"If DOJ or ICE agents show up claiming emergency powers, election officials should say that none of their instructions will be obeyed without a court order signed by a judge. The “administrative warrants” issued by Homeland Security are not sufficient." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/o...

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

Californians: Today marks one week until Election Day! If you haven’t made a plan to vote, do it now. Your vote is your voice.

Adam Kinzinger Is Correct......

Don’t let Trump see the two stickers. He will think Mr. Rather voted twice. 😒

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

🚨 BREAKING: Democrats asked a federal court to throw out the DOJ's unprecedented lawsuit that seeks to preemptively block certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race if the Republican incumbent loses.

Robert's Right ✅️.......

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Alright folks, gotta stop there for now! Thanks for spending part of your Saturday with me. Check your registration. GO VOTE! Let’s win this fucking thing.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

When is the devil going to call his spawn home?!

🚨BREAKING: In a win for Utah voters, a Trump-appointed federal judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit seeking to obtain the state's unredacted voter registration list. The ruling puts the department at 0-27 in its sweeping legal effort for access to states' voter data.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats have asked a federal judge to move quickly in their lawsuit seeking to stop the White House from threatening state and local election officials with criminal prosecution and demanding that states remove voters from registration rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice is looking into launching more California-style lawsuits to block “a number of states” from counting ballots for the midterm election. Under the Constitution, states — not the president — run elections, including counting ballots.

Musk belongs in prison.

DHS agents took 12 minutes to decide if you're a citizen. A federal judge just shut that down. Now they can't interview anyone they know or should suspect is a citizen. The point was never fraud. It was fear, and to make you afraid to vote ahead of a midterms that Trump knows he's going to lose.

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

Take Trump seriously when he threatens to jail election officials for doing the job they’re sworn to do: counting votes. “We are not on the precipice of a constitutional crisis,” Marc Elias says. “We have reached it.” They’re betting you’ll stop paying attention. Follow us to prove them wrong.

🚨 FACT: The federal government has no role in the state certification process of election results. Yet just this week, Todd Blanche didn’t rule out the possibility that Trump’s DOJ could try to prevent a state from certifying its election results: https://demdock.com/3W0IHoi

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

Blatantly illegal. Rubio needs to be hauled in front of Congress when we finally get a Congress. www.washingtonsun.com/administrati...

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.

This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...
