It's tempting to see Trump's Alaskan adventure as more electoral skullduggery. But it's a dangerous escalation of his attacks on democracy. He's not trying to suppress votes, he's trying to steal votes that have already been cast. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

And we know Trump is a stickler about proper handling of national security information…
Federal prosecutors have brought new charges against former FBI Director James B. Comey, accusing him of mishandling national security information in October 2016, according to court papers unsealed on Monday. More: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Check out how easy this is.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

While you pay more for gas at the pump, Donald Trump and the oil and gas industry are profiting “hundreds of billions, trillions.”

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.
😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.
Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

Kudos to the reporter here, who does something we almost never see: she interrupts Trump to try to make him and answer the question she asked, not allowing him to bloviate.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Last summer, Scientific American's owners were stalking the site, making sure it wasn't being too critical of Trump. This summer, the magazine was sold and gutted. I wrote about it for The Nation www.thenation.com/article/soci...

An excellent summation of Trump's willful destruction of the United States of America. Please share with your friends and family.

The nice thing about having a newsletter is that when I say to editors "How about I write 1,600 words on how Trump's obsession with Jon Husted's ass is rooted in the fascist worship of the desexualized male body?" and they say no, I still get to write it. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/trumps-lus...

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.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

The Russian connection to Elon Musk, is proven. This may be news to some, but we'we known this for some time, and worth repeating👇 Musk used multiple investors to buy Twitter, now X. One of the investors was 8VC. 8VC employs the sons of sanctioned Russian oligarchs Radim Moshkovich and Petr Aven.
The platform X, owned by Elon Musk, is a propaganda tool for the #MAGA movement and Russian intelligence. X actively engages in censorship, undermines free speech and democracy. I urge all individuals and businesses to log off and delete their accounts, because using X supports fascism. ⤵️
