In the face of all the Grand Juries refusing to indict Trump's political enemies, I can't help but recall Justice Sotomayor's argument against Trump immunity in 2024; that we already have protections against rogue prosecutors, including The Grand Jury.

North Carolina mail voters: you should check whether your mail ballot was accepted. If it was rejected for technical reasons, there's still time to fix it and have your vote count. Check here: northcarolina.ballottrax.net/voter/

NEW: Mail ballot rejection rates in North Carolina now sit at nearly 6% following Republicans' decision to implement a new envelope sealing rule before the midterms. One advocate noted that the steadily-growing rate "could make the difference in many key races.” https://demdock.com/4srJjPG

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

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…

I LOVE DEB HAALAND! And apparently Barack Obama does too… She went from knocking on doors for his campaign to becoming the first Native American Cabinet secretary. She’s running for governor of New Mexico.

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

Trump’s effort to undermine the midterms is already underway. His Justice Department wants California to set votes aside based on claims it admits it can’t verify. The right to vote means little if those in power can decide which votes count. Vote early.

The Big Picture@readthebigpicture.bsky.social

Trump’s election disruption strategy is no longer hypothetical. The DOJ is suing California over unverified citizenship claims and threatening local officials with prosecution. The suit may fail in court, but its real purpose is casting doubt on the vote before it’s counted.

Polling shows Democrats could win 53–54 Senate seats — but control is still too close to call. This comes down to turnout. Period. Every Democrat needs to show up and vote like our lives, our rights, and our democracy depend on it — because they do. No complacency. No sitting this one out. VOTE.
