The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

Every election, Mississippi Free Press fact-checks polling places so voters have accurate information before they head to the polls. It’s one way we help protect access to the ballot and strengthen trust in our elections. Donate Today: buff.ly/883uHLj

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

Donald Trump continues to threaten free and fair elections in Georgia. @keishaforga.bsky.social is serving a #CupOfJoe full of solid reasons to show up and vote in record numbers. Democrats outvoted Republicans by 150,000 votes in the primary — let’s build on that momentum.

I ordered a cheap watch online, assuming it was coming from China, as my previous cheap watches have. It arrived today & it’s from Ukraine!! With a lovely little personalized note! If I had known I would have gotten two!!

The constitution provides that states run elections. The federal govt does not. There is no legal authority for Mullin to take over elections, issue mandates & rules, or threaten elections officials with prison for failure to comply with unlawful orders. bsky.app/profile/atru...

At least 75 career federal officials who’d played important roles in elections have left, been fired or been reassigned. In their place are roughly two dozen people Trump has installed in positions that could affect elections. Ten of them actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote. (Published April)

This is absolutely DISGUSTING, and completely unacceptable. Is this “pre-absolving” troops for “inevitable” SA??

FFS! Fires don’t respect borders and artificial boundaries! We should be sending as much help as we possibly can- these are our neighbors, our friends! And they’re PEOPLE! Come ON! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

THANK YOU @wired.com !

I’ve lived in Beijing too. They don’t have elections.

Excellent! in the sense that it shuts down the tar sands operations. It didn’t have to be like this.

MEMPHIS: “Elon Musk's xAI has installed far more gas turbines without federal permits at its Colossus 2 data center project than publicly acknowledged, and pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest….” www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Because special boy won't walk. Or take a super short golf cart ride to where previous presidents take off.

The “most transparent administration ever”

News outlets already know Trump’s speech tonight will focus on disinformation regarding voting machines and foreign influence in elections. They have no business airing it live without real-time fact-checking.

OMG ARIZONA PEEPS!!! Early voting ends TOMORROW & only 10% of eligible voters have done so!! PLEASE VOTE NOW- or on Tuesday in person!! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

There is no end. There is no bottom. It's a free for all bc they're all sure that consequences will never come.

Today's reporting is exactly why I'm leading legislation to ban Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, and senior federal officials from trading stocks and betting on prediction markets.
 
It's not a free market. It's corruption.

TENNESSEE PEEPS!!! Know your district!! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

ICE previously said it “found no responsive records” related to possible plans to deploy agents at the polls this fall, a tactic meant to intimidate voters and influence election outcomes. The reality? ICE may have thousands of relevant documents — and hasn’t produced a single one.

If I’m reading this correctly, it seems like it could be a real win for local Detroit residents who might be able to get some of these properties thru bankruptcy proceedings.

Now, more than ever, it is time for Yale, higher education, and civil society as a whole to keep their nerve and refuse to voluntarily concede critical freedoms to a faltering fascist regime growing more desperate by the day to cling to power. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

That’s called war crimes

🚨BREAKING: Jay Clayton, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who President Donald Trump tapped for director of national intelligence (DNI), repeatedly declined to clearly state who won the 2020 election during his confirmation hearing Wednesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Another "unprecedented" moment in the Trump 2.0 era A US Attorney General nominee has taken the oath for confirmation hearings at the Senate, 36 hours after a judge referred that nominee to the New York bar for disciplinary review

Heads up, Indiana folks www.heritagerallies.com

🚨 Todd Blanche will appear before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Cmte. on July 15 for a confirmation hearing. ☎️ To voice opposition to his nomination for U.S. Atty General, contact Chmn Chuck Grassley (R-IA) or Ranking Member Dick Durbin (D-IL) at their Washington, D.C. offices, or ... 1/2

EVERY WOMAN WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME NAME ON ALL HER DOCUMENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE! Overseas voters. Military voters. Expats. People who vote by mail. YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR VOTE COUNTED IS BEING NULLIFIED IF THIS PASSES.

A federal judge just told the New York bar that Todd Blanche may not be fit to practice law. Trump wants that guy running all of law enforcement. Tell the Senate no. 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This report by the numbers: - 412 verified incidents of serious injury from “less-lethal weapons” like tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets in the last year - A prior report identified 70 children with similar injuries Doctors say this is likely an underestimate.

The Supreme Court "requested a $16.6 million budget increase amid escalating threats against judges." I may be wrong, but it seems to me security was never much of an issue for the SCOTUS back when justices based decisions on the Constitution and legal precedent. www.rawstory.com/amy-coney-ba...?

LFG!!! Fantastic!

DOJ 0-15 in seeking to compel illegal access to voter registration lists. Thank you @democracydocket.com and @marcelias.bsky.social !!

I would love to be pleasantly surprised by see the media actually do journalism around this, but I'm prepared to be disappointed once again.

Well THAT didn’t take long!! I just LOVE this account!

Shocking.. they lied.

Todd Blanche shifted from protecting Trump in criminal court to leading the DOJ that charged him. This is no career path. It is a hostile takeover of American justice. #BlockBlanche

Election deniers, up and down the Arizona ballot. Arizona votes next week, and my preview shows the breathtaking degree to which the GOP primaries feature public officials and candidates who actively tried to overturn the 2020 election — including a fake Trump elector making a comeback.

If true, this is HUGE!

BREAKING: E. Jean Carroll just received Trump's $5 million — plus interest. Despite Trump's repeated attempts to block Carroll from receiving the money, $5,625,005.48 was disbursed to Carroll's legal team this week. www.ms.now/news/e-jean-...
