Todd Blanche has succeeded where Jeffrey Clark failed - getting DOJ as an institution on board with a pressure campaign to support seizing power after losing an election.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews, founded in 1760, is the longest-standing and principal democratically elected representative body for the Jewish community in the United Kingdom. So just say what you mean.

Mehdi Hasan is so close to getting it. When your candidate is vulnerable to attacks from the opposition, does it ever cross your mind it's because they are a weak, compromised candidate?

Trump's 2024 rallies were lackluster and ill attended too, yet he won. Only the most die hard MAGA want to be seen publicly supporting Trump. But they will all vote for the GOP next week. Stay woke. Stay aware.

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

The NYT’s Nate Cohn is back at it misusing computer simulations with biased assumptions built-in to draw misleading conclusions about congressional gerrymandering’s impact in each state. The thread below shows how badly off the mark this methodology was earlier this year:

Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social

The NYT's maps would hurt Black voters & are de facto GOP gerrymanders. The whole premise is flawed. It’s nonsensical that Dems would 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 a seat with "colorblind" nonpartisan maps—the GOP gerrymandered every state here except for AL & LA. Here's how nonpartisan maps might actually look. [Thread]

Trump’s team urged him not to celebrate higher oil prices ahead of the midterms. He ignored them — again. The guy seems convinced that consumers will celebrate Big Oil cashing in, even as they suffer at the pump. This probably isn’t what Republicans want voters to hear. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowTrump ignores his own team’s advice, celebrates higher oil pricesThe more consumers suffer, the more money oil companies make. The president is celebrating this as part of his closing message ahead of the midterms.

incredible strategic error by Pat McAfee to reveal he is deeply bothered by relatively mild mockery from college students despite a key component of his job being "standing on a stage in front of college students for 3 hours a week"

Last week, I met with young leaders from the My Brother's Keeper Alliance at the Obama Presidential Center. They shared more about the work they’re doing at school, their goals for the future, and even gave me an update on their class elections. Take a look!

Q: We have not had an incumbent senator from Mississippi defeated since 1942. Are you concerned about this race at all? Trump: Anything can happen

Trump is a serial rapist pedophile. His voters condone it.

Katie Johnson, 13, reported Epstein and Trump argued over who would take her virginity, and Epstein became angry and violently raped her when he learned that Donald Trump had done so. As shown by official FBI interview notes, Johnson, through her attorney, reported these alleged crimes to the FBI.

"Following the assault, according to Keul’s report, Trump sat her on the edge of the bed, repeated his promises to arrange for a visa and NYU admission, and made her promise she would keep quiet, saying, “[T]he show must go on.”

You mean like how he almost destroyed the life of Ole Miss student Mary Kate Kornett by amplifying a false internet rumor? Screw Pat McAfee.

Pat McAfee says he was "uncomfortable" during Utah College GameDay and alluded to the Charlie Kirk killing. This all comes after a school video of students commenting about him upset him. Also said he might not show up if GameDay goes back there. www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Conservative men are the whiniest punk ass bitches out there. Pat McAfee literally destroyed the life of a teenage girl but as soon as he gets some light criticism he calls for peoples heads.

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

His voters love it. They choose white supremacy over everything.
