Kremlev is the head of the International Boxing Association, a scandal-plagued sports group that has been financed by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom. The wedding payments came from an IBA-affiliated entity in Dubai that the boxing association uses for financial transactions.

After losing in the district & appellate courts, the Trump Admin has lost at the Supreme Court. Today’s decision is a victory for our democracy and a powerful affirmation of the rule of law. We’ll remain vigilant in safeguarding our elections, & urge every eligible voter to make their voice heard.

Jean Chrétien had a message for 'our American friends' while speaking at the 9/11 commemoration. 'Canadians are tolerant and kind,' said the former PM in front of the U.S. ambassador. '[But] never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness.'

It's clear that President Trump wants to interfere in the midterm elections. The information we received from the USPS whistleblower is extremely concerning, and all Democrats need to take this on.

The ballroom, his arch, all the other lawless vanity projects of Trump—these are monuments to America’s worst and most buffoonish president. Can’t wait to see these torn down.

While attention in America is mainly on #Iran, war against #Ukraine continues as #Putin plans a major escalation following #Russian elections in mid-Sept with additional 300-600,000 troops are estimated. #Ukraine continues resistance but is seriously short promised munitions. They need #US support.

A #USPS ballot snafu could royally confuse/upend #2026Midterms unless court issues an injunction. While being #UnConstitutional, the USPS #Ballot sorting plan according to #Trump orders to only deliver subcategories, the software & implementation protocols are definitely “not ready for primetime.“

A whistleblower warns that a new, untested USPS online portal for mail-in ballots could cause catastrophic election disruptions. Senator Blumenthal claims the system threatens voter disenfranchisement, while the USPS insists it remains secure and lawful.

Trump attacked communities opposing massive data centers as wanting to be “backwards and poor.” Now even his own MAGA supporters are revolting against him on Truth Social, and their responses are brutal.

Such blatant CORRUPTION in the Trump administration. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

2/ Texas put 1.2 million voters on a "suspended" list. Show up on Election Day and you face extra bureaucratic hoops, provisional ballots, or a forced trip back to your old county. Hardest hit: Dallas, Tarrant, and Denton. None of this is accidental.

#Texas is working REALLY hard to limit who will be able to vote in #2026Midterms! Beware, several counties, including #TarrantCounty are drastically reducing polling locations, especially on college campuses. You’re strongly advised, if mailing a ballot, to mail it no later than Oct 29. #Protest
