Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

The Russians, Israelis, Nazis, Tankies, Vatniks and MAGA are really mad at Canada getting closer to Europe. They were expecting the world to fall apart and democracy to burn down. Too bad for them. Not happening.

📌Listen to me, you incompetent MSM morons: Trump is lying about where he was, and what he did on 9/11. This would be gross if he was a drunk loudmouth at the end of some bar, but he's the President of the United States and it's appalling. Your job is to hold him to account. FUCKING DO IT ALREADY

New from a whistleblower: The Trump Administration is putting together a sloppy, flawed system at the Postal Service that will disenfranchise Washingtonians who vote by mail. Washington state is defending our elections against this federal interference.

nytimes.comWhistle-Blower Says USPS Is Secretly Proceeding on Trump’s Mail Voting Plan Before MidtermsA report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the U.S. Postal Service could imperil millions of mail ballots ahead of the midterm elections.

After FDR cleaned up the mess created by Calvin Coolidge and blamed on Herbert Hoover, Democrats spent decades reminding voters what the two parties had done. In recent generations, that basic act of politicking has been deemed impolite by Democratic leaders. That needs to end.

New in PN: Are voters finally realizing that GOP presidents are disasters?

The sailors aboard the USS Lincoln are being pushed to brink. Pete Hegseth’s response? Deny, deny, deny. Mark Kelly is looking for someone, anyone, in this administration who will take responsibility for this failure. Good luck with that.

Trump totally obliterated Iran but he’s switching planes by hiding in a catering cart on international flights and playing golf in NJ next to surface-to-air missile launchers.

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

Trump didn’t want to admit that he personally hired an unqualified contractor who screwed up the Pool and cost taxpayers millions. So instead he had the hack Fox host who he installed as US attorney indict an innocent man so he could blame him and others for his own incompetence.

Wow! Republicans are staring at a potential midterm WIPEOUT based on these new polls. Plus: Trump’s AG pick hits a wall, the economy sharply slows, a judge gets some unredacted Epstein records, Trump’s Iran war spirals, and the World Cup boycott grows. Your bulletin is here:

It’s a damn disgrace that an innocent man who represented America in multiple Olympics and did nothing wrong was arrested and charged with a federal crime by hack Jeanine Pirro solely because Trump doesn’t want to admit he fucked up the pool with his usual incompetence.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

This is a blatantly unconstitutional threat. The executive branch has zero constitutional power to tell states how to run their elections - zero. Nor does DHS have the constitutional power to threaten state and local officials with jail time if they fail to abide by the executive branch’s demands.

Even John Solomon — a conservative columnist and conspiracy theorist who recently took up a temporary White House post probing classified information on elections — had to admit Trump's newly declassify documents didn’t indicate a foreign government changed Americans’ votes.

Our elections are free, fair, and secure. Every single one of the President’s unhinged, fabricated conspiracy theories about our elections were thrown out of court. Sixty. Four. Times. Poisoning trust in our elections is an attack on all Conservatives & all Liberals. On democracy itself.

Here is a definitive summary, by a group of Conservative jurists with integrity, of the facts in those 64 cases against our 2020 elections. The cases were a numb, cynical train wreck of falsehoods. Every judge threw them out of every court. Sixty four times. —> lostnotstolen.org

While there are so many glimmers and pockets of goodness ahead, the next few months are going to SUCK. Trump and his team know November will likely be an end of a road for them. They don’t want to lose the keys. But they are our keys, not the kingdom’s.

BREAKING MS NOW: The Trump White House hosted about two dozen election denial activists this week ahead of Trump's address where he's expected to spread election lies. The session was convened by conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell — who advised Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 result.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

The most important thing after defeating Russia not only in Ukraine but Europe too, is to remove hostile US & Israeli influence from our halls of power. That's enough corrupt bullshit for this century.
