Trump’s AG Todd Blanche says if anyone in the Trump administration is impeached, he will be their lawyer. “Blanche is losing his marbles,” Marc Elias says. They want you to stop paying attention. Follow us so you don’t miss a thing.

Congratulations Senator Elect Scott Colom!! After they call Mary Peltola's win in Alasks that will mean Democrat have 56 seats in the Senate. That puts a supermajority within reach in 2028. Keep your foot on the gas people!!!

NEW: A U.S. Attorney escalated threats against Democratic congressional oversight in a Wednesday letter to Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) The federal prosecutor demanded Blumenthal hand over oversight documents or face "significant legal consequences." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

U.S. attorney threatens Democratic senator with prosecution for conducting oversight

Is Trump being lured into a wider war with Iran? A new analysis by Brett Erickson warns that the administration’s escalating economic warfare may be a Trojan horse designed to provoke the very Iranian military response it claims to want to avoid. And even the hawks see the danger.

No War, No Peace, No Logic: The Trojan Horse

Trump may be avoiding an all-out war with Iran, but his administration’s escalating economic warfare could be setting the stage for exactly that.

Colom to Meidas: Thank you for giving me the opportunity very early on, when nobody thought Mississippi would be on the radar, to tell my story. God bless you. Since then, we went out there and we did the work. And the people of Mississippi got behind me, and they're ready for a new direction.

This is my hope: Voters in states with new Democratic senators will *finally* see a contrast in how their state’s senators vote. For example, people in Texas will see how Ted Cruz votes for trolly cultural war nonsense—and how James Talarico votes for THEM.

It has been an honor to be part of the legal team that helped secure this historic victory. I could not be prouder of the work Elias Law Group does every day to help Democrats like Scott Colom win elections, citizens vote and progressives make change.

🚨BREAKING: Democrat Scott Colom has won Mississippi’s U.S. Senate race, unseating Republican incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, CNN and others are projecting. Colom will be the first Black senator to represent the state in over 140 years.

Colom: It's like my mom, when I was growing up, she told me, "Scott, if you talk too much, your ears start to shrink. And if they shrink too much, you won't be able to hear." President Trump and Senator Hyde-Smith have been talking too much. They haven't been listening.

Jensen Huang cheated on his wife with a foreign spy and will lose his job. Donald Trump cheated on his wife with a porn actress and *is* a foreign spy, but gets reelected. Bolsonaro staged a coup over a lost election and was jailed. Trump staged a coup over a lost election and was reelected.

@waltermasterson.bsky.social dropped in to Cindy Hyde-Smith’s office to let her know that she lost. And congratulated Scott Colom on becoming the first Black Senator in Mississippi since 1881.

Genuinely embarrassing stuff from a U.S. Attorney over on X dot com. It’s patently absurd to suggest that there’s a criminal predicate here. But even if there were…why exactly would the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas be the one to prosecute it?

After the election, @SenBlumenthal & his allies think they can intimidate Americans for their constitutionally protected associations w/ President Trump.
Congress is not a weapon to be wielded against the American people.
I'm taking the first step to stop this abuse of power.

Dear Senator Blumenthal:
In recent weeks, you have threatened citizens for associating themselves with the
President and other public officials. Yet theạifreedom to engage in association for the advancement of beliefs and ideas is an inseparable aspectồi of our Constitution and way of life. It is also extraordinary for an elected official to intimidate citizens for engaging in philanthropic practices that will benefit our nation for generations. The American people are entitled to freely associate without elected officials terrorizing them with aggressive, harassing government action.
I therefore write to formally give you notice of your obligation to preserve all documents, communications, and other electronically stored information relevant to your intent to deprive citizens of their core constitutional rights in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 and 242. You are obligated to preserve all potentially relevant evidence related to your efforts to suppress associational activities for philanthropic projects throughout the nation's capital. Failure to do so may result in sanctions, adverse-inference instructions, or other penalties, and may carry significant legal consequences. This demand applies to you, your staff, employees, agents, consultants, campaign personnel, and any other person acting on your behalf or in concert with you.
Please confirm in writing by 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 18, 2026 that you have received this letter and have taken steps to preserve the materials described above.
Respectfully, Aaron F. Reitz
United States Attorney
