“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

It matters that it won’t happen but it also doesn’t — the willingness to have done it shows us once again who these people are.

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.

Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.

@meidastouch.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social This is so powerful from James Talarico. This man doesn't need to have memes of himself dressed up like Jesus, he has him in his heart. youtube.com/shorts/WJ02N...

1 month into the Iran war, Donald Trump said it would be over "in about two weeks." That was 182 days ago. That's why we partnered with VoteVets to build a calendar of every single time Trump said the war would be ending. Go to AboutTwoWeeks.com and see for yourself.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

some people replying and saying ed sheeran can’t take the same risks as an established legend like david byrne, but then you look at olivia rodrigo who is 12 years younger than sheeran and just organized an entire festival to support ABORTION. bravery has little to do with age/experience.

if we’re still pretending that Mitch McConnell is alive then we should be able to criticize him for his silence on the anniversary of 9/11

Elephants from a traveling carnival cool off in the Mystic River during a visit to Boston, circa 1920s. The train tracks were relocated years later, traveling carnivals were banned, and the land is home to the Encore casino.
