🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court rejected DOJ's extraordinary request to bypass the district court in its effort to bar California from counting the ballots of around 20,000 people the Trump administration alleges are “likely” noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Well. Sheeet

Raskin: “Donald Trump, he's now out of the closet. I mean, he's absolutely a collaborator with Vladimir Putin and Erdogan and, you know, the other despots of the world against democracy and human rights.”

The Anchorman reboot does not look promising.

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Epstein, Trump, Max Miller, and now Amy Acton's mom...the Republican Party protects the pedophiles and the abusers, not you.

Witkoff called Putin a “humanitarian.” Vance says nobody hates corruption more than Trump, the same week the NYT exposed a $50M Habba deal before a billionaire’s pardon. And Republicans are collapsing in the polls. Your midday update:

How about Trump media, that so proudly uses the symbol DJT. It’ value is down over 93% over the last five years. Trump screwed some of his biggest supporters who invested in a stock that was once valued as high as $97.54 and is now worth just $6.43. How long before bankruptcy?

wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

We're tracking every prominent Republican credibly accused of a sex crime since 2000 with almost 350 added so far.

The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.

🚨Holy crap! Ken Paxton partied on New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two U.S. fugitives (Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail) charged in healthcare fraud/embezzlement schemes. Ahmed, a major donor, gave about $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign — including after his indictment.

And dumbass Texans keep electing this thug.

Ben Meiselas: And here's a compilation of Trump saying many times that if any country bought oil from Russia, he would go after them...

President Donald Trump took a break this weekend from his nonstop, baseless accusations about mail voting fraud to remind his own supporters to cast their mail ballots in this year’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

IMPORTANT: There are 15 states that require in-person registration 28–30 days before an election, meaning this maybe your last week to register. Check your registration at Vote.gov.

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴

texans, you are going to see this clip once a week and twice on sundays until the election

Experienced FBI counterterrorism experts were punished for refusing to investigate something that, at most, warranted the attention of the DC Metro police.

Xi Jinping: "I moved on Trump like a bitch. When you're a tyrannical dictator, he'll let you do it. He'll let you do anything."

Marco Rubio: “Iranians are radical religious lunatics.” Also: Have you met Paula White, the White House faith advisor?

MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed unloaded on Trump over soaring gas prices and the war: “When you’re the president of the United States and people are struggling with gas, you don’t sit there and talk about your new helipad or your drapes in a ballroom.” “You actually go and do your damn job.”

Fun fact: the U.S. House can sue a sitting president with a simple majority vote. If the Democrats retake the chamber, they should do more than just "investigate" Trump's corruption. They should sue him in federal court for the illegal ballroom, Qatari jet, and more.

Max Miller tried to use his lawyers to shut down this ad. He failed. It's now airing. People deserve the facts about Max Miller, and we won't let him silence this 35-year veteran of Ohio law enforcement.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

And Donald is wearing lifts. Everything about him is a fraud.

They all knew ahead of time who he is...

A hilarious summary

Even more relevant now.

Choose wisely.

I fear that people might be getting sick of hearing my views on the world. So this time, an open thread for econ faculty to grade this submission on the meaning of a trade deficit.

Here is AOC and Mamdani laughing at the solemn 9/11 commemoration. Oh wait…

This is such disrespect. He can't even be bothered with getting a solid night's sleep or at least taking a stimulant to stay awake. This is the 25th anniversary of 9-11. #TrumpIsAFailure #TrumpIsUnfit
