Let's get hot, Californians! #VoteEarly #VoteBlue
Hey California! 85℅ of you have NOT returned your ballots!!! WTF. Yes we're a blue state that most of our elected candidates at the House and Senate race may not change much of the outcome nationally BUT we have propositions that could affect future laws in the country. Don't be complacent. VOTE!

Love ya, Kamala Harris, but hard disagree. Impeach in the House. Don’t care if the Senate doesn’t convict. If I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, I’d feel duty-bound to impeach in the House. To at least try. And to be as much of a thorn in the side to this administration as I could be.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

The Russians are helping the Republicans and once again the Republicans are accepting their help. This has become so normal everyone has forgotten to be enraged by it.
“One of the targets is Sherrod Brown, who is running against Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio. The video, which appears to include some AI manipulation, depicts a newscast and includes a picture of Haya Akbik, who interned for Brown several years ago.” apnews.com/article/midt...

21 states and DC sued Trump for gutting a 2021 anti-corruption law. His rule exempts over 99.9% of companies from reporting who owns them. Shell companies stay anonymous. Launder away. https://wncy.com/2026/10/27/trump-administration-sued-over-rollback-of-corporate-ownership-reporting-rules/

The DOJ dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in the first six months of Trump’s second term. (Published March)

Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who can put cases together for future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.
We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account. Watch Mark Blumberg and Brad Adams launch this new initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

I mistakenly read this as “he adds a tab to your drink when you’re not looking” but that’s also correct.
Every Texas bar has that one guy. He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Is this what Putin promised Trump? They wouldn't even have to change votes for Trump to call it an emergency and try shut down the election due to foreign interference.
BREAKING: A hacker is attempting to breach the US Federal Election Commission's systems and that agency has had to 'temporarily shut down' its web-facing services as a result, according to an email seen by Reuters reut.rs/4zY7fwQ

There is no way Trump and Witkoff can realistically believe that lifting sanctions and making money and deals with Russia is going to end the war in Ukraine, so the only explanation is that they are consciously siding with and trying to help Russia win. Very few things infuriate me this much.
On Earth 1 this Putin slush fund would be stopped by Congress. "The consideration of more sanctions relief for Russia...shows how the Kremlin is using a recent flurry of diplomacy over the war in Ukraine to advance an agenda that appears to have little to do with securing peace." 🎁 t2m.co/FEejY9f

I think what’s going on here is that Trump is sending lists of names that sound immigranty to state election officials and claiming - with no evidence - they’re non-citizens as a pretext to seize ballots.
It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.
