I prefer presidents who don’t have their accounts closed over money laundering concerns.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
Damn. This is so disheartening. Judge Mehta has dismissed the Seditious Conspiracy charges against the Oath Keepers.
Adam Klasfeld@klasfeldreports.com · 24h ago"Reluctantly," a federal judge dismisses the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases. Trump DOJ "excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle." "The court cannot write a different ending," he adds. buff.ly/NvVKnaW

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
Hey Seattle don’t forget to vote by tomorrow evening, the low turnout for August elections means your vote is going to be extra potent, like you’ve been gooning for democracy
Lefty Cheat Sheet@electioncheatsheet.org · 2d agoYour boss and your landlord have voted.
Tillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"
🚨Don't fall for it. Todd Blanche didn't rewrite Trump's controversial IRS deal. He released a late-night DOJ memo designed to help secure the votes for his confirmation. We read the fine print. Here's what it actually says. 👇
Todd Blanche's Midnight Confirmation Gambit Doesn't Actually Rewrite Trump's Deal
And the "concerned" senators and much of the media are falling for it.

The idea that a war only exists if there are casualties does not appear in the text of the Constitution. Nor does it appear in Madison’s notes on the Constitutional convention debates. Nor is there evidence it was discussed in ratification debates. It is made up.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."
Media outlets should be skeptical of claims wildfires were started by specific people.

No to any election deniers. No to attempting to hand in FAKE ELECTORAL SLATES. That's a double-edged sword....hurts us all. Hurts the states and the country as a whole. WIN ON MERIT/the people's votes, not cheating. Thankful Mike Pence is loyal to democracy and denied corruption.
@msnowreports.bsky.social This hearing is not news. We all know the results. PLEASE cover our elections instead. Viewers need to feel powerful, not powerless.
Anyone who can find the video of Josh Holly running away from the January Sixers just put it on the Web. Remind people of what a little whiny baby he is.
Russell Vought literally said he wanted to put people in trauma. What kind of person says that. A sociopath, a sadist that's what. They like to hurt people. They're all sociopaths! The entire fucking Cabinet.
The best measure of how America is doing isn’t the stock market, or GDP growth. It’s how well most Americans are living — and right now most are struggling.

Montana deserves senators who know the Constitution, understand their responsibilities, and remember that their oath is to We the People, not to any president. Let's send someone to Washington who swore an oath to the Constitution and actually knows what it says.
