It's tempting to see Trump's Alaskan adventure as more electoral skullduggery. But it's a dangerous escalation of his attacks on democracy. He's not trying to suppress votes, he's trying to steal votes that have already been cast. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

thenation.comTrump Just Told Us How He Intends to Steal the MidtermsThe Alaska case is a red flag that Trump has no intention of accepting the results of an election that Republicans lose.

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

WIRED@wired.com

Despite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

Alex Pretti's father calls out the "cruelty" from the Justice Department in refusing to cooperate with the investigation into his son's death. He also slams AG Todd Blanche for protecting the men who killed his child. "Do your job and stop shielding Alex's killers."

And we know Trump is a stickler about proper handling of national security information…

Federal prosecutors have brought new charges against former FBI Director James B. Comey, accusing him of mishandling national security information in October 2016, according to court papers unsealed on Monday. More: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

Kudos to the reporter here, who does something we almost never see: she interrupts Trump to try to make him and answer the question she asked, not allowing him to bloviate.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Whether Elon Musk disrupted Starlink on his own or after talking with Trump, Ukrainian civilians, including children, are paying the price. I’m demanding answers.

The nice thing about having a newsletter is that when I say to editors "How about I write 1,600 words on how Trump's obsession with Jon Husted's ass is rooted in the fascist worship of the desexualized male body?" and they say no, I still get to write it. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/trumps-lus...

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

The Russian connection to Elon Musk, is proven. This may be news to some, but we'we known this for some time, and worth repeating👇 Musk used multiple investors to buy Twitter, now X. One of the investors was 8VC. 8VC employs the sons of sanctioned Russian oligarchs Radim Moshkovich and Petr Aven.

cybernews.comWho helped Musk acquire Twitter? There’s a Russian connection | CybernewsElon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter involved many financial institutions, banks, and investment funds – but also, indirectly, Russian oligarchs, tied to the Kremlin.
Benjamin Husstad-Nedberg@factforce.bsky.social

The platform X, owned by Elon Musk, is a propaganda tool for the #MAGA movement and Russian intelligence. X actively engages in censorship, undermines free speech and democracy. I urge all individuals and businesses to log off and delete their accounts, because using X supports fascism. ⤵️
