At this time next week, we will all be watching the election results come in. We’ve been building towards this moment for two years and we’re on the verge of handing the fascists the historic loss they deserve — but we can’t afford to take anything for granted with a desperate Trump regime.

Will the DOJ’s cases against James Comey succeed? Probably not, though for Trump, convictions may not be the point. Among other things, he’s signaling to foes that he can orchestrate prosecutions based entirely on his whims and petty desires, without regard for merit. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowThe DOJ’s cases against Comey will likely fail. For Trump, a conviction may not be the point.The former FBI director said the developments “would almost be funny if it weren’t such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice.”

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowThe Trump administration keeps clashing with faith communitiesLast year the White House said Joe Biden and his administration “abused and targeted Christians.” A year later, the hypocrisy is staggering.

Trump’s team urged him not to celebrate higher oil prices ahead of the midterms. He ignored them — again. The guy seems convinced that consumers will celebrate Big Oil cashing in, even as they suffer at the pump. This probably isn’t what Republicans want voters to hear. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowTrump ignores his own team’s advice, celebrates higher oil pricesThe more consumers suffer, the more money oil companies make. The president is celebrating this as part of his closing message ahead of the midterms.
