Congratulations to ECU-endorsed @shannontaylorva.com on her primary win for #VA01. As an #UnrigWashington member, she’s focused on making life more affordable for working people in her district and rooting out corruption in Washington. We look forward to helping elect her.

🗣️ Say it louder for the people in the back: We need to give up on nostalgia for the past. Donald Trump has decimated the government in some profound, irreversible ways. The only way forward? Building something newer and better, Marc Elias says. Watch below👇 https://demdock.com/4w4O9mk

DOJ is now 0-20 in cases to obtain state voter files. Here is the list: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

Michigan's primary election tomorrow is a big one: Democrats will choose between Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive candidate, and Rep. Haley Stevens, the more moderate, establishment-backed choice. It's another telling moment for the party's direction.

The Democratic Party Playbook Is On The Ballot In Michigan

REPUBLICANS POKED THE BEAR They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. New data shows they helped drive higher Black voter turnout in parts of the South instead. 📌 Alabama saw one of the biggest increase in Black voter mobilization. That will matter in @dougjones.bsky.social gov race.

Cynicism is Donald Trump’s friend. Don’t give in. “We need to be realistic about the fight ahead,” Marc Elias says, “but we also need to insist that the courts do their job. And in this case, that means restraining a president who is out of control.” Join our fight: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Max Miller’s livestream was all about denying his ex-wife’s allegations. Abusers often blame the victim. Do you know what he didn’t address? 2000 pages of police reports, a high school girlfriend pushed down the steps, Trump‘s former press secretary’s confirmation of abuse. A pattern. #SheShed

The most corrupt, unethical AG in the US history will now take office after a sham deal with retiring Republican senators. Now this lawless DOJ will run amok with Trump’s criminal defense attorney carrying out his retribution tour against the innocent while the guilty go free.

If you don’t approve of Donald Trump, then you don’t approve of his Republican enablers. Every Republican in the House and Senate votes with Donald Trump over 99% of the time. Show them how you feel about that with your vote in November!

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

“Blanche Gives G.O.P. Senators Written Assurances on Trump’s I.R.S. Deal” 1/ Blanche didn’t sign the IRS assurance. 2/ There’s still a huge IRS break for the Trumps worth tens of millions of dollars. 3/ Trump could reimpose the $1.8B insurrectionist slush fund later, after Blanche gets confirmed.

Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general has been held up over concerns about a planned $1.8 billion fund for Trump allies and the president’s immunity from tax scrutiny.

I love Georgia, I really do. MLK, John Lewis, Jimmy Carter, Ralph Abernathy Jr., Stacey Abrams, their two senators today, Jon Ossoff, and Raphael Warnock ... So much inspiration has been born there. When freedom rings again In November, it will emanate from the Peach State.

The divide couldn’t be more stark You’re either for decency, truth, facts, science, democracy, pluralism Or you’re for a lying sack of racist rapey Russian pigshit who is stealing you blind because…well There’s no good answer to that

This is a woman who knows a thing or two about Republican election trickery. “They are ruthless. We need to be ruthless too… I do not mean cruel, that is not our nature. By that, I do not mean breaking the law, that is not what we do. But I do mean we must be uncompromising.”~ Kamala Harris
