This would be hilarious if it didn’t describe the elected leader of our country. Please VOTE! deanblundell.substack.com/p/video-trum...

We’re seeing three Watergate-level scandals a day, and then we forget them. There’s so much of it that none of it sticks. @milestaylor.bsky.social They threw us out while filming Trump’s corruption. We’re releasing the film anyway. open.substack.com/pub/defiance...

So true.

Far-right social media users are pushing false claims apparently aimed at depicting the unrest as driven by pro-Palestinian immigrants and Islamist terrorists. @newsguard.bsky.social French Unrest Inflamed by Misinformation open.substack.com/pub/newsguar...

Even after all this time, the hypocrisy is still stunning!

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Donald Trump set another record. There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry. Until now.

This week’s claim that ballots with written markings from poll workers are not counted in U.S. elections is FALSE. Some states actually require that ballots be marked by poll workers, such as the voting precinct number. Marked-Up Ballots Are Okay open.substack.com/pub/newsguar...

This chart about data center construction blew my mind. Watch.

BREAKING: Trump DOJ sued CA with an unconstitutional & illegal demand to start throwing out mail in ballots weeks before the election We @democracydefendersfund.org & @campaignlegal.org are intervening, repping the NAACP & @lulacorg.bsky.social to shut down this unkosher baloney It will not stand!

The American people pay Musk vast sums in government contracts. Then he takes those vast sums to buy democracy. It does not have to be this way. It is a choice we are making. It is a self-destructive choice.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

Clear whose side he is really on. And it’s not Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Great work finding and screen shooting this before Katie took it down!

Executing a search warrant while early voting is underway in Minnesota, on an old, moldy "crime" is all you need to know about the motivation here. Absolutely no reason not to wait until the second week of November. It's abundantly clear that this is about politics, not a legitimate prosecution.

Media consolidation has handed most of the big networks to billionaires who are either Trump allies or have business before his administration. But pulling the story only made it bigger. ABC News Hands Massive Gift to Trump Family open.substack.com/pub/briantyl...

Blaming Ukraine's president for U.S. diesel prices is the political equivalent of burning dinner and then deciding the smoke detector is the problem.

His incompetence is destroying our economy, and now he thinks funding Putin’s war machine is the solution. 🤯

The judge ruled the department cannot legally share such data with DHS to run through a federal database to check registrants' citizenship status — even in states that voluntarily handed over their voter rolls. However, the 18 states that complied can still use the database at their own discretion.

🚨BREAKING: A judge ruled the DOJ's policy of collecting states' unredacted voter rolls and urging them to remove voters flagged as ineligible is illegal. "This policy...has left untold numbers of disenfranchised voters in its wake and inflicted injuries to the Plaintiffs' privacy," the court wrote.

Alito is “on the ballot” this November. He’s telling voters that he is considering retiring next year if voters return Republicans to power in the Senate. This should light a fire under Democratic voters in all 50 states. @elienyc.bsky.social

This is very useful information to have!

The US has lost 21,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office. But why is bringing them back the goal? Why are we trying to push people into lower paying work? https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/manufacturing-is-what-rich-people

Brilliant summary. Could be said about just about the entire leadership team though. Unfit to Serve anntelnaes.substack.com/p/unfit-to-s...

BREAKING: ICE collected millions of voter records and considered undercover investigations against voter registration groups, documents reveal. It's one of the clearest pictures yet of how deeply Trump's immigration enforcement apparatus has become involved in elections.

Reform of SCOTUS should be a priority. This is not an attack so much as playing smart defense of our democratic values

Ineligible votes are exceedingly rare, yet treated as a grave threat to our elections. But when far more ballots from eligible voters get rejected over technicalities, nobody bats an eye. And the imbalance works to Trump's advantage: https://demdock.com/4zfOYLe

24. As Jack Smith said Tuesday, "grand juries in two separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions ... Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power."

15. Jonathan Bernstein noted today that Schmitt's humiliation stems from the fact that the rightwing media he consumes has made the Republican Party extremely lazy. goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/the-schmit...

“Just as the words of Judge Edelman provide us a picture of the kind of America we should demand, Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump provide us a picture of the kind of future we will have if Americans fail to stand up and curb their power.” www.americaamerica.news/p/fighting-f...

Latest piece out. There was some confusion about why the UK, France and the Baltics were not invited by the US to its NATO meeting. Its actually brutally simple and part of a US strategy of divide and rule towards European security. And it might work. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/divide-and...

Congress appropriated taxpayer dollars to honor officers killed in the line of duty. Donald Trump used that money for campaign ads. If you need a clearer illustration of who he is and what he values, you won't find one.

Gotta say it. Jack Smith is killing it! 👍

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

POLITICO Magazine publishes a report by NewsGuard analysts finding that when asked about the midterm elections, AI chatbots cite partisan sites disguised as independent outlets nearly half the time. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

⚠️ If local election officials refuse to certify results, they could throw the midterms into chaos. While a single county official can’t overturn an election by refusing to certify, it has still become a tool to delay results and cast doubt. And it has happened recently: https://demdock.com/4dSTNS7

🚨 BREAKING: In a major loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to initiate voter roll purges using a flawed database involving Americans' private data. The ruling will disproportionately impact naturalized citizens who've been wrongly flagged in the system.

This is serious. 🤯

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

In case you missed Susan Collins embroiled in a pay-to-play scheme… Maine, it’s time to send Susan Collins packing this November. We can’t afford six more years of being sold out to Trump and Collins’ corporate cronies.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
