If Trump is worried about cheating during elections, why is he firing the entire elections commission? Reporters, do your job.

A big win for democracy and the rule of law. Proud of the work of Elias Law Group to secure this victory. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

🚨BREAKING: The Maine Democratic Party just announced tentative plans for a nominating convention to select a new Senate candidate in case Graham Platner drops out. The convention would feature roughly 600 delegates chosen by county-level Democratic committees. #MESenate

You know what's cool? Books.

I served this nation for 21 years under presidents of both parties. Six years ago today, I was forced to retire, following months of retaliation for a decision I made to defend our Constitution. I’ll always call out corruption, regardless of party — it’s the right thing to do.

To those who railed about Biden’s ability to govern: Why are you so silent about #Mitch? Answer: #gop hypocrisy. #VoteBlue #DNC #Midterms #taco #epsteinfiles

Per his campaign, James Talarico raised $30 million+ in the 2nd quarter.... "the largest amount ever raised by a U.S. Senate candidate in the second quarter of an election year"

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Ever the relentless liars….

SCOTUS strikes down Trump’s attempted ban on birthright citizenship, confirms the 14th Amendment isn’t just a suggestion. Stephen Miller’s tears might overflow the Potomac.

The RNC thought it had found a new way to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of lawful voters. It spent millions building a case in an attempt to use disenfranchisement as a systematic tool to gain partisan advantage. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

A win! The Supreme Court ruled that states can continue counting mail ballots that are postmarked by Election Day, even if they arrive afterward when state law allows it.

www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa... How many tanks of gas? How eggs? Would it help pay the dentist? Why has democracy and its institutions failed to protect the American people? Why has our democracy allowed a criminal lunatic freak narcissistic republican president inflict so much pain and suffering ?

Why can't Trump clean a pool, or throw a real 250th party? It's not (just) incompetence. It's also corruption.

SCOTUS today: - States can count mail in ballots arriving late as long as they are postmarked prior to the election - won’t hear Trump’s E Jean Carroll appeal - won’t hear Dersh’s CNN appeal - Trump can’t fire Lisa Cook #Winning

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

America's largest #windfarm is now fully operational, marking a major milestone in the transition to #renewableenergy.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

CNN shows a side by side of J.D. Vance taking credit for what Obama already had in place — an Iran deal Trump ripped up before killing a lot of people and wasting a lot of money (at Israel’s request) H/T @acyn.bsky.social

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Sen. @warren.senate.gov & Sen. Moreno announce a bipartisan plan to save Social Security, projected to see a huge benefits cut in 6 years. The cornerstone: lifting the FICA tax cap so the wealthiest pay the same % as those making under $184.5K per year (the current cap level).

The New York political machine just learned a painful lesson: Voters don’t care how long you’ve held power. They care whether you’ve earned it. Two incumbents are out. The ground is shifting. #NYPolitics
