What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and it’s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

🚨 Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.

Watch all of this.

Iran’s Foreign Minister says Trump derailed a potential path to de-escalation. He says Iran signaled openness to lowering tensions but Trump’s actions β€œalmost immediately killed” that opportunity, warning if he seeks escalation, it’s β€œprecisely what our Armed Forces have long been prepared for.”

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

A lot of us have been saying the people in the Trump administration act like this war is a video game.

The White House troll account confirmed it. πŸ‘€

AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s β€œhuge humanitarian caseload.”

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data β€œElection officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

Chicago-based construction firm Clayco launches solar energy business The construction firm will add nearly 1,000 employees nationwide by 2027 to its new unit, called Clayco Power and Energy.

Donald Trump may have gutted federal support for solar energy, but it's getting time to shine in Illinois.

With our Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, we're incentivizing renewable energy with results like the launch of Clayco Power and Energy.

Sherrill: And when people would say to me, β€œWhy don’t you just do it?” I found that offensive. Because this isn’t his money. This is the people’s money. It isn’t his money to leverage for his own personal desires.

Yeah, Trump's ratings are dogshit, and we haven't gotten to the part where he's the first president to ever eagerly throw millions off their health insurance.

(Though the first millions have already started, which may explain some of the dogshit polls.)

The whole country is Spartacus. Stephen Miller is furious. What Hilton v. Noem means for your right to document Trump's abuses.

That’s Stephen Miller’s whole game: speak your horrors into reality. And escalate when you’re checked or defeated in any way.

The Real Litmus Test for Democratic Presidential Candidates Supporting a wealth tax.

"The greatest β€œrisk” for the Democratic Party in 2028 is not some Clinton-era projection of what PA voters believe to be radical; it is the possibility that the already-existing oligarchs might use their power to convince the Democrats not to attack their fortunes even if they win the election."

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Even if Elon never elected Trump, even if DOGE never sentenced millions to death, he'd still be one of the greatest asshols of all time for the Boring Company, which exists primarily to fool municipalities out of building actually useful public transportation.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
