We are heartsick to report the death of our co-founder Robin Morgan, who has died at 85, just 2 days after her good friend, feminist partner, and WMC co-founder Gloria Steinem. Please find our tribute here: https://t.co/wIVldaddcC

Jane Fonda calls out the global elites for wanting to “turn the rest of us into tradwives” while building robots because “they can’t have babies”:

“They want to live forever, while they’re killing the rest of us. There’s two things: most of these guys, these tech bros and these oligarchs and billionaires, they feel that the laws that the rest of us live by don’t matter to them, including the laws of physics. Natural laws. They’re going to live forever. That’s one [thing]. The other is that because these [ageless] guys can’t have babies, they’ll create robots. That’ll be their babies. And they’ll just turn the rest of us into tradwives, who have a lot of babies too. Then they’ll take away the vote. Can you believe it? And we’re not going to stand for it. They’re not going to win, because we’re not going to stand for it. The big problem is – and this has never happened in the history of humankind – if this was happening at any other time, you could say: 'we’re going to win, in the end.' But because of the climate crisis, we don’t have that much time. You know, there’s a point where if it gets too hot. Then there’s no going back.”

Data centers are more than just a hazard to residents. They’re a symbol for the power the elites have over the American people under this administration. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW:

Byron Donalds just blamed Democrats for the high cost of living in Florida.

Republicans have controlled the state for over 30 years.

Vote for @davidjollyfl and together, let’s restore the American Dream and bring opportunity back to the Sunshine State!

From inside Kabul, Afghan women's rights activist Mahbouba Seraj tells me there's no difference between the first time the Taliban took over in the 1990s and now. Today, she feels like the world doesn't care about the women of Afghanistan.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of @SenThomTillis and @JohnCornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country.

@DAGToddBlanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

Almost everyone is a content creator these days. A cocktail party has become a feral place with Influencers hunting prey for video chats and Instagram reels.

There is a new loser mood swirling around Trump, a boredom with his bloated act. Get the full take in my new Fresh Hell post.

The photo of the sweet-faced, 19-year-old Private Isabella Gonzales, just a year out of high school, hurt my heart. She died for incompetence & was sacrificed for Trump’s hubris. The mere presence of Trump at her dignified transfer, alas, deprives any sacred occasion of dignity.

Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis.

The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

This dandy from the WSJ Editorial Board:

"Since Mr. Trump declassified the memo, we can quote the part he didn’t. “Vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results,” it says. “The systems in each voting location are not connected to the Internet or to each other, and many methods for exploiting them rely on physical proximity.” Achieving it across many jurisdictions “would be difficult” and “audits and paper trails very likely would uncover such an effort."

...
"Unfortunately, the message from Mr. Trump and others has been that America’s elections can’t be trusted, and the only hope is the SAVE America Act. Aside from being untrue, this is a political backfire for the GOP. If Republican voters believe it, and the bill falls short, then why waste time going to the polls in November? Has the GOP already forgotten how Mr. Trump’s fraud outbursts cost them two Senate seats in the 2021 Georgia runoffs?"

It’s very craży that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline BUT we're allowing them to run our ENTIRE country.

Hans and Margret Rey, Jewish authors-illustrators from Hamburg, fled Nazi occupied Europe in 1940. Escaping Paris by bicycle, they took a children’s manuscript about a monkey named Fifi with them. It was published in America in 1941 as Curious George.

Hey @grahamformaine, shut up about yourself.

You have one shot at not being hated the rest of your life. Do everything you can to elect a Dem to Senate from Maine.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

All the signals are flashing red, the latest being @POTUS's summary dismissal of the remaining Federal Election Assistance Commission members.
Put that together with political hack Pulte's odious appt as DNI; election deniers in the most sensitive oversight positions; Trump's exec order on mail-in voting, and potential use of the Postal Service as a weapon of subversion; his pathological prioritization of the SAVE act, which would be the most powerful voter suppression tool in generations; and his persistent, unfounded claims of election fraud, which he uses to justify extraordinary federal interventions.
On the square, the @GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump's unpopularity.
So he's setting up Plan B--do whatever you need to do to win. Anything.
Anyone who says "Well, he wouldn't do THAT" hasn't paid attention. He's already proven he will!
So the period AFTER the Midterms may be even more turbulent than the run up to them.
The courts are going to be very busy this fall.
