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!🥳

Left-handed, left of center, & counting on being Left Behind. Left coast, natch. Furious at this admin & GOP, anti-American to their rotten core. They’re shredding the Constitution. No interest in sales, self-promotion, & accounts that never interact.
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.
NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
A claim of a short burst of praying after the extended preying. It’s the GOP way.
Republican officials were faced with a massive backlash from outraged voters who packed the meeting room — and two overflow rooms — to demand that their voting locations remain open. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

MacFarlane: I think it's an anti-establishment era we may be entering here. Look at all the different ways in which people are bucking against establishment. If El-Sayed is somebody who channels people who don't want the establishment to run and to reign, he's going to have a big night…
They recently suffered a historically terrible earthquake. Also we're sucking hundreds of billions of dollars out of their economy.
What the president brags of, in his treatment of Venezuela, seems hardly different from his treatment of California or Washington state: pocketing their revenues, denying them aid, sacking them for plunder.

🚨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

Very much the point because if we don’t stick together, it will be so much more awful. Mending fences sounds like hard work but the alternative is a barbed wire-topped chain link disaster.

Haley Stevens had the backing of the Party establishment, AIPAC, and $60 million. She outspent Abdul El-Sayed 9 to 1. Dr El-Sayed overcame all that and host of conservative boomer Dems to become the nominee. And #Michigan hasn’t elected a Republican US Senator since 1994.

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
WHY WOULD ANY USA CITIZEN BE EXEMPT FROM A TAX AUDIT??? Especially The President? He is not a KING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
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.

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Now mixing in paid advertisements into his normal corruption.
If you can’t impeach a President for laundering money, War crimes, corruption, Market Manipulations, illegal Wars nowadays, what can you impeach them for?
