NEW: Maricopa County will restore 25 voters’ registrations after they were falsely flagged as noncitizens, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced. Mayes sued Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap (R) Thursday, demanding that he add the voters back to the registration rolls.

A major problem with political journalism is the perceived obligation to treat Republicans and Democrats equally, to be "nonpartisan." The NY Times editor in this video thinks this way. But as I explain, Dems vs. GOP is a simplistic focus. It should be decency vs. indecency, democracy vs. fascism.

By doing away with Trump’s huge tax-cuts for himself and Mar a Lago Billionaire elites, many of whom are doubling their already grotesque amount of Billion$ they had before supporting corporate fascist, Russian sponsored pedophile traitor Trump. They’ll just have to survive with only 3 super yachts?

what is amazing is that i was fired by MSNBC for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk. And CBS refuses to do anything about journalists telling lies about Dem. candidates. Unreal.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

In Starship Troopers, there is a naked shower scene. The actors insisted if they had to be naked then the director had to be also. And he was.

Voters have the power & Trump admin is AFRAID of you That's why they brought their B.S. lawsuit about noncitizen voter registration last week--& that's why they arrested a tiny handful of folks in CA today Don't be deterred by these pre-election stunts. VOTE EARLY! We at DDF r fighting back👇

The US economy is about 12 times larger than the Russian economy and per capita output is six times larger. CA, NY and TX surpass Russian output. It's a minor economic country. But Trump only wants to match the scale of theft and dictatorial, oligarchic rule of Putin, the people be damned.

Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don't, and borrow the difference from people who aren't old enough to vote.

NEW: Last week, the DOJ sued California to disenfranchise 20k voters it alleged are noncitizens — a move Democrats warn could lay the groundwork for potential ballot seizures. While Trump has no legitimate ground to seize ballots during the midterms, the bleak reality is he might try anyway.

democracydocket.comSeizing ballots would be an illegal attack on democracy. Trump might try anywayIn bitter irony, disrupting the chain of custody would enable the very kind of “Deep State” vote-count rigging that the pro-Trump conspiracy theorists say they fear.

Many “rigged election” rumors build upon the same story elements or tropes. Maricopa has become a familiar (suspicious) setting, a place where election issues arise or are perceived to arise, & where those issues get wrapped into “rigged election” conspiracy theories. www.wired.com/story/marico...

wired.comMaricopa County, Arizona, Is Again Ground Zero of Election Conspiracy TheoriesIn 2020, Maricopa County became the epicenter for Trump’s claims the election was stolen. Six years, later the president and his allies are dusting off their “rigged” playbook ahead of the midterms.

When Cindy Hyde-Smith was asked about rising beef prices, her advice was to pick another protein. Well, on November 3rd, we’re going to pick another senator. And when I get to the Senate, I’ll fight to bring costs down so working families can afford to put food on the table.

If you want impeachment so badly, you better be fund raising like a mofo to get all those Senate seats flipped during Midterms. No excuses.

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.
