The FBI didn't raid a polling place. They raided the office of a group that registers voters. Then they sent special agents to the homes of people affiliated with the organization.
This is the same administration that raided a Georgia elections hub in February. The same one that launched voting fraud investigations in California after Trump made unfounded public suggestions of fraud. The same president who has repeated false claims about 2020 for five years and counting.
The DOJ's own response to NBC News: anything the target says is "unfounded speculation" because they haven't been shown the warrant affidavit. That's the government telling a civic organization - we searched your office, we showed up at your employees' homes, and you don't get to know why yet.
Voter fraud in the United States is rare. That's not a progressive talking point. That's the documented position of government officials and election experts across administrations.
What isn't rare is this administration opening federal investigations into voter registration groups, election infrastructure, and community organizers in the months before a midterm election where Republicans are already staring at a difficult map.
The Ohio Organizing Collaborative has been doing this work since 2007. One canvasser pleaded guilty to a fraud scheme in 2017. That's the predicate for FBI agents showing up at people's homes in 2026.
Call it what the board member called it. Mob boss energy.
After hearing what was said about Michelle Obama at the White House last night, I can’t stay silent.
She’s a Princeton- and Harvard-educated attorney, a former First Lady, and a global example of intelligence, grace, and elegance.
I’m speaking up because she taught us: *“When they go low, we go high.”* That means calling out disrespect while still choosing dignity.
I stand with Michelle Obama. And she represents the best of American values.
When Donald Trump launched his war against Iran, he had no plan for the cataclysmic financial consequences we'd all have to bear.
107 days later, he still has no idea what he's doing — and American families are footing the bill.
The Trump administration abandoned its appeal of our victory stopping them from blocking an array of new wind energy projects.
New York’s wind projects will create jobs and bring down New Yorkers’ electric bills. We will keep fighting attempts to undermine that progress.
18 months after the LA fires, Congress has yet to pass a single dollar of relief for the families who lost everything.
Hundreds of people were killed, tens of thousands of homes were burned, and 20,000 people were forced to evacuate. It was the worst disaster on American soil that I have ever seen.
18 months and not a dime of relief. It’s disgraceful.
Mitchell Robinson on Instagram:
"I don’t even know where to begin the battles, the sacrifices, the mental breakdown, the disbelief in myself, the injuries, the surgeries, the mistakes and to be able to stay strong and bounce back from being in hell was all worth the ride I appreciate the fans and my friends and family for helping me get through all of that while fighting to get it done the sacrifices yall made for me throughout the years will never go unnoticed and unappreciated I can’t thank you all enough for everything y’ll got me through.
Thank You🤘🏾🤟🏾🤍."

LET'S PUT THIS ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE

That whole "America first" mantra is just a pipe dream.
It was just a political catchphrase to get MAGA to think @realDonaldTrump cared about this country, when in reality, he's running a plutocracy — American citizens be damned.
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
When the crimes of this administration come out, and they will come out, the amount and scope will be as staggering. Even as openly corrupt and contemptuous of the law as this administration is, what remains hidden is an iceberg of crime.
The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.
The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.
FBI at the office. FBI at employees' homes. No explanation yet.
This is the third voting-related federal action since February. Ohio. Georgia. California. Seven months before a midterm Republicans are already losing.
Voter fraud is rare. Voter intimidation is happening right now.
If you get a serious diagnosis, you shouldn’t wonder whether your insurance company will cover the care your doctor says you need.
It’s time to make it illegal for insurance companies to wrongfully deny coverage.
.@SarahAMatthews1: "Expecting Trump to say or do the right thing is useless and disappointing. This is the guy who posted a racist meme of the Obamas depicted as monkeys…who posted memes depicting himself as Jesus Christ. There is no decency or decorum in this White House."
I am not a New York Knicks fan, but I have become a huge admirer of Jalen Brunson.
In a sports world that often celebrates size, athleticism, and hype, Brunson has built his career on something different: character, consistency, and relentless determination.
The more I watch him play, the more I realize he embodies many of the values we talk about every day at Medix™.
The willingness to do what others won't.
Brunson was never viewed as the future superstar. While others relied on talent, he relied on preparation. He studied, worked, and improved when nobody was watching.
Success often belongs to those willing to do the hard, unglamorous work others avoid.
Never. Never. Never. Give up.
Throughout his career, Brunson has been underestimated. Too small. Not athletic enough. Not a franchise player.
Every time someone placed a ceiling on him, he found a way to break through it.
The people who win are often the people who simply refuse to stop.
Lock arms and help each other achieve goals.
What impresses me most is that Brunson's leadership is never about himself.
His teammates play better around him. He shares credit. He creates opportunities for others. He leads through action.
The best leaders understand that success is a team sport. No championship is won alone. No great company is built alone.
The desire to serve others.
The truly special leaders understand that leadership is service.
Brunson's teammates trust him because he consistently puts the team first. He takes responsibility, embraces pressure, and does whatever is needed to help the group succeed.
Whether you're building a basketball team or building a company, the principles remain the same:
• Do what others won't.
• Never give up.
• Lock arms with those around you.
• Serve others before yourself.
Jalen Brunson may wear a Knicks uniform, but the values he represents are universal.
Those values win games. More importantly, they win in life.

A 250-foot arch at Arlington. No cost estimate. No congressional approval. Memorializes nothing and no one.
Trump: "We don't need anything from Congress."
There's a 34-year-old law that says otherwise. The graves there disagree too.
