NEW: Last week, the DOJ sued California to disenfranchise 20k voters it alleged are noncitizens — a move Democrats warn could lay the groundwork for potential ballot seizures. While Trump has no legitimate ground to seize ballots during the midterms, the bleak reality is he might try anyway.

DELIVERED: $23.5 Million in LIHEAP aid to help RIers in need lower their utility bills.

I’ve been a part of a group trying to stop a data center in a suburb of central Ohio. We put together a charter amendment to force all large (50+ acres), heavy industrial that use water (>500,000 gal/day) and power (>20MW) to be voted on by the community. We had 16 days to get 1,200 signatures (1/2)

President Trump has repeatedly overstepped the bounds of his power by trying to interfere with elections. But the Constitution is clear: the authority to run elections is vested in states, not the federal government.

Robert “Bobby” Larisa — a husband, father of four, and longtime EMT firefighter — has spent years showing up for people on their worst days, and now needs help facing a fight of his own. https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news/east-bay/community-rallying-around-bristol-man-awaiting-heart-transplant/ 

Remember that a blue wave might not crash evenly across all areas. In fact I believe it will wash further ashore in red states than in blue. Polling hints at an anti-incumbency drag, regardless of party. So to blue state Dems: Do NOT get complacent and assume easy victories in your elections.

The world must stop equating wealth with knowledge, wealth with wisdom, wealth with sainthood, or to any other redeeming quality.

The regime tried to use the Land & Water Conservation Fund to secretly hand Yosemite acreage to a luxury developer. 13,969 of you caught them. We are just 31 letters away from hitting 14,000 and killing this backroom deal for good. Send yours right now: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Developers laughed off public pushback, betting nobody would care about a private land grab. What 10,652 furious citizens just did to their backroom deal this weekend is the most savage humiliation they’ve faced all year. Pile on before Monday: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Trump’s luxury developers laughed when we said public outrage would stop their Yosemite giveaway. What 9,488 furious citizens just did to their backroom deal this afternoon is the most savage pushback they’ve ever faced. 512 letters to 10k. Finish it: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Get in, folks: a new Russian disinfo campaign is targeting the midterms, specifically Democrats, in what seems to be the first attempt by the Kremlin-backed op to meddle in this year’s U.S. elections. They're faking celebrity videos attacking Dems and are...very stupid. www.ms.now/news/russia-...

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

When I think about the millions of people I’ve crossed paths with over the last decade, there is such a through line of loss. But of the lamentations they’ve shared with me, the greater mourning I have sensed in people is the loss of their former selves. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/do-you-mis...

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

You gotta be kidding me. No one should be forced to create an account on X to boost Elon Musk’s numbers just so they can get info about the Social Security benefits they paid for. www.wired.com/story/social...

How have Rhode Islanders historically felt about tariffs? Not fans. Not. Fans.

@whitehouse.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov @amo.house.gov @magaziner.house.gov www.firstbaptistchurchinamerica.org Just wondering how man Rhode Islanders have marched in protest past this church since it was founded in 1638. #RogerWilliams. #Handsoff

Do you know about health-related programs that have been cancelled due to federal funding cuts or delays? @kffhealthnews.org we're looking to cover stories about programs that provided *direct* services to people. Send me a DM or email amym@kff.org 🌈

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

This week, Congress could simply remove Trump's power over tariffs. It's all delegated from Congress. But instead

We are not invisible. This kind person from the UK sees us and is proud of us. You might need a tissue when you watch this 👇👇👇👇👇

Cory Booker. That’s the post. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So grateful to share a bit of my experience with @maddow.msnbc.com last night. Thanks so much for having me. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Looking for corporate media coverage of the @booker.senate.gov filibuster and finding NONE. Currently live on CSPAN2 and YouTube.

Listen to Sen Cory Booker rip into anyone who voted for the CR! He’s pledged to hold the floor tonight for as long as possible. Let’s lift him up and show him support as he gets in good trouble! @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com

I’m going to repost this piece of mine dozens of times to remind everybody that anything any member of this administration says in public is probably a lie. whowhatwhy.org/politics/us-...

Trump is trying to change the conversation from tariffs, the economy, and the Hegseth scandal. Any conversation about him running for a 3rd term is still 2 years away. He is trying to distract and get the media off of the headlines currently dominating the news cycle. Don't take the bait.

This Saturday’s “Hands Off!” day of action—a massive nationwide effort to push back against Musk and Trump’s dismantling of the federal government—is shaping up to be one the largest protests of the year. More than 600 events planned! Are you going?
