Pushing for removal of trump and republicans who enable him. Or should that be the other way around? #TeamJustice

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Department of Justice lawsuit to obtain an unredacted copy of New York's statewide voter registration list. A big victory for Elias Law Group and our Client the NAACP.

DOJ is now 0-12 in these cases. ELG is undefeated. https://t.co/35wTb8gBDB

.@Lawrence eviscerates Trump’s claims of “having settled 8 wars” by showing how MOMENTS LATER he confesses to NOT KNOWING what to do in his ongoing war with Iran; as well as his admission in front of Zelensky that HE HAS NEVER ASKED PUTIN WHEN HE WILL END THE WAR IN UKRAINE 🤯

Naming an airport after a conman who used it for decades to sex-traffic teenage girls with his fellow Palm Beach resident, Jeffrey Epstein, and who is actively interfering in the next democratic election so he can continue to grift USA with his fam is the most Florida sh*t ever.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

Do you not despise Trump enough? Then read this:
Today, the Trump Interior Department and Commerce Department announced a rule that says that destroying an endangered species’ nest or habitat would NO LONGER be considered illegal. (MAN this pisses me off!)
Why would the scumbag f*ckfaces do this, you ask?
So that fossil fuel companies, agricultural interests, land developers, and others can disturb and destroy the habitats of vulnerable species, of course.
Environmental law firms plan to challenge the final rule in court, charging that it violates the Endangered Species Act as well as a 1995 SCOTUS decision.

Since Trump is unable to bring a receipt of Democrats rigging elections, here's one of Arizona Republicans caught in the act of trying to rig the 2020 election, by signing fake elector forms for Trump.

It would be a shame to keep sharing this and other receipts...

“For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media, and voters at large who are going to have to explain and justify how they fell into the trap of supporting Donald Trump.” — Marco Rubio, 2016

NEW: A judge reluctantly erased the Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy case against the Proud Boys tonight, concluding he had no power to get in DOJ's way.

But Judge Kelly, a Trump appointee, made clear he disagreed — and underscored the gravity of the attack.

Elect a traitor and all the traitors get pardons, even the ones convicted of seditious conspiracy.

[Mindy Fischer Writer @mindys4biden]

Meanwhile, Trump is still doing shady shit to try to steal the midterms for Republicans. Here's what he just did yesterday...

[kenny jacobs🌻 @kennyjacobs]

Eight years ago today, President Donald Trump pardoned two convicted arsonists. The Hammond's set fires that put federal employees and first responders in danger.

Amid all the corruption, this is especially gross: the billions Congress/Biden approved to build fiber internet in places left behind has been redirected to Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos for doing nothing. Musk has pocketed $738 million so far. Places like rural Louisiana were screwed.

[Jordan Heinz @JordanHeinz]

@MikeNellis there should be an amendment for this

that any linked donation of nominal value resulting in a pardon is both null & void, & puts the potus up for immediate impeachment

the founding fathers didn't account for this level of corruption, but republicans have taken advantage of it

The Big Bend construction plan is genuinely insane. DHS will spend $4.3 billion tax dollars to build NEW access roads into inaccessible canyons that currently see almost no border crossings. Politically connected contractors will get rich while making smuggling easier.

[James Bikales @jamepdx]

NEW: Trump promoted a brand-new gas station network offering discounts of up to 50¢ a gallon as a patriotic gift to Americans.

There's just one problem:

Almost nobody in the fuel industry seems to know who is behind it.

@POLITICO tried to find out. 🧵

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Once again, it is time for @GovAndyBeshear to call the special election.

McConnell’s team ignored the request for a health update.

It is not illegal to call a special an election on a presumed vacancy.

If Republicans have proof of life to halt it, then they can show the court.

2019: Trump admin ends pandemic early-warning program
2020: COVID-19 hits; kills more than 1.25 million Americans, 7 million globally

2025: Trump admin fires all of the CDC'S Vessel Sanitation Program employees
2026: Major noravirus outbreaks on cruise ships

2025: Trump admin makes cyclospora monitoring optional (was mandatory)
2026: Cyclospora outbreaks

These systems are developed because we need them, because an outbreak revealed gaps in our ability to monitor, report, and respond to public health threats.

Other major changes/cuts to public health that should concern you:

Making vibrio monitoring optional. That's the "flesh eating" bacteria that sickens 80,000 Americans a year - with a hospitalization rate of 83% and fatality rate of 23% in V. vulnificus cases.

Major cuts to laboratories that track antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur in the US each year, causing more than 35,000 deaths. Cutting labs makes it harder to detect resistant organisms early, contain outbreaks, guide treatment decisions, and monitor how resistance is evolving, increasing the risk that dangerous strains spread before public health officials realize there's a problem.

Layoffs of 20,000 HHS staff, including one-fifth of the CDC. Withdrawal from WHO, cutting of USAID, and losing all of the local disease surveillance both agencies do.

You would have thought the abject failure of the US' handling of COVID-19 would have led to greater investment in public health.

Yet, because of the unqualified people in charge, we are in an even worse place now than we were before.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

This is what leaders do when they don’t want free and fair elections. I’ve studied these activities in other countries moving towards autocracy.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump has now paid four different energy companies more than $2.5 BILLION dollars of your tax money to STOP building wind farms that would have brought your electricity bills DOWN.  

What the American people need is immediate relief from high energy costs, and nothing that this Administration is doing will deliver that.

[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.
