"Reluctantly," a federal judge dismisses the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases. Trump DOJ "excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle." "The court cannot write a different ending," he adds. buff.ly/NvVKnaW
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Insane. Republicans have to go.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterdayBREAKING: The nomination of Trump's former personal lawyer to be Attorney General just advanced to the full Senate. Judiciary Republicans caved: All 12 Republicans voted in favor of Todd Blanche. All 10 Democrats voted against.
"I Love Boosters" is one of the wackiest original movies out this year. Bold production design, fast pacing, constant inventive insanity all make a solid backdrop to a story of retail theft and workers rights.
Trump is lying. WaPo knows he is lying. We all know he is lying. Yet, the Post cannot say it. Support independent prodemocracy media that never backs down from the truth. demdock.com/4w6emld
FLAG: The Senate has just adopted by unanimous consent a non-binding resolution opposing a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell for any crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Give a deadline of July 29, and a replacement appointed July 30.

Executive Orders are memos, not laws; the Executive branch has no constitutional authority over State-run elections.

The White House posted on Facebook claiming that 198 Democrats voted against banning members of Congress from trading stocks while in office. What they don’t tell you is that House Republicans attached the SAVE Act to the bill.
Stephen Miller's insistence on dehumanizing protestors and free-speech advocates is in advance of his aims to eliminate humans who oppose POTUS on any subject.
PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · 3w agoMiller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli
A reminder from an 11th Circuit ruling, penned by the very conservative Chief Judge William Pryor in December 2023, STATES ADMINISTER ELECTIONS, NOT PRESIDENTS. The case was Mark Meadows trying to get his Fulton County case to federal court. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
Whenever Donald Trump is losing, he reaches for the same playbook: Relitigate the 2020 election, spread debunked conspiracy theories, and try to convince Americans they can't trust the next election. We gotta call it out.
Yup. They didn’t have evidence when they sued 63 times. They didn’t have evidence in defense against the Jack Smith indictment, and they don’t have evidence now.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 3w agoJonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.
The only thing Trump’s document dump proved tonight was that there was Russian collusion. That’s fucking hilarious to me.
Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
The 25th was made for this moment. It won't be used because Trump nominated cowards. Impeachment was made for this moment. It won't be used because America elected cowards. The federal courts were made to stop this. They won't because lifetime appointments reward cowardice.
This is the speech a fascist madman gives mere hours or days before he starts signing executive orders that are manifestly and unambiguously part and parcel of an active insurrection against his government and an attempt to permanently destroy a democracy He's *visibly* deranged

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
Reminder: As DNI, Gabbard commissioned two reports from firms who examined voting machines. Both reports say there was no voter fraud in 2020. Trump is blocking the release of those reports. Gabbard briefed the White House. She no longer works at DNI.

Pete Hegseth: We need a $1.5 trillion military budget so we can keep doing invasions like Venezuela and bomb more countries like Iran. And it would not happen without Trump.
POTUS' former lawyer, nominated for Attorney General, will unlawfully steer the Department of Justice to use ICE and the National Guard to intimidate and obstruct voters nationwide this November.
