The Alaska case is a red flag that Trump has no intention of accepting the results of an election that Republicans lose.

This right here was the most damning part of the report; Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell to signal to her the following: (1) we know that there is material related to Jane; (2) we know that you have information related to Jane; and (3) we will move you to a minimum security prison.

For my last Better Win a District, I wrote about TN-09. Republicans gerrymandered Memphis, the Blackest city in Tennessee, out of a seat in the House. Or at least they tried. Then along came Justin Pearson. Now TN-09 is a real fight. www.liberalcurrents.com/better-win-a...

I don't think anything can be built out of the current GOP.

This is good. Our only way out of this is real accountability.

Utah’s public defender system became so anemic that the ACLU sued the state in 2016. And the former chief of the appellate division said things are so bad now that the state is at risk of being sued again.

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats asked a federal judge Monday night for a restraining order and temporary injunction to halt President Donald Trump and his administration from interfering in the upcoming midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Abortion is illegal in multiple states because every republican appointed justice lied about how they would vote.

Left: What Nevada GOP Congressional candidate David Flippo said in May about getting fired as a financial adviser in 2024. Right: What previously unreported documents I obtained through public records request say happened.

COMING UP: Preliminary hearing before magistrate judge Faruqui in the criminal case of former FBI agents charged with false statements to Congress and obstruction. Things could get very interesting... I'm here in the media room for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along!

The Supreme Court denied an emergency appeal from Democratic-led cities on Tuesday, refusing to block a deal between Texas and the Trump administration ending a longstanding immigration practice through friendly litigation. @kelseyreichmann.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/supreme-cour...

BREAKING: The 9th Circuit rules 2-1 to dismiss DOJ's effort to force California to remove 20,000 purported noncitizens from the voter rolls based on data CA officials view as faulty. Majority: Bennett (Trump) Sanchez (Biden) Minority: Bumatay (Trump) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

Add “between my legs” to a movie title: The Thing Between My Legs

JUST IN: Judge Gleason in Alaska sounds deeply skeptical of DOJ's 11th hour lawsuit there to halt certification if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. She grants Dems' motion for expedited consideration and notes DOJ waited four months to sue over the ballot. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Growing body of evidence demonstrates that Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women and "DOJ and FBI are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it." - House Judiciary Democrats democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this: "Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

one of several things making me crazy about the latest report on the president being a rapist is that the response more or less comes down to "we knew that already"

Brazil: defeated Flávio Bolsonaro ordered to surrender passports

Fake poll influenced Michigan's Senate primary; charge the fraudsters.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

"The DOJ knows that it can’t win this case. It’s all part of an effort to stoke the fires of grievance and try to undermine confidence in the election."

This will go down as one of the most incredible screwups in recent campaign history, and it happened because brain-fried Republicans like Ramaswamy can't imagine that voters don't actually want politicians to be gigantic assholes. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/vivek-rama...
