BREAKING: Late last night, a federal court overturned a restrictive New Hampshire voter registration law that could have disenfranchised thousands. We challenged this law in court and won, because these unnecessary laws don't safeguard our elections — they just make it harder for people to vote.

The DOJ didn’t delete Jan. 6 records quietly. They bragged about it. “We are proud,” they said. So @lawfaremedia.org recovered 5,769 pages…95% of what was scrubbed and published them all. They can’t erase what happened. #USDemocracy #Pinks www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

MacFarlane: I think the rise of independent journalism is an unparalleled thing. They want—hopefully—what I do: speak directly, one-on-one, point-blank, conversationally, and simply explain the news. There’s no way any vertical integration can stop that.

Thanks to Trump’s war with Iran, U.S. flagged & U.S. crewed commercial vessels are currently trapped in the Persian Gulf. I’ve written to Admiral Cooper, demanding action be taken to protect & support these crews as they sail under sustained operational & psychological stress.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Sadistic and cruel Administration. Not funny, nor “tongue in cheek “. It’s abysmal, and plays to the lowest of the low.

Evening Friends. Say hi to old friends and meet new ones. More people didn’t vote than voted for either Harris or the Orange Buffoon. That is what happens when people are not engaged and involved. #StrongerTogether #BlueCrew #BreakfastCrew #NoKings #QuoteOfTheDay

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

This Christmas the real Scrooges are corporations that raked in record profits this year and paid their CEOs millions of dollars but still deny workers a living wage and benefits.

“It’s a black hole – there’s no staffing, there’s no rhyme or reason to what they’re doing, and there’s not a mission to actually effectuate civil rights laws,” said a longtime lawyer in the office. https://cnn.it/48QucGr

Ok... #1 - He looks like the people he's helping to disappear, and #2 - No law enforcement agency trains people to hold a gun sideways...you can't aim it and the shell casing will eject into your face
