So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by:
1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements
2. Mid-decade gerrymanders
3. Use USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting
4. Used taxpayer money for ads
5. Intimidation of election officials
6. 5K bribe checks
On this day in 1975, Jefferson Starship and “Jerry Garcia and Friends” took over Golden Gate Park for a free concert which drew in around 50,000 attendees. This would turn out to be the Grateful Dead’s last of only four performances in 1975. During their set they made sure to include some new tracks from their latest release ‘Blues For Allah,’ and some old favorites, leaving the crowd ready for more, that unfortunately wouldn’t come until June the following year.

William Leonard Pickard is the Walter White of LSD.
In the 1990s he operated a mobile lab responsible for manufacturing 90% of LSD consumed around the world- producing 10 million LSD doses every week in different cities around the US.
Did you know Paulie was a real-life mobster?
Before he ever stepped in front of an HBO camera, Tony Sirico didn't need a mob consultant to learn the ropes, he was a legitimate, tough as nails associate for the Colombo crime family in Brooklyn during the 1960s and 70s. He was deeply entrenched in the New York underworld, amassing a wild rap sheet of 28 arrests for everything from extortion and armed robbery to felony weapons possession.
He survived being shot twice, once on the steps of a church and served two separate stints in maximum security prisons, including New York's infamous Sing Sing.
In a crazy full-circle twist, Sirico actually discovered his love for acting while behind bars after watching a theater group of ex-convicts perform for the inmates.
When he finally landed the role of Paulie Gualtieri, he didn't just read a script; he brought his real-life wardrobe, his actual tracksuits, his signature silver winged hair, and those famous wing tipped hand gestures straight from his days on the block.
Because of his real-world history, Sirico had one strict, absolute, non-negotiable rule for the series writers: Paulie Walnuts could never, under any circumstances, become a rat.
To Sirico, breaking the code of silence on tv was a line he simply wouldn't cross. Knowing that his on-screen paranoia and old-school street logic came from a man who actually survived the mid-century mob wars makes every single scene elite.🥶

Some people won’t like hearing this, but history shouldn’t be rewritten to make anyone more comfortable.
Fauci didn’t repeatedly downplay COVID.
Fauci didn’t tell Americans it would simply disappear.
Fauci didn’t stand before the country and contradict his own public-health officials while the virus spread.
If we’re going to assign blame for America’s pandemic response, then hold the people who actually had the power to make national policy accountable.
Anthony Fauci wasn’t President. Donald Trump was.
Trump said Nevada has 250,000 noncitizens voting. So DHS went through the list of voters.
Guess how many they found. 250,000? No. 2000? Nope. 200? Wrong. They found ZERO noncitizens.
Epstein is not a hoax. Affordability is not a hoax.
Illegals voting is a big fat orange hoax.
A message for the right from the left.

This entire three minutes is like a therapy session. I highly recommend watching. It’s also frickin’ hilarious.💥
Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane was invited to the White House for a tea party in 1969 and planned to spike President Nixon's tea with 600 micrograms of LSD. The plan was thwarted by the Secret Service.
Congressional Democrats. When we give you back the House and the Senate in November. We’re not approving your job performance. We’re giving you one last chance to put Trump in check. So please, fucking DO something. Or we’ll be getting rid of you next. The people have spoken.
🔥 🇺🇸 Tammy Duckworth just became our pick for president. And I’m not moving off of that until somebody one-ups her and that’s not gonna be easy because she’s the first. Mark this moment down. That was a very important sentence. 🤯
