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.

Josh Turek wants something better for Iowans — he’s the Dem running to flip the Senate. Just an amazing human being! He wants to lower costs, raise wages, restore Roe,protect workers, SS & Medicare, reproductive healthcare and will fight for farmers and education. More of this 🙏🏼 #BlueWaveIn90Days
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…
This gets lost in the news because there's so much corruption on a daily basis! In any other Administration, it would be bombshell news!!
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.
This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.
All I can say to this sickness is that I’m glad I’m 66 and not 6 , I mean WTF have we become as a society? This is pure evil.
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
it's not why *everything* sucks, but having all three branches of the federal government captured by thieves, abusers, bigots, and cowards is definitely why a lot of things suck
David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.
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.
NO ONE wants Data Centers. NO ONE wants their cars tracking your every movements. NO ONE wants Flock camera's. So who the fuck is installing them? And why are we just taking it???
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.

Democrats Signal That They Are Coming After Trump's Corrupt Pardon Abuse
Democrats have new legislation that they say would bring transparency and accountability to the presidential pardon process, and reaffirm that bribery laws apply to the president.

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.
CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)
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.
16/ The clearest example isn’t even about a prosecutor. In 2020, Daniel Perry drove into a crowd of protesters in Austin and shot Garrett Foster dead. A Travis County jury convicted Perry of murder in 2023. gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-pardons-daniel-perry-following-board-recommendation

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.
For Trump, the answer to this ad question is "rubles."
🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed. 1/
There needs to be a term for when someone tries to mansplain you a topic they learned about five minutes ago that you literally wrote the book about.
Facts! If we survive RFK JR’s catastrophic tenure as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, it will because of experts like Dr. Hotez and Dr. Fauci.
