As our moving billboard said on Friday, Todd Blanche protected Trump on the Epstein files. Common Cause and our 1 million members will block Blanche from becoming the next Attorney General. Our country deserves better.

the best evidence for voter fraud is ... that there is no evidence of fraud!

DC Arch public comments are now open. As much as many of us would like to simply submit “FDT,” comments are far more likely to be considered if they raise specific concerns about the project. Federal agencies are only required to consider substantive comments,

Your Duke Energy bill open.substack.com/pub/jeffjack... Thank you, A.G. Jeff Jackson, for asking the N.C. Utilities Commission to create a separate rate class for data centers and other very large energy users. @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social

With the help of the Supreme Court continuing to show their partisan colors, Alabama has officially re-joined the Old Confederacy. But make no mistake, we intend to build a better Alabama where everyone has a seat at the table.

"The Court’s behavior in the Louisiana and Alabama cases over the past six weeks can’t be reconciled with or explained by any coherent understanding of what Purcell supposedly stands for. ... The overall pattern reveals justices behaving in a way that has no obvious explanation other than politics."

Maine voters need to be reminded, to the tune of about $40 million worth of TV commercials, of Collins’s support for putting Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. trib.al/FPFfQR1

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

Think about this research nearly every day now reading the news.

Here’s the breakdown of the new lawsuit filed to stop Trump from continuing to build “the claw“ on the south lawn of the White House and hold the UFC cage fights planned for his birthday. The details in the lawsuit are astonishing. We work through them: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

"Mario" sent this video showing his work during the cherry harvest. "Going up and down the 12 ft ladder is difficult especially when you have a full bucket. I earn $6/30 lb bucket. On a good day, I fill 21 buckets in 7 hours. Then I need to drive almost 2 hours home." #WeFeedYou

Does anyone want to remember that there was a bipartisan immigration deal that Trump destroyed that would have avoided all of this?

NEW: The American Postal Workers Union is “deeply alarmed” about the new USPS rule carrying out Trump's attack on mail-in voting. The union says it “rejects the premise” that the USPS needs to comply with Trump’s orders.

Just yesterday, House Republicans voted to strip fruit and vegetable benefits from nearly 5.4 MILLION women and children on WIC. That's on top of Trump's Big Ugly SNAP cuts, as food prices continue to surge. The GOP wants Americans to go hungry to make the rich even richer.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly accelerated the countdown to the collapse of the Nazis in World War II. It happened then. We are trying to make it happen now.

82 years ago, on the 6th of June 1944, 160.000 Allied troops crossed the English channel in Operation Neptune, now commonly referred to as D-Day. Op to 9.000 people lost their lives (both Allied and Axis troops) with thousands more missing or heavily injured. #otd #history 🗃️

NEW: One day after Trump baselessly accused California Democrats of trying to "steal" the state's gubernatorial primary, the DOJ said its pursuing election fraud probes in the state. The development comes amid the state's delayed primary count, which are a normal part of the verification process.

The Attorney General's job is to defend the law — not defend the President. Todd Blanche has spent his career proving his loyalty to one man, not the American people. That's exactly why he should NOT be the next Attorney General. 5 reasons to reject Todd Blanche: https://bit.ly/4vonOzG

Rep. McBride: “I assume you’re aware that Greenland is indeed part of Denmark.” Rubio: “For now.”

I am happy that the House of Representatives voted to end the Iran war unless it receives Congressional approval. Four Republicans joined Democrats to approve the resolution and provide checks on the President, but Ben Cline believes that loyalty to this Administration is his top priority.

Gas prices are up. Food prices are up. Health care costs are up. And Donald Trump is showing off his pool.

This fight isn't over. We need law, not promises. And remember: Trump's settlement forces the IRS (that he controls) to drop ALL audits of Trump, his family and businesses. Dropping one of those audits could save Trump $100 MILLION. I have a bill to stop this corruption.

"Walter was too good a reporter not to take into account all the people he talked to on that trip," Laurence, now 78 and living in England, told me by email — meaning both the spin from the generals and the reality of the bitter fighting he'd glimpsed in Hue.

Worth noting that Iran has said this in every negotiation over the last 20 years. Whether that means anything is up for debate. But there's nothing new about it. It's not even a concession. They say they won't try to build or acquire nuclear weapons.

Why is an insurrectionist rioter handling counterterrorism while we’re at war? Or at all?

Trump suggests January 6 was an inside job: "The FBI said, 'Go in, Go in!'" (Trump in fact was president during January 6 and he hand-picked the leader of the FBI.)

A few hours left to submit a comment on this monstrosity.

Sens. Kaine and Paul say that the military’s targeting criteria don’t include the presence of drugs or arms, John Haltiwanger reports.

This is good: Dems are moving to force Rs to vote on Trump's corrupt IRS immunity deal, now that the slush fund is in doubt. The exemption from IRS audits is getting overlooked, but it shouldn't. Dems tell me they're pushing for votes to kill it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

This isn’t a coincidence.     Trump bought millions of dollars’ worth of Dell stock. Nine days later, he told a rally crowd to “go out and buy a Dell computer.” Then he bought even more Dell stock. Three months after that, his Pentagon handed Dell a $9.7 billion government contract.

I'm gonna post this everyday so MAGA never forgets what Trump did on Jan 6

A Truly Amazing Exercise of Justice open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Judge Cannon has done everything possible to keep Volume II of the Jack Smith report buried. The 11th Circuit just stepped in. I've been tracking this one for months — here's where things stand. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

TODAY IN 2024: “Their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion, beyond a reasonable doubt: That the defendant, Donald J. Trump, is guilty of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election.” manhattanda.org/d-a-bragg-de...

A round up of this week's @250to250.bsky.social one-minute videos about U.S. History:

WIN: A GOP provision in New Hampshire that would have made voting more difficult is unconstitutional and would have required voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register, an “unjustifiable burden on the right to vote,” a federal judge ruled.

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

As the Trump administration seeks to repeal coal ash clean-up rules, environmental groups said the EPA’s proposed amendment guts protections against the dangers of burning coal and puts the nation’s groundwater at risk.

The Justice Department removed information about the January 6 insurrectionists from its website. @lawfaremedia.org has preserved and posted it www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

A Project 2025 architect just said the quiet part out loud: they proposed 1,913 recommendations. 1,055 are already implemented. And the credit? “Donald J. Trump.” This was always the plan. You were always meant to think it wasn’t. #momsky#sheshed

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.
