The Constitution gives states, not the federal government, the power to administer elections.

That's for a good reason, but the Trump admin keeps trying and failing to grab power anyway. We're fighting back in court.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol.

Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

Former Pardon Attorney: 2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy Attorney General, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend and it cost me my job. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.

A massive chunk of ice, extending far below the water's surface, detaches from a glacier and is launched 200ft (61m) into the air due to its lower density compared to seawater.

I agree with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie’s post below.

Also, a reminder that trump’s own former Attorney General Bill Barr told trump to his face that the election conspiracy theories were “bullshit.”

Don’t believe in the bullshit from trump.

Ukraine struck 12 russian vessels in the Black Sea.

The targets included 9 cargo ships, a tanker, an LNG tanker, and a tugboat.

From July 6 to 17, Ukraine destroyed or damaged 159 vessels - 117 in the Sea of Azov and 42 in the Black Sea.

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

Thomas Massie just set a trap for the next Attorney General, Todd Blanche, by introducing his new Epstein Files Transparency Act 2.

The bill would require the U.S. Attorney General to cooperate with state Attorneys to help prosecute Jeffrey Epstein's top clients under state law.

The bill aims to provide maximum disclosure of all the crimes against children that took place at Epstein's Zorro Ranch property.

"Crimes were committed there."

"The Attorney General of New Mexico would like to prosecute those crimes, so we're making it easier with this bill."

“A couple of polls that appeared earlier this week are a useful reminder of why Donald Trump is making such frantic efforts to lay the groundwork for his election interference. The reason’s simple: If he doesn’t cheat, he’s going to lose.”

"The intelligence community has ZERO evidence that a foreign power flipped a vote in 2020, 2022, and 2024."

John Solomon, hired by trump to probe the 2020 election. So far, the only person busted ON TAPE trying to commit election fraud was trump

Oops.

Undermining trust in the justice and electoral systems, denigrating the media, targeting rivals. I’ve seen this playbook before in Putin’s Russia in the early 2000s.

America’s democratic institutions may be stronger, but we should never take them—or our rights—for granted.

Norway is building the Rogfast Tunnel, a 27 km undersea highway linking Stavanger and Bergen, cutting E39 travel from 11 hrs to just 35 min.

Set to become the world’s longest and deepest subsea road tunnel, it will change trade and tourism in the region.

​World-famous US actor Morgan Freeman:

​"Someone is sitting in the White House leading us to disaster. I personally cannot understand how someone convicted of 34 felonies like Donald Trump can be president. This makes no sense to me."

This is massive from Italy under Meloni 🔥

🇮🇹Italy: "Under the leadership of Meloni Europe needs a new security bloc. Türkiye, UK, Ukraine, Norway, Switzerland should all be in🇹🇷🇬🇧🇺🇦🇳🇴🇨🇭."

We Can’t trust NATO when it all depends on Trump's mood swings and what he tweets today" 🔥

Italy is indirectly saying to DITCH Trump 👏

Trump single handedly nuked the relationship between EU and US.

Another American community turned into a combat zone. ICE agents shot and killed a person in the streets of Biddeford, Maine. They are acting like Trump's racist secret police force because they know they have zero accountability.

It is long past time to abolish ICE, strip them of this unchecked power, and prosecute every single agent involved to the fullest extent of the law. Biddeford deserves answers, and the American people demand justice.

He was burning alive, yet he kept re-entering the burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle until all six soldiers and the Iraqi interpreter were safe. Burns covered 72% of his body. His first words were, ‘How are my boys?’ He died three weeks later. It took 16 years for him to receive the Medal of Honor. HIS NAME IS SERGEANT FIRST CLASS ALWYN C. CASHE, NEVER FORGET!!!

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

I’m announcing today that Liz Oyer and Dani Bensky will be the Democratic witnesses in opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination.

Liz Oyer served as the Justice Department’s nonpolitical pardon attorney. She was fired by Blanche for refusing to rubberstamp gun ownership rights to Mel Gibson, a convicted domestic violence abuser and friend of Donald Trump.

Dani Bensky is a brave survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific crimes. Her name has been included in multiple batches of released Epstein Files, due to Todd Blanche’s failures. She’s attempted multiple times to redact her information without success.

They will offer compelling testimony about the dangers of Todd Blanche weaponizing the Justice Department in service of Donald Trump, rather than the American people.
