The Brennan Center and @campaignlegal.org just filed a brief in the DOJ’s lawsuit against the AZ secretary of state over obtaining the state’s voter file. The DOJ is seeking access to highly sensitive voter info, incl. partial Social Security numbers. Read: 1/3
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
The US started a war in the Middle East with hundreds of thousands of American civilians in the region. No evacuation plan. No warning. And when they called for help, this is what they heard.
So Pam #Bondi has introduced a rule for #DOJ that gives all DOJ lawyers immunity... wtaf?!!
There is a public comment period. Put in your opposition comment - it will support the lawsuits coming after this rule is in place. THE COMMENT LINK IS UNDER VIDEO:

Deifying professional athletes is bad.
Drafting them for your grift team is Republican.
Barack Obama: "Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack."

OpEd: The cruelty of this kind of reform frames Medicaid recipients as costs to be controlled instead of neighbors who are trying to survive.

Monstrous fiction.
And meanwhile, unbeknownst to people like Joe & his listeners--as they *support* creeps & ghouls--the sweet family that lives down the street, raising kids, working hard, supporting community, organizing that effort to help victims of a recent disaster--includes a trans person.
That was what was so infuriating in 2015-2016...
Almost no time was spent by American media looking at Trump's long & well-documented history. To most people, it was like he sprang into being w/ his TV show. Nothing about what he does is surprising to people who already knew. It's been sickening.
Trump’s retribution could impact our intelligence & security.
Host: Just days before a major US operation in Iran, Kash Patel fired a dozen agents from a counterintelligence unit tracking Iranian threats. All had ties to the probe of Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist.
It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.
Trump and the GOP only seek to apply the law in as far as it serves to dismantle the law.
From city councils to ICE to SCOTUS, it is dastardly and devastating.
I have long thought Christian Cultism is behind the RW members of SCOTUS decisions--they truly believe they are End-of-Times subcontractors for God, and that they answer to a higher calling than the Constitution.
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

⚠️🚨🚨
If you've read about people going to the wrong polling place to vote in Texas today, here is a clear explanation of what just happened. It is both disgusting and terrifying how the Republican party (in general) and Ken Paxton (specifically) intentionally suppressed Dem votes in this election.
Yep. MK is on the MAGA influencer payroll, and everything that comes out of her mouth must ultimately support Trump.
What a pickle.🤮
This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.
I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

Hillary Clinton could have legally stopped testifying at this point but, because she has NOTHING TO HIDE, she actually went back in and finished her testimony!!
#Republicans, with that complete IDIOT #JamesComer at the helm, are nothing but a worthless CLOWN SHOW!!
This November, #VOTETHEMOUT‼️
Wondering when each state has primary elections? Here you go!

Last week the Justice Department sued 5 more states demanding access to their unredacted voter rolls—escalating a campaign that has been rejected by multiple federal courts and faces bipartisan resistance. The total number of jurisdictions sued has now risen to 30. @lwvus.bsky.social
Sometime in Trump 1.0, all instances I've found of this Ivana interview were modified--even on the interviewer's YT channel. Edited out: Ivana talking about Donald's need to win at all costs. Even in their divorce, it didn't matter that she was mother of his children.

Can someone please let me know when the entire Trump family is going to be arrested? I’d like to organize my schedule around it. Thanks.
This has long been my thinking about SCOTUS behavior
--even before Project 2025 was making the rounds.
The RW thinks God needs a subcontractor to move along Armageddon, & they can't wait to take the keys to their mansions and walk those streets paved with gold.
We are governed by lunatics.
Without fail, better words. All the words.
In the weird world of the MAGA-colonized mind, maybe that gets Comer some mileage.
But for the other 60-some% of folks who are not in stocks, staring at shadows on the cave wall, this tragically and transparently absurd nonsense goes nowhere.
Just no--that's not how it works.
