🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

Turnout in #primaries can be extremely low. In #Virginia there are counties w/ 1, 2, 3 & 4% turnout. But Douglas County #Kansas had 40% turnout. Why? In VA there were many uncontested races, but in KS there was a constitutional amendment on the ballot that voters felt strongly about.

#MI Dem Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed & Haley Stevens are neck & neck. But in the results by county, El-Sayed is consistently performing better w/in-person voting, while Stevens is doing better in Absentee ballots. Does anyone local to MI have explanations for this? Maybe older voters voting by mail?

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, an opponent of Donald Trump’s anti-voting agenda, won the Democratic nomination Tuesday to be the state’s next governor. She’ll face off against a Republican who opposes virtually everything she stands for. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

NEW EPISODE: DOJ is now 0-20 in the voter roll cases -- and we are winning. I break down the Trump administration's yearlong effort to build a national voter database, and explain why today we shut the door on Trump's scheme for the midterms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kc3...

Trump's DOJ is 0-20

Primaries in the Midwest have become a high stakes proving ground for progressives

Democratic primary elections in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have made the Midwest a test case for whether progressive candidates can win in competitive states and what electability really means.

Five state primaries are being held today, and Michigan is a key focus for Democrats who want to see how progressives fare in races. And, a man has been arrested in connection with a Spokane fire. n.pr/4wHu2Me

Just another casual reminder that you’re being laughed at by corporates because a) governments facilitate them and b) we don’t push back. Cost of living crisis, for you not for them.

If Democrats retake the majority in the Senate and I become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of my first acts will be to subpoena the bankers that helped Epstein carry out his crimes and help deliver real accountability.
