Strongmen are always looking out for number one: themselves. That’s why they create inner sanctums around themselves, surrounding themselves with family members who do not give them objective feedback. We should all be concerned when leaders surround themselves with only sycophants.
🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, a court blocked a USCIS policy banning pro-voting groups from helping new citizens register to vote at naturalization ceremonies. These groups have helped people register at ceremonies for years, which helps address low voter turnout amongst naturalized citizens.

NEW: The Energy Dept. admitted it cancelled federal clean energy grants in states that didn't vote for Trump, with that being the sole criteria. It is yet another example of the Trump administration weaponizing federal resources to undermine democracy and punish his perceived enemies.

“As this court has explained... the [executive order] is unconstitutional,” the judge wrote.

I'm getting the impression that government might just matter, and cutting back on things like food safety while bulking up military and paramilitary forces might have negative consequences. @ryanlcooper.com feels the same way: prospect.org/2026/07/16/h...

In yet another blow to Trump’s effort to seize sensitive voter registration data, a federal judge threw out a DOJ lawsuit seeking West Virginia’s unredacted voter list. The DOJ has yet to win a single court order to obtain unredacted statewide voter data. https://bit.ly/3SXVwOM

The Trump regime is gutting protections for workers' 401(k) plans and opening them up to risky investments like crypto and private equity. The crony leading this charge even ran a company that defended employers from worker lawsuits. Utterly shameless greed.

Trump’s DOJ is sending election monitors to 15 jurisdictions in six states during the 2026 primaries. The program appears to be an effort to obtain information to justify conspiracy theories about election irregularities – a radical departure from past monitoring efforts. https://bit.ly/4vokFj1
