See my previous post. Why the midterm elections stand to be less than free and fair.

My poem, Widow, on Vox Populi today. #poetry voxpopulisphere.com/2025/06/21/s...

As we begin another week, my law firm is litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. Democracy remains on the docket.

Medicaid covers... -40% of births nationwide -50% of kids with special needs -72 million people in total Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.  "Party of family values."

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

And as AG, Bondi has ordered the Foreign Influence Task Force to be "disbanded." www.justice.gov/ag/media/138...

Say it clearly—the problem is not “Congress”—it is the Republican Party in Congress, its enthusiasts and cowards, mostly passive while this regime assumes Congressional powers of taxation & disregards laws—while the Trumps freely engage in fraud and grift. The most corrupt US President in history.

Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media. What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation. www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...

BREAKING: A California judge has ordered the Trump administration to pause much of its massive downsizing of the federal workforce.

I talked to @davidfrum.bsky.social about kleptocracy, autocracy, and what connects them youtu.be/cpU26qBcBuw?...

🚨BREAKING: Jefferson Griffin, the Republican candidate in the 2024 North Carolina state Supreme Court election, finally conceded six months after losing the race to incumbent Justice Allison Riggs, a Democrat, the Associated Press reported. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

#EU will not recognize #Crimea as part of Russia, Kallas says. Top diplomat Kaja Kallas said the EU is also drawing up a “plan B” to maintain economic sanctions on #Russia in case the Trump administration pulls out of #Ukraine peace negotiations. #CrimeaIsUkraine #Ukraine #RussiaIsATerroristState

Most corrupt President in American history

Here we go...

"The most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

The definition of stupid www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

NASA’s budget would be slashed nearly in half under Trump’s current proposal to Congress—a move that would wipe out billions in ongoing and future missions. Wonder who that benefits? (Sarcasm, of course.)

BREAKING: Everyone at the Department of Health and Human Services who sets federal poverty guidelines, which determine whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for programs like Medicaid, food assistance, child care, and more, has been fired. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

The Social Security system is crashing, locking senior citizens out for long stretches nearly every day. And Trump's solution is to lay off 1000 more workers and slash the IT budget by 50%. Start asking if the purpose is to crash our economy and society. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Republicans in Congress — Don’t collaborate! Do your jobs!

Tariffs Are Taxes on the American Consumer

Hands off Medicaid *** Hands off nursing home care for elders *** Hands off support for 40 percent of live births *** Hands of Medicaid ***

Hands off veterans’ benefits *** Hands off veterans’ health care *** Hands off the VA

Hands off our Social Security funds *** Hands off our pension funds (stock market dive)*** Hands off our retirement security***

HANDS OFF March on Saturday. Find your local people and show up!!!

My poem on the wonderful vox populi site today—the vision of writer and editor Michael Simms. Check out the site, if you don’t already know it. And subscribe for free. #poetry #poems #writingcommunity voxpopulisphere.com/2025/03/31/s...

DOGE’s federal property sell-off has accidentally revealed a CIA black site in Northern Virginia, according to Bloomberg.

I feel like “Republicans stole 32 grand from you last year, and that was before they broke into the treasury” would be good messaging.

“They are coming for Social Security,” is the take home message, per MSNBC analysts, given the amount of time Hyperbole spent on so-called “fraud and abuse” in Social Security. In fact, the SSA has coded 1875 birth dates when staff knew that information in a file was missing.

Best riposte of the day. Every time the man goes to Florida he costs us millions of dollars.

Poem today in Vox Populi. With thanks to editor Michael Simms! voxpopulisphere.com/2025/03/03/s...

Asking my representatives: Did you thank Zelensky? @schumer.senate.gov #kirstengillibrand @ritchietorres.bsky.social

MAKE IT HAPPEN stoptrump.org.uk/petition-can...

Up is down, down is up per President Hyperbole. Peace depends only on Russia withdrawing.“Trump has falsely claimed that Ukraine started the war, has refused to acknowledge Russia’s invasion of the country, and has disparaged Zelensky as a “dictator” while refusing to call Putin one.” NYT

How do Americans contribute money to Ukraine’s fight against the aggressor, Russia? We can have peace tomorrow if Russia withdraws.
