The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

1/2 From Todd Blanche's interview with Dana Bash Sunday about Trump's lawsuit to interfere in Alaska's Senate race ... "And the result of that could be, God forbid, what we saw after January 6th," Bash said.

2/2 "Oh, stop it!" Blanche told Bash on CNN's State of the Union. "You've gotta stop it with that! You are not being a real person! Come on, man! That is crazy!" Yep, that is crazy Todd.

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

joycevance.substack.comThe BBC Strikes BackWith so much going on right now, we pick up with an unusual Friday afternoon column to cover Trump’s defamation case against the BBC.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

My vote for the top 3 things to focus on after the midterms ... 1. Politicians enriching themselves while in office with stock trades and pay-for-play regulatory decisions. 2. High cost of living due to tariffs and war. 3. And high cost of healthcare and loss of ACA subsidies and rural hospitals.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

It won’t be easy or fast but when a trillionaire is literally trying to buy a US Senator in Texas, we need to amend the Constitution to limit political contributions.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

Mr Trump, More free money? A $90 Medicare refund? But I’m still waiting on the: $500 ACA/Obamacare refund $5,000 DOGE dividend, $2,000 Tariff rebate/dividend, $1,500 Direct healthcare payments, and, hopefully, $5,000 “Trump Dividend” if the GOP wins the House and Senate.

Senator Eric Schmitt, Congrats on catching that dirtbag in a big fat lie! Here's proof that Jack Smith perjured himself and your excellent sleuthing was right on the money. The State of Missouri should be proud of you.

Yes - as @hcrichardson.bsky.social pointed out this morning - Schmitt "got his right-wing media hit from a completely fabricated storyline." heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

heathercoxrichardson.substack.comSeptember 29, 2026The scene that unfolded today at a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee was a snapshot of politics in the U.S.
Dr Jennifer Jones@jenniferewc.bsky.social

His inability to accept he made a mistake, the evident lack of attention to detail in his preparation for the hearing, and the right-wing media's willingness to ignore the error are, to say the least, problematic.
