NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

I understand perfectly well why Witkoff is kissing Putin’s ass. He came to negotiate with a Russian dictator. But that doesn’t make it any less disgusting to watch him call Putin a “humanitarian.” So let me leave a VERY incomplete list of what Putin and his army have done in Ukraine:

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Given this is ICE and White House, I have zero doubts these charges are bullshit, and done specifically to terrorize potential blue voters. Still: Make sure you are registered to vote, and if you can, vote early. And be careful! We no longer live in a free democracy.

Months of fears around the use of armed immigration enforcement to affect national elections appear to be coming to fruition. Federal authorities announced the arrest in California of at least 11 people and charges against 28, alleging they registered to vote as noncitizens.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

every elected official they interview in this article, except derrick van orden who they lead with for some reason, had their death threats instigated & encouraged by donald trump. the country doesn't have an incivility problem, it has a maga death cult problem

Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.

Anyone who refers to Donald Trump as “President” and not by the highly accepted newer and more accurate term “Convicted Felon and Adjudicated Rapist” is THE ENEMY.

These same guys already did a coup & have committed so many war & financial crimes over the last year plus that I’d honestly be floored if they conceded election losses of any kind. 1st step is to vote en masse but then we’ve got to be prepared to apply overwhelming pressure to force their hand.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

It’s a federal crime to send armed federal agents to the polls. So why does the Trump administration keep suggesting it? “The answer is … Donald Trump wants to, to use his words, cheat like hell,” Marc Elias says. This isn't over. Stay close: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

1. The thing about Donald Trump is that he's bad at being president. I don't mean tyrannical or fascist or criminal or corrupt. Those adjectives obviously apply, but I mean *just plain bad*.

Rumors about “rigged elections" are now a fixture of U.S. elections, leading to diminished trust in election results & democracy (broadly). These rumors can sometimes be hard to debunk, esp. in their early stages. Our UW team has identified the 6 common ways that election integrity rumors mislead:

🚨BREAKING: Washington DC federal court BLOCKS Postal Service mail-in ballot rule. First court to prohibit USPS from taking steps to allow voluntary compliance with anti-voting rule. A victory for ELG and our clients DSCC, DCCC, DNC, DGA and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries!

This needs way more attention. The U.S. Postal Service has built a new system that could effectively turn USPS into a gatekeeper for mail-in ballots. Here are the details on how it is supposed to work.

“DON’T PANIC,” RIGHT? Fine. Don’t panic. ORGANIZE. 📌 A USPS whistleblower is warning the mail-ballot system could face “catastrophic failure” before the midterms. Make your voting plan now. Vote early, in person, or use a secure drop box. Don’t leave your vote to chance.

Just make it clear what the House Democrats did yesterday: “a whistleblower hands Democrats a blueprint of Trump’s secret plan to steal the midterms, and they turn right around and fund his government.” @brianbeutler.bsky.social

open.substack.comHoping Someone Else Stops Trump Is Not A PlanA whistleblower exposed his illegal scheme to cheat in the midterms, and House Democrats turned around and funded his government. It’s a bad omen for 2027.
