Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 3h agoReuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be unlikely to risk transit without paying."

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!🥳
It’s NOT “an American achievement” and anyone saying so is a f-cking moron. There is no ‘win’ from this situation. America has literally made thing WAY worse than where Obama got humanity on the issue. And no one should let them whitewash this utterly avoidable mess.
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/...

Tax cheat wins the presidency and abuses the office of the president to continue cheating. Republicans leaders give him the thumbs up.

Btw, just in case you had any illusions left that Trump’s promise of a license for Ukraine to was genuine, the US NATO ambassador just said nothing can happen until winter at the earliest. It was all a cruel joke to weaken Ukraine by the USA. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...
