USPS plans to crack down on mail voting ahead of the midterms, according to a soon-to-be-published proposed rule. It's an alarming step toward implementing Trump's attack on mail-in voting, which pro-voting groups say is unlawful. Here's what the proposed rule would do: https://bit.ly/434bg4w

"The pick is bad for U.S. intelligence and a threat to civil liberties. But the greatest danger of appointing Pulte as DNI is that it’s a further step in Trump’s plans to subvert free and fair elections in the United States, in 2026 but especially in 2028." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

FOX NEWS: We boast that we're a net exporter of oil, so it's that the case, why are prices going higher? CHRIS WRIGHT: Because it's a global market. But energy prices are much lower in the US than they are in Europe or Asia. That's a result of President Trump's energy dominance agenda.

According to Scott Pelley, Pelley the new leadership at CBS News told him "to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story.” Democracy Docket's only bias is being pro-democracy. Support its work and expand its reach by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I have some questions for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Even if the slush fund dies... the scheme to absolve Trump from the IRS survives Lots of new reporting here JUST FILED to @MeidasTouch ====> www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9W2...

yikes

holy shit -- if I was Scott Bessent and I worked for Trump I would probably not be trying to score political points on Epstein coverups

No public events for Trump today. That makes it a week now since he's been seen in public. Why?

Congratulations to @debhaalandnm.bsky.social for winning last night's primary to be New Mexico's next governor. If elected, she'll continue to make history as the first Native American woman to serve as a governor anywhere in America. Onward!

Q: Tom Kean hasn't been seen in 3 months. How is it acceptable that a member can be missing without explaining to constituents what's going on? MIKE JOHNSON: He's under the care of healthcare providers. It's not a scandalous thing at all. People deal w/health issues. He's working remotely right now

Don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't get 4 cognitive exams in 18 months unless they're monitoring your dementia.

Q: Do you think Bill Pulte is qualified to be the acting DNI? MIKE JOHNSON: The president obviously has the prerogative and the choice on who he appoints to these positions (Not a yes!)

🚨🚨🚨 Bill Pulte was picked to join Blanche, Patel, Hegseth, and Mullin to be ready to help Trump stay in power no matter what. Are congressional Democrats to a degree missing the forest for trees? Do they appreciate that their #1 task is to confront this threat? open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Q: Trump says he doesn't care about the midterms. Do you think he's focused enough on domestic policy? MIKE JOHNSON: What he said was taken out of context and it's so unfair. This president spends more time on domestic issues in one day than Biden did in four. That's an objective fact.

BESSENT: Under the Biden administration-- HASSAN: We're not talking about Biden. We're talking about this administration and its promise to lower costs, and the fact that this president says he doesn't care

BESSENT: I believe the president's remarks were taken out of context HASSAN: No. He said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody.' That's a direct quote BESSENT: Groceries are going down HASSAN: When was the last time you were in a grocery store?

BESSENT: The ballroom is a national security matter HASSAN: That's ridiculous and I think you know it

Scott Pelley looked his new corporate bosses dead in the eye, accused them of murdering "60 Minutes," and was fired. Thanks for standing up for what’s right Scott! Story here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-fold...

This one is a bit more personal. I’m letting you into an internal battle, understanding Jan 6 and the delay of justice. It’s just a delay… open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

BESSENT: I'm unable to discuss this because of ongoing litigation WHITEHOUSE: Was there any consideration to the govt in return for the benefits of no audit and no investigation? BESSENT: Again, I'm unable to comment WHITEHOUSE: 🤷 Mr Chairman, this makes no sense at all

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

CORTEZ MASTO: Do you intend to give the 400,000 taxpayers who also had their information leaked the same immunity as President Trump and his family received? BESSENT: I'm unable to provide any additional information CORTEZ MASTO: It's very clear you're dodging this. It's just outrageous.

I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power THIS is what an insurrection looks like

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

JACOBS: I have one last question for you. Who won the 2020 presidential election? MARCO RUBIO: I'm not here to answer about 2020 JACOBS: It seems like you have an issue admitting facts, just like you couldn't admit the shoes the president bought you were too big RUBIO: The florsheims fit fine

Late Sunday, a male passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight began choking a male flight attendant. He even tried to break into the cockpit and open an exit door, saying he wanted to get off the plane. Josh Longood, a passenger, helped restrain the man. The plane landed in Miami. 👠

Bessent being asked about the prices of goods and he's lying. Why can't our Senators just say "You're LYING!" Instead they want to argue the point. 👠

CNN: "AI drove the number of layoffs to the highest May total since 2020, back when covid had paralyzed the economy"

This is an ENORMOUS win. Spread the word.

President Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. That means it has now been one week since he has appeared publicly for anything besides a pre-taped interview. His last public event was his cabinet meeting last Wednesday, one day after his trip to Walter Reed.

Trump is floating the idea of leaving the UFC cage in front of the White House, comparing it to the Eiffel Tower. 🤦🏽‍♂️ His brain is turning to mush.

Senate majority leader John Thune sounds like he's had it with Trump. In a departure from the past 18 months, Thune has broken with Trump on a string of recent controversies. It's a sign that lame-duck Trump's sway with congressional Republicans is waning.

Sen. Dave McCormick: "The mission of the weaponization fund I concur with. It's not unprecedented there would be an IRS settlement. The fund was not to benefit the president himself."

This is untenable. You can’t have a “ceasefire” where missiles are launched every day and civilians are being killed at airports. Rubio told Congress the war was over *yesterday* The administration needs to be honest with the American people. This is pathetic.

move over, the wheel and printing press -- Sen. Dave McCormick says AI is "the most transformative thing that has happened maybe in human history"

look at how swollen and disfigured Trump's right hand looks during his new podcast appearance with Miranda Devine

Exciting news!! Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic primary for Governor and if elected, she will make history as the nation’s first Native American woman to serve as governor. 

DEVINE: What about people who don't have 401ks and they're worried about gas or groceries? TRUMP: Well, see, I inherited very high prices when I came in

Trump’s pick for acting DNI has zero intelligence experience. What he has: a track record of using government power to target Trump’s enemies. By making him acting, no Senate confirmation required. This one matters. joycevance.substack.com/p/if-you-tho...

DEVINE: Your tactics when you say something, and then change it -- people at home, sometimes I hear they feel anxious and confused TRUMP: That's good. That's good. If they're confused, then the Iranians are confused too.

Ted Lieu will be questioning Marco Rubio in a few minutes about Donald's health. 👠

Bill Pulte was Donald's Housing Director, and the first thing he did was pull Democrats' loan information to manufacture mortgage fraud cases. Which begs the question, what will he do as Director of National Intelligence? 👠

Folks, it's been a week since Donald has been seen in public. Hell, I'd hide too. 👠

NEW: A group of lawmakers demanded answers from the White House this week following a ProPublica investigation revealing that a top aide to the president initiated a $620 million loan from the Pentagon to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

The Democratic establishment swung back in California on Tuesday. L.A. Mayor Karen Bass advanced to a runoff to keep her job after a better-than-expected showing in early returns, and Xavier Becerra was in solid position to make the runoff in the governor’s race.

DEVINE: What do you say to people who claim Netanyahu tricked you into going into Iran? TRUMP: They're the enemy. They're dumocrats. They want transgender mutilization of our children. He tricked me? I'm the one that started it. I'll tell you what- if there wasn't me, there'd be no Israel right now
