ruptured her Achilles just days before the Olympic trials. This weekend, the Frisco, TX gymnast became WORLD ALL-AROUND CHAMPION, the first American woman since Simone Biles in 2023, and won four World Championship medals! #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Nebraska! Have you voted yet? You have a great candidate in #NE02. Denise Powell is focused on lowering the costs that are crushing families. She also will push to protect and expand Medicaid and increase investments in public schools. Elect Denise Powell Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District

“Y’all must not’ve been to my rallies before.” Oh, we know this one. 😂 Obama in Cleveland for Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown, bringing back a classic: “They can’t hear your boos, but they can hear your vote.” Listen to the man! Don’t boo! Vote! #BlueWaveIn10Days

Trump’s illegal Iran war is turning into our next forever war. 8 months in, Trump & Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking the next strike or another bombing campaign will finally bring victory. From Vietnam to Iraq, we know how this ends. This war must end NOW.

ELON HAS: - Cut off satellites to Ukraine - Spent $500 million on the midterms - Put $1 billion into Skydance - Had the Musk documentary banned from social media and pulled from theaters - Threatened any politician who comes after him with violence - Has appeared to be very high on ketamine again

👀 A massive flood of money now controls our politics, including and especially because of the Supreme Court. This animation illustrates the problem perfectly. Make your plan to vote early, bring two friends, and consider volunteering to help others vote. Democracy is counting on you! #VoteEarlyDay

Marc Elias has spent the past decade fighting Trump and MAGA — and he’s not stopping any time soon. “We need to show that we are going to have free and fair elections, that there will be consequences for people who are trying to deny the right to vote.” Follow us to stay in the fight.

Worth remembering who fought this fight. Tobacco money and the freedom crowd swore smoking bans would kill every restaurant and bar in America. The bans won, the bars are still packed, and a kid with asthma can eat dinner. Same script, new industry, every time.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Nothing scientific about it but, turnout in maga Spotsylvania, VA is good (900 today!) and mostly Blue according to people manning the early voting tents outside the polling center.

📌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 IS WITHIN REACH — and Democrats just hit a NEW HIGH in Nate Silver’s model. Dems are leading or within striking distance in the states that will decide control. Even a 2-point polling miss could still give Dems a 52–48 Senate majority. No complacency. No excuses. Flood the polls. VOTE.

Folks! If you're using a mail-in ballot, TRACK ITS RECEIPT. Someone just told me her ballot was never received. She's being sent a new ballot. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ON-SITE BALLOT WHEN YOU VOTE CHECK THAT MAIL-IN BALLOTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED Sad to say--but double-check EVERYTHING in this election.

North Carolina’s Democratic governor warns that the absentee ballot rejection rate is twice as high as in 2022 thanks to last-minute changes by Republicans. He recommends voting in person if you can (early voting is even better!) wcti12.com/news/local/g...
