Here’s the connection to be made: The administration bit off more than it could chew when it indicted SPLC, a group with national support. So now it will try to intimidate folks on the ground, small local groups who are supporting our right to vote. We must not let that happen.
The United States has the safest elections in the world, so much so that voter 'fraud' is virtually nonexistent. Even the Heritage Foundation admitted that there have been JUST 99 cases of noncitizen voting in every election combined since 2000.
Forcing states to hand over their lists of voters in exchange for mail ballots is voter suppression. Trump is trying to steal the midterm election in plain sight.
Coons’ answer perfectly captures the absurdity of the situation. There is broad support for Ukraine, yet the entire process is blocked by one man's apparent desire to appease his ally in the Kremlin.
Senator Chris Coons: “It has broad support among Democrats and Republicans on the defense of Ukraine.
Reporter: “Why is it taking such a long time in that? Why is it taking such a long time in that case?"
Senator Chris Coons: “Because President Trump refuses to recognize that defending Ukraine is defending America."
Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress.
It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress. The House of Representatives is not representative. One of the most important organs of our democracy is not democratic.
They say, "Oh, no. We're not manipulating the map to disempower black people. We're manipulating the map to disempower Democrats who happen to be black people.”
So, the time has come to make it impossible to manipulate the map for any reason and just have fair maps.
Idaho adopted no-excuse mail-in voting in 1972. Washington did it in 1974. California in 1978. Iowa in 1990. Arizona, Wyoming and Vermont in 1991. Nebraska in 1997. Oregon in 1998. Wisconsin and Florida did it in 2001. NC in 2002. Ohio in 2005. Georgia, Illinois, and NJ in 2006.
It dropped so quickly from the news but we shouldn't forget that Trump outright pardoned a murderous narcotrafficker who used the resources of a foreign government he controlled to smuggle cocaine and other drugs into the United States for years.
SCOOP: Despite insisting that a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been scrapped, the administration is quietly assuring allies that payout plans remain on track, @S_Fitzpatrick reports.

Unsurprising, but still absolutely demonic, that this administration’s only reason for not pardoning convicted underage sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is that it would create a huge PR problem.
Buyer learned about the Sprint merger at a golf outing. Bought stock the next day. Did it again with a second deal. Convicted on four counts. Sentenced to 22 months. Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal.
Trump pardoned him Friday.
The pardon doesn't erase the conviction. It just tells every lobbyist in Washington exactly how much a verdict costs.
I remember during Biden, the press combed through hundreds of pages of White House visitor logs, found a guy that was a Parkinson’s specialist, then accused Biden of having Parkinson’s disease and hung it from the country.
Are they going to apply that same energy with these 22 mystery specialists??
15 years old. Forced into sexual acts with Epstein on his private island.
When she tried to escape by swimming, Epstein organized a search party. They took her passport and threatened harm if she didn't comply.
US Virgin Islands lawsuit against Epstein's estate.
Trump is so angry that Iran will not give him a deal that he is telling the US military to commit war crimes. Destroying a drinking water facility is not an attack on a target of war, but a mafia-style operation designed to harm the Iranian people.

Some very unusual stuff happened in the White House Situation Room last summer. Adapted from @maggieNYT and my forthcoming book, "Regime Change" - gift link: https://t.co/mxkrYAwqFV
Nem uma única bola rolou no gramado até agora e este é o quadro da COPA 2026:
• As equipes do Senegal e do Uzbequistão foram tratadas na chegada como criminosos, com buscas completas em seus orifícios.
• O melhor árbitro da África foi enviado de volta à Somália, apesar de seu passaporte diplomático.
• O Fotógrafo da equipe do Iraque foi impedido de entrar mesmo com visto válido.
• Foi negada a entrada nos EUA de 90% dos fãs marroquinos com ingressos já adquiridos.
• Foram recusados vistos a 14 membros da equipe de apoio do Irã.
• Foi negada a entrada no país do principal atacante da Suíça, o camaronês Breel Embolo. A equipe viajou sem ele. Após a forte repercussão, o visto foi enfim concedido.
• A equipe iraniana, cujos jogos serão todos nos EUA, foi proibida de pernoitar no país. Imediatamente a após cada partida, os atletas voarão de volta ao México, onde se hospedam.
- Qual é o sentido de sediar a Copa do Mundo se não pretendem que o MUNDO faça parte dela???
Putin refuses a ceasefire. Zelenskyy agrees to it.
Putin refuses a direct meeting. Zelenskyy agrees to it.
Putin continues to attack Ukrainian civilians. Zelenskyy retaliates on strategic and military targets.
Politicians calling for "both sides" to "negotiate" serve russia.
