A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

As Trump condemned Colorado for incarcerating election denier Tina Peters, the White House organized an urgent "brainstorm call" with federal agencies — to explore ways to curtail federal support to Colorado. The next day, agencies canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in grants for Colorado.

Trump mentioned Maduro tonight as part of his election conspiracies. I stand by my prediction that he is going to make a deal with Maduro where he will say Venezuela was part of a conspiracy with China to rig 2020 in the US. That line tonight was another step to that happening.

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment.

Monday marks 27 years since the Supreme Court's Olmstead v. L.C. ruling, when Lois Curtis secured disabled people's right to live free from institutionalization. The DOJ is going against the ADA and they even admit this is "out of step" with longstanding precedent. This is regressive and wrong.

Trump's DOJ released a dubious legal memo this morning that signals the Trump admin wants to force more people into psychiatric institutions via bad faith and incorrect interpretations of ADA, Section 504, and Olmstead. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

CALIFORNIANS: have you voted yet? if not there’s still time! however, you need to use a ballot drop box or vote in person. DO NOT MAIL YOUR BALLOT. (trump and the goons borked the usps so things aren’t always postmarked at the point of origin, which means it could be marked late and won’t count.)

Look at that yellow slice. 89 million eligible Americans sat out 2024 — more than voted for Trump OR Harris. Non-voters decided this election. In 2026, we don’t repeat that mistake. Register. Return your ballot. Ask friends, family, and neighbors: “Did you vote?” #Vote #VoteBlue #California
