The Middle Sister

I love it for Ramaswamy that he has tanked his entire political career and made Amy Acton a classic study in courage with one, single ad drop.

Scott Presler is one of the GOP’s most famous election integrity guys. He spends all day reminding his followers to “report any suspicious activity.” The Bulwark did, and an election lawyer said it isn’t a close call. Remember this next time MAGA starts up the voter fraud nonsense. Link in reply.

My friends, can you please offer prayers and send some good energy to the Navajo Nation Reservation and surrounding communities. Pilamaya — thank you 🙏🏾 🪶✨

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Last week, we celebrated Eastern European heritage at Gracie Mansion, because the story of New York City cannot be told without the story of our Eastern European neighbors.

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court rejected DOJ's extraordinary request to bypass the district court in its effort to bar California from counting the ballots of around 20,000 people the Trump administration alleges are “likely” noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Kerry Kennedy says she 'absolutely' blames her brother, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., for recent measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania. The state has surpassed more than 1,000 measles cases this year, making it the largest state outbreak in more than three decades.

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Today @freedomconvoyusa concluded their 3500 journey from LA to DC to march opposing the genocidal apartheid state of Israel and U.S. involvement in its genocide of Palestinians. They trekked across the nation to deliver a petition to Congress, signed by Americans, to demand an end to US complicity.

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

Thousands of Israelites protest against the fascist, racist, genocidal maniac. youtube.com/watch?v=C-xt...

John Pavlovitz Is Right ✅️ But We Must Vote In Overwhelming Numbers, So There's No Doubt...💙

On this day in 1830, Belva Lockwood was born. She became a pioneering attorney and 1884 presidential candidate. In 1894, she challenged Virginia’s refusal to admit her to the state bar. She lost, even though VA’s statute explicitly authorized admission to “any person” admitted elsewhere. #WeTheMen

Thank God the courts are pushing back! Our firewall. 🚨 A federal appeals court just rejected Trump’s emergency attempt to set aside 20,000 California mail-in ballots.

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

It’s happening again. Because why wouldn’t it? Nobody was held accountable last time.

A Russian officer now fights alongside Ukraine’s forces after helping kill 300 former comrades. 26-year-old Lt. Stupnikov became one of Kyiv’s most valuable informants, supplying coordinates, radio frequencies & troop movements helping Ukraine obliterate Russian units. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Ever heard someone say "protest doesn't change anything"? Brazil and Serbia just proved them wrong. 🇧🇷 🇷🇸

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

This is the woman of the week. Virginia Dillard, age 105, got herself all pretty to go vote in Texas. 💙

BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes! The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

“I agree!” shouted James Donald Bowman, James David Hamel, JD Vance, Rafael Cruz, Kashyap Pramod Patel, Nimrata Randhawa, Piyush ‘Bobby’ Jindal, Anna Paulina Mayerhofer-Gamberzky-Luna, and Richard Lynn Myers (Rick Scott) to Donald J. Drumpf.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

One of those moments I'll never forget.

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

On this day in 1895, a Czech Catholic of Jewish origin was born in Žatec. On 10 Aug 1942 he was deported to Theresienstadt, and on 20 Aug 1942 to Riga. He perished in the Shoah. His name was Ing. Josef Hoffmann.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

Did brain worm just rat on no brain?

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

Ronaldo Salgado, son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was tragically shot and killed by ICE in Houston, Texas earlier this year, made a surprise appearance at the Ready. Go. Vote. Rally. Ronaldo, thank you for using your voice to encourage our communities to get out to vote 🗳️

Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

On this day in 1942, a 7 year old Dutch Jewish girl arrived at Auschwitz with her mother where they were murdered after selection. Her father perished in 1944, date and place unknown. Her name was Jansje van Velzen Support @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.
