What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

What is broken in Washington state politics that allows something this vile anywhere near a ballot?

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

This is an excellent metaphor for why the mainstream media's sanewashing of Trump and Republicans is actively harmful in this moment.

In my Stop the Presses newsletter a few months ago, I used a hurricane metaphor to explain why it’s wrong for major media to report on Trump’s authoritarian symptoms but not diagnose the disease. www.stopthepresses.news/p/the-media-...

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

STOP SCROLLING Why I’m sounding the alarm: VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms. The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

Here's what I hope will be just one of many bright spots in your day... this one has been quite the ride!

You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport? Naturally talented athletes. And people with high hemoglobin. And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches. Why should they be allowed to compete? “Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.

DoorDash has been silent as ICE detains and murders their delivery drivers. But to avoid a 20-cent tax on delivery orders, DoorDash is now backing a bill that would give Trump more authority over DC and its residents. Delete your account until DoorDash stops fighting to give the regime more power.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

A year ago, just 42% of Americans opposed a data center being built in their community. Today, a staggering 75% do. Are data centers really that bad? Let’s take a look.

Tim Taylor reposted

every single person pushing this angle is intellectually bankrupt. The data centers being built today are for NOTHING other than AI compute, and are much, much larger and more destructive. If none of them got built, services like online banking, social media and streaming would continue to function.

FYI, here's a statement from Sandy Hook family lawyer Chris Mattei: "The Connecticut families’ landmark $1.4 billion verdict is completely unaffected by this decision. The CT families are actively enforcing their judgments and the inevitable liquidation of Infowars and Jones’s assets continues."

I'm sorry but it's clearly newsworthy that the President's decisions are being unduly influenced by a mentally unstable obsessive no one voted for who has attached themselves to him in an effort to live out weird fantasies they've had for decades. Something has to be done about Stephen Miller.

Ummm... this is... disturbing.

After careful consideration, I've determined that right-wing politics and "ideals" are simply a cancer that needs to be cut out of the American body politic completely. As completely as they are attempting to suppress the left. And then some.

Criminal slumlord Jared Kushner’s corrupt $5B resort plan in Albania has all but effectively collapsed after the country froze all of his assets that are tied with his money laundering project. Good. Well done to the Albanian people who refused to see this happen.
