In 2020, Ken Paxton’s office spent more than 22,000 hours on voter fraud cases. The result was 16 prosecutions. “That’s 16 cases in a state of 17 million registered voters,” Marc Elias says. The rules for voting keep changing. Follow us so nothing catches you off guard.

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

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

The president doesn’t have some mysterious ability to do whatever he wants Republicans at every level - Senate, House, appointees, State and Local officials, midterm candidates — enable him, have chosen not to stop him even though they could

🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay. The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.

Amid the brouhaha over allegations of limits on intelligence sharing and the proved throttling of Ukraine's Starshield, a 3rd way Trump is aiding Putin hasn't had much press - the blocking of supplies of paid-for Patriot interceptors. This delay is costing Ukrainian lives.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Trump’s bid to steal a DC public park and turn it into an elitist golf course has been blocked. When many institutions kowtow to the dictator, federal district courts are holding the line.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

For the naysayers who keep insisting voting is pointless: in just six months, Hungary ousted Orbán, Serbia ousted Vučić, and Brazil said no to another Bolsonaro… Show up, and VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

F-35s (reportedly) don't have a remote kill switch like Starlink does. Yet the U.S. can cut off software updates and mission data (MDF) and halt the supply of spare parts and technical support.

Maria Drutska@mariadrutska.bsky.social

Fallout from the Starlink restrictions could hit US weapons exports such as the F-35. There were already concerns that the F-35 has a built-in software kill switch. And the US actions on Starlink just turned that risk from theoretical to something proven and real. Very costly choice by the US.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.
