Not sure how many of y’all read and or listen to audiobooks, but I haven’t been able to put this one down!! Came out in 2022 but only just heard about it.

NEW: A dozen attorneys who prosecuted Jan. 6 rioters asked the Senate to stop confirming Trump's election-denying judicial nominees to lifetime seats, especially as they refuse to accept the legal facts of the event. None of the nearly 60 confirmed nominees have called Jan. 6 an "insurrection."

Jan. 6 prosecutors urge Senate to stop confirming Trump's election-denier nominees

“The institutional denial of truth — especially by potential federal judges — is dangerous, yet it’s become all too clear that President Trump expects his nominees to provide evasive answers about bot...

after Max Miller's wife accused him of abusing her and their daughter, our shithole president took Miller's side, and explained that HE was the real victim. holy shit, Republicans fucking suck. thank you for your attention to today's very angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4fEDGZV

adjudicated rapist says what?

look, I did warn you that everybody in this story fucking sucks.

should we really be surprised that Preznit Fuckwit — a guy with 28 of his own credible abuse allegations against him — takes Miller’s side? it’s so sad ‘for HIM to be going through that.’

not the wife who ahem allegedly had a gun held to her head, not the daughter with the broken collar bone, but Max Miller — he’s the real victim here.

Donny’s going to do what he always does: pass the buck. he’s going to let the family work it out amongst themselves. how nice of him. what a kind and generous humanitarian!

with Dear Leader having shown them the True Way Forward, Republicans had their marching orders: pass the buck and say it’s a family matter.

NEW: The Michigan Senate matchup is poised to be one of the most closely watched races in November. As such, Trump wasted no time in spreading false claims of mail voter fraud, laying the groundwork of a voting conspiracy to lean on if his election-denying candidate of choice loses.

Trump, MAGA already pushing conspiracies about Michigan mail voting

It’s no surprise the president and prominent election deniers are already planting the seeds of a voting conspiracy to lean on if El-Sayed beats GOP candidate Mike Rogers.

WIN: A Wisconsin court blocked state laws that discriminated against absentee voters with disabilities in violation of the ADA. Pro-voters argued that the state's current system, which requires absentee voters to fill out and return paper ballots, limits disabled and elderly voters' choices.

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

Former challenger Mallory McMorrow: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”

New Jersey recently disclosed a registration glitch that led to noncitizens being added to the state’s voter rolls. Now, the DOJ claims the rare occurrence is proof that Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order needs to be implemented — and the Supreme Court could weigh in at any moment.

Urging Supreme Court to greenlight Trump’s mail voting order, DOJ seizes on New Jersey registration glitch

It’s just the latest example of Republicans exploiting the error to advance their anti-voting agenda.

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

Global warming is real and we need to fight it. But climate data is starting to look like NBA stats: combine enough variables and there’s always a new “record” or “first ever.” Data matters. Not every possible combination of data does. Fear-driven statistics don’t bring solutions.
