No pee-pee peeking in WA state!

"Remember the a la mode!"

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

6/ Price said the state’s policy not to monitor workers is meant to allow farmers to decide whether to contact the health dept, rather than “forcing it on them.” “If we started seeing people actively dying from this, obviously that would change how we respond to this,” she said.

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

America is not a Christian nation. It was never founded as one. That doesn't stop 45% of Americans from saying we *should be* a Christian nation. This election is our chance to show up loudly on the side of secular democracy. Vote Nov. 3, or vote early today in most states. ffrf.us/vote

Trump and his Republican enablers are doing everything in their power to suppress your vote. Be like these students at NC A&T who walked 45 minutes back to campus after casting their votes!! This is how we win and remember #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly

Sometimes the Onion isn't funny at all.

NEW: California called the DOJ's request to bar the state from counting the votes of 20k people it alleges are noncitizens "a reckless political stunt." The warning comes as the DOJ "threatens to disenfranchise thousands" just two weeks before election day. https://demdock.com/47wFcZb

The Florida GOP should know news outlets cannot be punished for publishing information from whistleblowers. The Supreme Court case that says it’s not the job of journalists to maintain the government’s confidences literally has Florida in the name. Our statement:

What’s the best way to vote in this year’s midterms? You can vote by mail — but do it NOW, Marc Elias says. “If you can vote in person and you have early voting in your state, do that.” Voting rules are being rewritten right now. Stay a step ahead: https://demdock.com/4BbFVfS

Let's review. Who are the "card-carrying" Communists calling the shots? Active members of the Communist Party? Trump's besties?

Ukraine president paused for 15 seconds after question about US counterpart, before smiling and saying: 'This is my answer.'

Trump’s DOJ is suing California over its voter rolls, months after he ordered DHS to push states to purge their lists. In July, Marc Elias called Trump’s speech “the first salvo in this fight to remove people from the voter rolls.” Now that fight is here. Keep watch: https://demdock.com/47sbpAT

Montana is also working towards the same goal in limiting corporate political spending. Since the Supreme Court as ruled that’s it okay, it’s up to individual states to limit it!
