The federal judge in Alaska presiding over Trump’s lawsuit challenging the state’s senate race election results has officially fast-tracked it for DISMISSAL. The ruling opens the door for democrat Mary Peltola (Yupik) to become the first female Indigenous Senator in U.S. history.

Bolsonaro ignored a court order to relinquish his passport and is under criminal investigation for money laundering. I thought this administration was *against* letting criminals into the country. Oh, wait . . . not if they are corrupt, election-denying fascists like the man in the Oval Office.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

If you believe Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, you're the reason "DO NOT EAT" labels are put on soap. If you believe Donald Trump is going to give you a check for $5,000 if Republicans win, you're the reason irons have "NEVER IRON CLOTHES WHILE BEING WORN" warnings.

‘We, the people’—not we, the white people—not we, the citizens or the legal voters—not we, the privileged class, and excluding all other classes but we, the people; not we, the horses and cattle, but we the people.” —Frederick Douglass, 1857 www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

Tarrant County, Texas just closed 92 Election Day polling places. Before 2013, Texas needed federal sign-off to change how its people vote. John Roberts wrote the ruling that ended that. That’s his fingerprint on every closed door.
