NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

9 Days to Change the World. Thank you for your fellowship and friendship.

Florida, early voting is now open in all 67 counties! When we show up and vote, no race is out of reach. Go to floridadems.org/vote to find an early voting site near you, familiarize yourself with the Democrats on your ballot, and make your plan to vote early TODAY.

Three years ago today, a gunman killed 18 people and injured 13 others in a shooting rampage in Lewiston, Maine. Families were gathered for youth night at the local bowling alley and Maine’s deaf and hard of hearing community were gathered at a restaurant for a corn hole competition.

OBAMA: I got criticized for tightening up enforcement at the border. But I don't recall anybody campaigning on sending masked agents running through our streets. Don't recall anybody talking about law abiding citizens being arrested, detained, or shot.

I'm incredibly grateful to South Florida Caribbean News for their endorsement! Florida's Caribbean communities have contributed so much to the culture, strength, and diversity of our state.  Thank you to everyone who continues to show up. #AngieForFlorida

🔥 @angieforfl.bsky.social : “Let’s talk about the Black Panther Party…”

Nidal Hasan's crimes at Fort Hood were horrific. His actions destroyed families and he deserves no sympathy. But Pete Hegseth's decision to livestream his execution is not about Mr. Hasan — it's all about all of us.

Whistles work! New York, get some whistles.

Shit! 😳 Let’s make this nationwide.

It was wonderful to gather with our friends in the Haitian community at Randy’s Restaurant & Lounge tonight in Miami. Gwen and I will always stand beside our Haitian neighbors who have contributed so much to Florida, and are a key part of its brighter future.

Florida, we are all we got. With Hurricane Isaias headed for the Panhandle & Gulf Coast, every rally is now an emergency supply drive. Sarasota, that starts TOMORROW at 2 PM with the Manatee Progressive Caucus! RSVP at Angie4US.com/MT. #AngieForFlorida

30 Days to go and we're not slowing down. There are events all over Florida happening today and this week. Get involved. #TakeBackFlorida: fldp.us/WOAevents

Folks have insulted:  My Southern drawl.  My loc’d hair.  My clothes.  My shoes.  My intelligence.  I’ve been called a ghetto Black b!t€h. Now @JDVance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build. This is a lot y’all. It is. #AngieForFlorida

Raskin after Kristen Welker plays him clips of controversial Hasan Piker comments and asks him to react to them: "I think all of that is an irrelevant distraction"

NEWS: New York City just recorded the safest summer in its history. From June through August, NYC saw its fewest shootings, shooting victims, and murders on record. Major crime fell 6.2% year-to-date, murders plunged 24.1%, and the subway had zero murders, shootings, or rapes in August.

Happy Dog Day!

Jon Batiste with a gorgeous rendition of "I Will Always Love You" for Dolly Parton 🥺🙏

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

“For now” This doesn’t change anything, though - we already knew we couldn’t count on SCOTUS to actually uphold the law. Vote early. Vote in person if at all possible. If not, check daily to make sure your vote counts. We’re still going to win.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund: “Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule. Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it.”

I really do not understand the purpose of this. No one is asking for this.

These guys really want to have this conversation? OK. What’s the legitimate reason she‘s the president’s constant companion, by his side 24/7? Does the president need round the clock medical assistance?

Trump voted by mail in Florida's Republican primary, according to local voting records — even as he continues to rail against mail-in voting with lies of fraud.

These questions have now been asked of Blanche repeatedly & he gives the same bullshit answer each time. Here’s an idea: How about we ask Blanche direct and pointed questions about his noncompliance with court orders from Judge Sullivan compelling him to provide unredacted Epstein Files?

Jolly: Byron Donalds’ real plan to bring down property taxes is to devalue your house by building a hyperscale data center next door to you…

This might be the greatest example of "Twitter isn't real life."

This is Frederick. He was found as a stray with a dislocated hip and heartworm. We were able to cover all of his care thanks to a donation from @seescandies.bsky.social. He had surgery to repair his hip, and once he completes his heartworm treatment, he’ll be ready to find a forever home ❤️‍🩹

This is Mia. While in foster care, she suddenly became ill and started repeatedly vomiting. Her foster rushed her to the hospital, where X-rays revealed she had eaten part of a rug. With your support, we were able to cover the surgery she needed to remove it. Just one month later, Mia was adopted ❤️‍🩹

Democrats are consolidating as predicted. Excellent. Whitmer, Stevens, McMorrow and even Schumer rally behind Abdul El Sayed. He can and will beat Rogers who is weak and tied to an unpopular Trump and GOP. All gas.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Heads up: The Trump Justice Department says it's monitoring polling sites in four Michigan cities today: Detroit, Lansing, East Lansing, and Hamtramck.

NBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.

NEW: Republican Thom Tillis says Todd Blanche has to meet with Epstein survivors before he'll vote to confirm Blanche. "This is a very important part of getting to yes. There should not be any reason why … if he said that he would do it today, then he can certainly do it over the next two weeks."

Trump’s TV address Thursday may be less about proving his false claims of voter fraud in 2020 and more about creating a justification for taking over future elections. From scrutinizing voting machines to challenging Democratic victories, here's what Trump is hoping to accomplish with his speech:

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

WOW! That’s a win for CPV for sure! Great match for those young people!

i really, truly, find this offensive

My two who rescued me! Happy National Dog Rescue Day! Love you Jasper and Mia and thanks for saving me.

Now sanctimonious Vance is going to run around the country preaching to us about “fraud” investigations while Trump pardons the worst convicted fraudsters in America leaving victims with no restitution, and they force taxpayers to pay $1.7 billion to J6 criminals & MAGA henchmen.
