Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents

We don’t have to see eye-to-eye on every issue, but I believe in finding things we have in common rather than letting every difference divide us. Something I know we can all agree on: too many communities across our state have been overlooked. We can do better and we can do it together.

🚨BREAKING: In a loss for voters, Missouri's top election official blocked the citizen-led referendum on the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander from appearing on the ballot this fall. While the battle isn’t over, the move denies Missourians right to block the map from use in the midterms.

A white woman whitesplaining why the left doesn’t make inroads with us “ignorant Negroes” is a way to go, Emma. Funny how we’rethe ones who’ve never bought the magic beans white voters fall for every time.

Tell me again who voted in the Democratic Party. These racist assholes think Black voters just fell off a turnip truck. They are the voters, the poll workers and the people who canvass.

Remember these 20 Republican Senators who pledged to strip voting rights from millions of Americans by supporting Trump’s Voter Suppression “SAVE America Act.” Senator Mike Lee Senator Rick Scott Senator Tommy Tuberville Senator Jim Banks Senator Ashley Moody Senator Darline Graham Senator Bill

Black voters have been shit on by our fellow Americans so much that we trust no one who doesn't run with us. Black voters are some of the most progressive voters in this country. Without us, there wouldn't be nearly the progress America has witnessed over the past century plus. 3/6

We know the candidates. We know the platforms. We know how to detect bullshitters. America has taught us not to trust the shiny new object because the shiny new object is usually some bullshit wrapped up in a pretty little facade. 2/6

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

Y’all are racist as HELL. And you really think we can’t see you saying this mess in👏🏾broad👏🏾daylight👏🏾 Your coded “low information voters” rhetoric translates to indignation that we have the nerve to think for ourselves—you resent that you can’t get us to fall for the okie doke. Racist and dumb.

Ah yes, the old Black voters are “low information” trope. I remember Bernie Sanders pushed that same smear when Black voters saw clearly who he was and what he stood for and didn’t choose to vote for him. The DSA/left is never beating the racist allegations.

NEW: Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts is *pissed* at DOJ. She does not hold back, calling out DOJ's bad-faith litigating in the TPS cases, in addition to the overarching "shameful cruelty" of what the Trump administration is doing. From her latest order in the Somalia TPS case:

Leaving aside the shameful cruelty inherent in eschewing a “wind down period” for
people under threat of deportation, many of whom are productive members of our communities
who have lived here for years, built a life here, worked here and raised their families here, the
Court is mindful of both the Supreme Court ruling and the recent First Circuit judgment in this
case. That said, the Court will also not abdicate its responsibility to make thoughtful, wellreasoned decisions after affording all parties a full and fair opportunity to be heard. It is
therefore ORDERED that Plaintiffs respond to Defendants’ motion to lift the stay, [ECF No.
97], by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026. The Court further amends the scheduling order on
supplemental briefing, [ECF No. 82]. Pursuant to the amended schedule, Defendants’ brief is
also due by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026, and any reply brief by Plaintiffs will be due by
5:00 p.m. on August 6, 2026. The Court anticipates a decision on Defendants’ motion, which
will be accompanied by a decision on Plaintiffs’ emergency motion if the Court decides to lift
the administrative stay, early next week. Should Defendants return to the First Circuit prior to
that as they threaten in their motion, the Court will assume that it has lost jurisdiction, which will
delay its rulings.
SO ORDERED.

“Milei announced a congressional bill built on three pillars: keep AI unregulated, create a new legal category called the non-human corporation, & offer a low corporate tax rate to attract tech investment. The historical reference he chose to anchor it was the Dutch East India Company…” 7/30/26 …1/

The man himself, chainsaw in hand at conservative gatherings one year, rewriting corporate law the next. I'll give him this: he knows how to make headlines.
In a Financial Times op-ed published in early June, Milei announced a
congressional bill built on three pillars: keep Al unregulated, create a new legal category called the non-human corporation, and offer a low corporate tax rate to attract tech investment. The historical reference he chose to anchor it was the Dutch East India Company, founded in 1602, which he positioned as the legal innovation that made capitalism possible. Buenos Aires, he suggested, could do for Al what Amsterdam did for the age of sail.
It is a genuinely bold premise. And it you only read the headlines, it sounds revolutionary. If you, however, read the actual bill, it gets considerably more complicated.

Three ways Republican SoS Denny Hoskins might go: 1) Certify referendum - very unlikely 2) Rule signatures insufficient - unlikely 3) Rule that congressional maps cannot be targeted by veto referenda - most likely #3 is based on the discredited "independent state legislature" theory.
