Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

Todd Blanche colluded with his former client, Donald Trump, against his current client, the American People, to give Donald Trump almost TWO BILLION DOLLARS of American taxpayer money. We won't forget. The "case" was complete BS, filed after the statute of limitations had run, and worth $0.

The Trump administration keeps changing how it describes the more than 20,000 people it wants California to block from voting. Why does it matter? It’s basing extraordinary election relief on a list whose certainty has been described in markedly different ways: https://demdock.com/4iDbuId

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

That's just not how it works. And AG Blanche knows it. He's not holding the line against Trump's attempt to subvert the election outcomes. He's facilitating it. The federal government remains the greatest threat to free and fair elections in November.

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

In 2022, Mike Lawler said: “Before you vote tomorrow, fill up your tank and go grocery shopping — it will inform your decision.” So we took him up on that. Before early voting starts tomorrow, try it. Then tell me if the system’s working for you. It shouldn’t be this hard. You deserve better.
