61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.

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."

Durbin: "Mr. Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about a statement he made in a roomful of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

Americans are suffering all over the country and the orange felon is playing golf and congratulating himself on winning a tournament even though it’s well known that he always cheats at golf. I hate him.

This has been a problem from the beginning. Dismantle ICE… Native Americans are U.S. citizens. Reports of ICE questioning and detaining Native Americans, including challenges to tribal IDs, should concern every American. Don’t tell me this is only about immigration status anymore.

Trump sued Capital One for “debanking” him over politics. Capital One’s response: our anti-money laundering team spent months reviewing your 300+ accounts and recommended closing them. Not vibes. Compliance. Great Substack here by Dean Blundell!⬇️⬇️ #USDemocracy open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

Trump Sued His Bank For Being “Woke.” The Bank Just Told The Court Its Money Laundering Team Closed His Accounts. Whoops.

Trump sad Capital One closed his bank accounts because they were woke "never Trumpers." New court documents say, "you were laundering money through 300 different accounts." WHOAH.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Much like bribe for hire Pam Bondi, MAGA crook Todd Blanche is a full-on pedophile protecting criminal whose only purpose is to personally cover up crimes for the biggest criminal in the country. He should in jail, not in the Dept of Justice.

Meredith O’Rourke raised hundreds of millions of dollars from corporations for Trump’s pet projects. Last week, @wsj.com released new reporting showing the extent to which she has facilitated these pay-to-play schemes. This is blatant corruption and Oversight Dems will get answers.
