Trump’s election interference and calls to nationalize voting have Jon concerned. All-new episode out tomorrow!

Mainstream media needs to take Donald Trump’s threats to nationalize the midterm elections very seriously. He knows how unpopular he is right now — and if he thinks for a second he can pull it off, he’ll try.

Not one more penny for this brutality. Congress needs to grow a spine and stand up to this regime. If you are represented by Democrats — call them. If you are represented by Republicans — call them. They need to hear from you too. (202) 224-3121

Bash: Was it about trying to make a an example out of somebody who the president has sparred with? Blanche: I don't even know that the president's even ever thought of Don Lemon. Bash: He called him a sleazebag yesterday.

Trump doesn’t care about the Epstein files and it’s all a Democratic hoax but he and his allied PACs are about to spend more money to try and defeat Thomas Massie than has ever been spent in any congressional GOP primary in the history of Kentucky.

The President rolled out the red carpet for Putin and still walked away with no deal to end their invasion of Ukraine. Now he remembers that failure fondly enough to hang it on the White House walls. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

A Donald Trump snub suggests Kristi Noem might have finally pushed him too far.

Very cool the Supreme Court, at Trump’s demand, imagined up a version of the constitution that makes Trump immune from claims that he abused his power.

At the very least, Senate Democrats must use their leverage to disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, and remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits. Please call your senators now at 202-224-3121 and say NO more funding for ICE.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

“To you this is murder?” “Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.” She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward. Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people.

Eric Garcia: Should Kristi Noem resign? Murkowski: I voted for her. I would not support her again, and I think it’s probably time for her to step down.

Chief Justice John Roberts turns 71 today. Two decades ago, I warned the Senate that confirming Roberts to the Supreme Court would be a disaster for working people. I'm sad to say I was proven right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir5kmPdRJLw
