Trump is trying to block certification of Alaska's Senate election if the Republican loses.
This is his authoritarianism in real time.
This is why we must do everything we can to win this election, defend democracy and create a government that works for all, not just the 1%.
BREAKING: Trump’s Justice Department is getting EXPOSED, and what election officials in California are revealing is absolutely outrageous.
The DOJ is demanding that counties identify and potentially set aside ballots from supposed noncitizen voters.
There’s just one HUGE problem: Their own lists are falling apart under scrutiny.
In Inyo County, BOTH people flagged had never voted in California or even been issued ballots.
In Mendocino County, officials say the DOJ sent them a list of voters FROM AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT COUNTY.
And in Los Angeles County, a preliminary review found that many flagged individuals were born in the United States, weren’t active voters, or had never voted.
Yet Trump’s DOJ is threatening election officials and giving counties just 48 HOURS to comply, DAYS before the midterms.
The federal government is using demonstrably unreliable data to pressure local officials into setting aside Americans’ ballots.
This isn’t how you protect election integrity. It’s how you put legitimate votes at risk.
Every American, Republican or Democrat, should be outraged by this.
Earlier today, russians struck DniproHPP in Zaporizhzhia.
The threat of an environmental disaster puts millions of people at risk.
And Trump is desperately trying to save russia.
The world must wake up.
This number right here is a treasonous fuck. The hacked information from his cellphone not only show money laundering of hundreds of millions, but also shows he is in the pocket of Israel, Saudis and Russian. He should be arrested for treason and dealt with accordingly.
A chemical plant is on fire in Omsk, Russia, about 2,500 km from Ukraine.
The plant produces synthetic rubber and other petrochemical products. They are used in the Russian defense industry to make tires and other components for military equipment.
He swam across an icy river with a concussion to reach Azovstal. Then he endured 10 months of torture with electric shocks in russian captivity.
But one of the most painful memories of his captivity had nothing to do with what his captors did to him.
Imagine it: April, 3 a.m. The water is just a few degrees above freezing. You have no wetsuit, a concussion, and you’re vomiting blood. Your only mission is to swim across the river to reach Azovstal.
This is how the story of Ukrainian border guard Illia Illiashenko, call sign Smurf, began.
A missile struck beneath the wheel of his vehicle. He lost consciousness. When he came to, blood was running from his ears. His helmet had been split in half.
Then came mortar fire, shrapnel, isolation, and an encounter with fighters from the Right Sector under fire.
And then, the river.
The moment he entered the water, his legs cramped. He began to drown. He struggled through the water, swallowed mouthfuls of it, but somehow made it across.
He reached the shore and collapsed, unable to feel his own body. Beside him lay a fallen comrade, wounded in the back.
Then came captivity. Ten months in Taganrog.
His captors burned his arm over a tattoo. They tortured him with electric shocks. Special forces came just to inspect his tattoos.
They beat his leg with a stick because of the swallows tattooed on it and asked, “Maybe you’re a pilot?”
But what he remembers most vividly is something else.
His mother had seen his name on a list of the dead. Desperate to find out whether he was alive, she travelled to the penal colony in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.
She stood outside the gates for three days.
December. Freezing temperatures. Out in the open.
Nobody came out. Nobody called her.
Eventually, she went home.
He remembers another detail, too: a pair of shoes.
When prisoners were transferred from Taganrog, he was given black, pointed shoes in size 47. His actual size was 40.
Months later, as preparations began for a prisoner exchange, he was handed the same bag with the same shoes.
He gathered the courage to ask permission to exchange them with another prisoner.
They allowed it.
Smurf returned from captivity weighing just 43 kilograms. Before his capture, he had weighed 60.
He still doesn’t know why he was exchanged while thousands of other Ukrainian defenders remain in russian captivity.
His call sign honours his friend Kolia Volkov, who was killed by a sniper in 2019.
Smurf made it his mission to see the war through to the end — the goal his fallen friend would never get to fulfil.
Because someone has to.
Lawrence O’Donnell: “Elon Musk will have to testify under oath in televised hearings where he will be presented with evidence that his destruction of USAID led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people through malnutrition, starvation, and disease because they were denied lifesaving medicines by Elon Musk and literally denied food in the middle of a famine by Elon Musk personally. Democrats do not fear the empty lying threats of Elon Musk who has no sword that he can threaten them with”
This woman in Florida and her family went to vote and the voting machine did the same thing that they’re doing in other states which is trying to pick a Republican when she picked the Democrat and it took her four tries to fix it. She reported the issue to the poll worker.
