🎉 WIN: The DOJ’s request for the personal information of thousands of 2020 Fulton County election workers was “unreasonable,” a federal judge ruled. The judge found that the DOJ was clearly motivated by Trump’s repeated false claims of widespread voter fraud.

Many of you asked me if I would support Platner or not, right now. If you recall, I kept saying "ask me after Labor Day." Honestly, it's because I figured when more stuff came out, more of you would move to where I was, rather than vice versa. (Also, I was fairly sure he'd be gone by then.) /1

Trump's demand that law enforcement miraculously "find" widespread voter fraud (which is nonexistent) has gotten so unhinged that Republican officials are openly mocking AAG Harmeet Dhillon for her buffoonishly heavy-handed tactics

Trump doesn’t simply accept his losses and move on. He escalates his preposterous claims and rhetoric even further, Marc Elias says. “We all saw what that led to on January 6, 2021.” Help us stand up to Trump and fight for our democracy: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

As post after post circulated, I couldn’t help but wonder, was I the only person who didn’t get to spend just shy of 20 minutes talking into Mitch McConnell’s ear by phone today?

Once more for those in the back: THE WAR. NEVER ENDED. THERE IS. NO CEASEFIRE.

Iran apparently targeted Bahrain and Kuwait early Wednesday in retaliation to a U.S. attack on the Islamic Republic. The American airstrikes came after Washington said Tehran struck three ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation

Their goal is to create so much chaos and so many crises that it starts to feel like nothing you do makes a difference. Don’t believe it. Every action matters. Keep showing up and remember the resistance will prevail!

JD Vance urging the Ukrainians to be defensive is peak pro-Putin lobbying by the Trump administration. Now that Ukraine is doing better than they ever imagined, they want Ukraine to back off and take a deal Putin would go for. Nothing has changed. The US is with Russia.

Gavin Newsom says even the critics of Zohran Mamdani have to acknowledge his success on election night: I certainly reached out and texted him. This guy figured it out a year ago or more, and his influence continues to grow. It certainly grew the other day during the election.
