It bears repeating that the purpose of Jan 6 was to throw out cast, counted and finalized state vote counts by force, using counterfeit elector documents. That ALL of Trump’s 60 court allegations were dismissed as baseless in red and blue states and by Trump appointed judges ALL 60 CASES

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Anyone else deeply ashamed of our country for allowing a convicted felon, pathological liar, serial abuser of women, and traitor to seize power? Ready to fight back? Vote against all Republicans.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

It should be illegal for the President, VP, and lawmakers in Congress to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

The Trump administration has been unable to achieve the election interference it desires through: 🗺️ Gerrymandering 📮 Weaponizing USPS 📊 Obtaining sensitive state data Now, it's going after election officials. Voters win when people pay attention. Follow us to keep the spotlight on.

🚨BREAKING: A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit is hearing arguments at 4pm ET TODAY in the DOJ effort to force California to disenfranchise voters. I will go live right after the hearing concludes to break down what happened and what comes next. Tune in at 5:15: www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

In 2023, the Senate invited John Roberts to testify about Supreme Court ethics. He said no. Clarence Thomas spent years taking luxury trips paid for by a billionaire. Roberts sent a letter. Republicans call that independence. It’s a lifetime hall pass.

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

Vladimir Putin is the one leader who has access to the most money with the least amount of monitoring, regulation, or tracking. Any time you hear someone ask why Trump praises Putin more than anyone else in the world, refer them to the paragraph above.

“you attempt one coup, and it’s like people hold that against you forever, geez”

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.

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

A simple explanation of how big money buys businesses, strips them for cash, pockets that cash - and then declares bankruptcy - walking away from any debt or responsibility

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

The Republican Party is giving us cancer. The New York Times doesn't say it that directly, but its investigation proves it.

It's a Klan rally.

The level of hatred and harassment that Trump is directing at Ilhan Omar is appalling. He's inciting some disturbed person to commit violence against her. The entire Republican Party already has blood on its hands, and it's eager for more.

Take Trump seriously when he threatens to jail election officials for doing the job they’re sworn to do: counting votes. “We are not on the precipice of a constitutional crisis,” Marc Elias says. “We have reached it.” They’re betting you’ll stop paying attention. Follow us to prove them wrong.

A right-wing think tank argues Congress can — and should — refuse to seat newly elected members in some cases. The rationale is bunk. But it could convince a few Republicans who are just MAGA-crazy enough to try: https://demdock.com/4ifgdPa

DON’T BE AFRAID, BE PREPARED. AG Todd Blanche was asked a simple question: Will the DOJ try to block states from certifying election results? He couldn’t give a simple NO. Instead, he left the door open to hypothetical scenarios. @marcelias.bsky.social

Todd Blanche is one of the very many reasons we desperately need a blue wave Nov 3.

Everybody in the pro-democracy movement should have Ilhan Omar’s back.

Trump loves that Vivek Ramaswamy ad exploiting the family tragedy in which his opponent was raped as a child. Trump says God deserves thanks for the ad. Only fake Christians could vote for these lowlife Republicans.

Tarrant County, Texas just closed 92 Election Day polling places. Before 2013, Texas needed federal sign-off to change how its people vote. John Roberts wrote the ruling that ended that. That’s his fingerprint on every closed door.

Extorting Marines with cancer to own the libs.

News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.

Violence is an essential tool of fascism.

Russia was never a hoax

If the definition of AI is a predictive and analysis engine based on scooping up all data available online That “all data available online” makes AI surveillance system

I want to hear less about the polls and more about the consequences. The media should be focused on what the next 2 years will look like if Trump continues to be unchecked by Congress.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Democrats may have a shot at flipping the Texas Senate seat. But if they do, GOP nominee Ken Paxton could weaponize the Texas Attorney General's office to interfere with the election. Get the full breakdown on how Paxton could interfere with midterm results: https://demdock.com/4dJtdeu

Text this to the friend who says nothing can be done about the Supreme Court: "Congress can impeach a chief justice. It takes a simple majority in the House. John Roberts gave presidents immunity. That's reason enough." Then send the letter yourself.

We need to amplify every time the Trump administration loses in court — and we can’t do it alone. “We need to be part of the distribution mechanism for pro-democracy content,” Marc Elias says. Join the readers who keep this reporting going: https://demdock.com/4iuHsX5

With two weeks until Election Day, we are at the intersection of Donald Trump's plan to make it harder for you to vote and easier for him to cheat. When Republicans lose the House and Senate Trump will escalate the attacks. But he will fail and we will win.

It’s Almost Always a Republican!

🚨Trump and his allies have a playbook for rigging the midterms. And nothing about it is hypothetical. In our new Deep Dive series, Democracy Docket reporters break down five threats Republicans pose to our elections. Get each report sent straight to your inbox — free: https://demdock.com/4jZoMzW

And isn’t it just the damndest thing that nobody anymore talks about the fact that the president of the United States is almost certainly a pedophile?
