Research has shown that signature matching leads to disproportionately high levels of rejected ballots for voters of color, as well as those who are new, young, old, politically unaffiliated or disabled. Sometimes, signature-matching efforts disqualify more legitimate than illegitimate ballots.

WaPo-Ipsos poll: Trump job approval 37% approve 61% disapprove 71% of independents disapprove

Donald Trump admires Putin because he is hoping to turn America into a Russia-style klepto-state. He is well on his way.

A text sent to Don Jr from Julian Assange about election rigging lies way back in 2016.

There’s something very dystopian about an authoritarian president letting the country know he’s planning on rigging elections and the main takeaway from people is either that he was boring or that they didn’t watch it. Everything feels so out of fucking whack right now.

He Should Be Fired Immediately and Investigated…..

Good morning from Navy Pier, where the air is still trying to kill us. Air quality reading is 366 — hazardous for everyone. Let’s be careful out there

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

No one is taking him seriously. Every report I’ve seen including from Australia, talks about his past election denial, Jan 6th and the Russian document mistakingly released saying they were helping trump win. Basically it backfired. Karma. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/u...

Russia ending up a Chinese vassal state because of Putin's dipshittery has me hoping the Canadians are feeling ambitious.

I hope people are starting to understand that as leftist ideas grow in popularity, as economic conditions worsen, and as opposition to the tech oligarchs grows that the powerful are going to criminalize all of it in order to maintain control. We have to prepare for it because it’s coming.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:   "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

One doc dumped tonight includes tip to FBI that "China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address” so Chinese govt could make fake drivers’ licenses to request ballots. Problem w/ conspiracy theory: TikTok doesn’t ask for street address

Reminder: As DNI, Gabbard commissioned two reports from firms who examined voting machines. Both reports say there was no voter fraud in 2020. Trump is blocking the release of those reports. Gabbard briefed the White House. She no longer works at DNI.

Another "run of the mill" corruption story - relevant to today's hearing on Trump's Attorney General nominee: It's the story of Grab A Gun, a company that put Don Jr. on its board and (VOILA!) got DOJ to change gun regulations to give it a corrupt head start in the market.

I don’t think people appreciate the fact that Trump and the GOP want to defund all your services- including SS and Medicare- and use that money to take the worlds already biggest defense budget and more than double it. Double it

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. No one in America is safe from Trump's deadly police state.

New York Times reporter Annie Karni says she is hearing that as many as 150 House Democrats could vote for a measure to cut all U.S. aid to Israel. The vote would be symbolic, but that level of Democratic support would mark a dramatic shift in decades of American foreign policy.

Vote appropriately…

#Chicago Heads up!!!

People died because Trump lied about the 2020 election. Will the news media expose the coming lies by a person they know lies every day? Or will they pretend they’ve been memory-wiped and that he might be telling the truth this time? These new lies may kill more people. Will the media be complicit?

youtube.com/watch?v=uLAW... @hcrichardson.bsky.social keeping history front and center for context in these extraordinary times…

Tomorrow, the Senate will take a key vote on the $1.1 TRILLION defense bill. It not only fails to rein in Trump’s Iran war, it also has a provision touted by PM Netanyahu to MANDATE more U.S. defense cooperation with Israel. None of this is in our national security interests. I will vote NO.
