Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

Fraud myths in general for the California primary elections seem to be based on the fact that election officials employ a meticulous vote-counting process that takes longer than other less-populous states. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump doesn't want the truth. (Nor does he think the concept of truth matters.) He prefers his fictional version of reality where Trump is always right, and Trump always wins.

Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.

Strange how Kash Patel and Todd Blanche can look at seashells on a beach and decided to dig further but see emails with grown men discussing raping kids and decided that there's nothing there.

Less than three hours after the polls closed, Viktor Orban conceded that he lost. Five years after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, he still falsely claims that he won. Tomorrow, I offer my analysis of what this means for the midterms. Subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

MAKING the threat is cause to immediately remove him from power and put him in a room with padded walls. CARRYING OUT the threat is cause to immediately remove him from power and put him in jail.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

BREAKING: Israel to deploy 3,000 soldiers to capture Kharg Island in what is being called a "suicide mission". That's American soldiers by the way. What? You didn't think Israel would deploy its own soldiers, did you?

Raskin: "Apparently blinded by the frenzied search to find any scrap of evidence that could be twisted and distorted to level an attack against Special Counsel Smith...you have, quite amazingly, missed the fact that some of the documents you provided include damning evidence."

The fact that military officials can’t give the President of the United States an honest assessment of the war in Iran—and have to placate him by showing him videos of stuff blowing up—should be concerning to everyone.

"Epstein's accountant and lawyer told House panel government investigators never interviewed them." The lack of interest by the government in learning the truth about Epstein and his confederates--the desire NOT to discover the truth--is horrifying. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

This was the moment right here. The moment that, if people had any basic levels of empathy or any shred of morality, that Trump should have been done. Instead, he and the other corrupt and evil people he surrounds himself with have pushed and pushed and taken what the want with no consequences.

Trump on rising gas prices because of his #Iran war of choice/distraction: "If they rise, they rise" Hey MAGA...is THIS what you voted for?

In retrospect, it seems like changing the department's name to Department of War was a strong signal of what this administration wanted to do, huh

Once again we see all Republicans in Congress (except the usual 2 or 3) cheerleading another illegal war based on LIES. I hope this make it clear to younger Americans that the GOP is the party of wars based on lies. First with Iraq. Now with Iran. The GOP works for the big defense contractors!

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical. My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able. You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

In Hungary, the right wing leader Viktor Orban's oligarchs bought all the opposition media outlets. Now they own 80% of all news media. That is big part of how MAGA beloved Orban has been able to stay in power. Same goal for Trump and his oligarchs in the US.
