A Texas County Cuts Over 100 Polling Sites as Trump Attacks Mail-In Voting Nationally talkingpointsmemo.com/news/a-texas...
Good point! Our National Guard is hardly likely to throw in with Trump, when he’s screwing them on things like getting benefits. (Trump’s cutting our NG off with only 29 days deployments to avoid paying them benefits. Even tho he’s happily spending millions on his own golfing!)
In Nobel peace prize news:
“in 1946, the avg life expectancy in the US was ~66 yrs. Today, it is 78+ yrs. While med advances have helped, it is public health that has played the biggest role in improving both the length & quality of life in our nation… [Now] each of us must do what PH does best, to look out for one another”🧪🛟
Voters of Tomorrow is eager to take back the house next year by putting organizers on college campus in flippable Congressional seats. But, we're still just $840 away from our August fundraising goal. Can you chip in to help us turn Congress blue? secure.actblue.com/donate/votho...
The truth is there is no secret plan to defend American democracy. But what gives me hope is when people reject the cool cynicism of despair and choose to act rather than surrender. That is what keeps democracy alive, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

⚡️ Ukraine destroys Russian S-300 radar in occupied Crimea, military says. Radars serve as the "eyes" of an air defense system — without them, anti-aircraft units are effectively blind and unable to operate.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
I like the rebrand.
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
CHICAGO…

Is it only the black soldiers doing the work or am I seeing things?
MAGA turning the National Guard into landscapers is embarrassing but also predictable. They’re here to destroy America by making a mockery out of everything. They’re doing Putin’s bidding.
Love seeing @rollingstone.com and @newrepublic.com pick up on the Cottonwood School story this week, published in @streetroots.bsky.social 3 weeks ago. ICE making a school move—and how the buildings’ shared landlord could endanger students—reveals the complexity of protecting people in this moment.
Georgia has always been Russia's testing ground. From secessionism to embargoes and outright invasion, the current takeover is actually a step further, it's what Russia aims to do with Ukraine eventually. Helping Georgians means crushing Russia's playbook for the future.

BREAKING: The Texas House just voted to expand the state’s extreme abortion ban by criminalizing anyone who makes, prescribes, or transports abortion medication — even out-of-state. Texas already has poor reproductive health care, and this will make it worse.
A court gave Trump the green light to start canceling federal workers' union contracts. Millions of public servants will have fewer rights and protections at work. Trump's Republican Party is anti-worker — period.
"Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket has quietly become a pro-democracy media force, expanding its newsroom to 20 staffers as it surpasses 50,000 paid subscribers." Story here: www.status.news/p/democracy-...
Current and former DOJ lawyers say Leo Terrell, Trump’s pick to lead an antisemitism task force, has voiced open disdain for what he calls “lawyer talk,” berating staff who try to follow proper procedures for investigating civil rights complaints.
American aircraft intercepted a Russian surveillance flight Tuesday off the coast of Alaska for the fifth time in the past week, defense officials said.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge dismissed a Department of Justice lawsuit against every federal district judge in Maryland. The ruling, by a Trump appointee, slammed the Trump administration for an “unprecedented” effort to “smear and impugn” judges who rule against it.
Trump’s immigration raids are destroying our agricultural workforce — inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities. On California Farmworker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy. We will not stop defending your rights.
Beautiful.
I dont wanna hear shit from republicans when Dems fight back. ##Sheshed www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
No one is saying this except Trump.
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.
Maybe just let it go. 🤷♀️
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
Cracker Barrel has decided to dump its new logo hours after Trump urged the restaurant chain to go back to its old one
Join the National Guard they say.. There are so many ARMED NATIONAL GUARD in Washington DC.... And there is no crime .. Their ICE buddies are picking up innocent Brown Americans just going to work What ?...Yes soldier Pick up the trash

Breaking on MSNBC: An attorney for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook says they're planning to sue Trump after he threatened to fire her — alleging he "has no authority" to do so.
NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice to target Democrats. Rep. Rob Menendez joins me to discuss Trump’s threat to the immigrant community, the federal takeover of Washington, D.C., and the GOP’s refusal to do their job. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9Gq...
Not a cult in any way
Last day to respond!! Please take the time if you have capacity.
Lisa Cook is right not to resign. Trump’s attempt to fire her without cause is flatly illegal. www.nysun.com/article/i-wi...
The National Guard is now Trump’s personal strike squad, patrolling civilian areas, armed with military-grade weaponry. This is martial law.

Now I know what ICE will tell the world when I am taken I was born during my parents' tour of Germany My dad joined to escape segregation in North Carolina I joined, too There's only a handful of countries they can send me to where I won't be killed for MY service... bsky.app/profile/jenn...
The Japanese signed an “Instrument of Surrender” on the USS Missouri not a treaty as a result of negotiations. Grade: F
See Sarah Kendzior if you aren’t familiar with her already. The Dem party willingly allowed this (Trump Regime) to happen. Biden was a transition. She has facts.

A man who was just getting names and badges for officers was wrongfully detained in D.C. He then yelled, “AFTER THE TRIALS ARE HELD, YOU WILL ALL BE IN JAIL.” 🔥 #FreeDC
HOUSTON: “An investigation is underway after two men wearing ski masks and claiming to be police were shot and killed at a home in southeast Houston Friday night…” It was only a matter of time. Trump’s masked Gestapo makes everyone unsafe. www.khou.com/article/news...

Know your rights, Chicago. Ask for a warrant. Record the goons from a safe distance. We don’t want or need them here.
And it will be remembered (condemned) in much the same way.
Newsom: 175 billion in the bill that was just signed to reinforce the ranks of ICE for what is increasingly becoming self-evident a private army for Donald Trump. Owing an oath only to him, not the constitution
Loving CA’s new maps! Look who will be representing MAGA-led Huntington Beach! Robert Garcia will shake up the orange curtain in ways CA GOP hates. Lol! Everybody’s gone surfin, surfin USA. 🤣😁😁
🔥 Newsom is right: playing nice while Trump shreds the rulebook is a dead end. This is what we the people have been waiting for—leaders ready to fight hardball, not fold. If we don’t rise up now,freedom won’t exist. Democracy is the fight. Everything else depends on it.
🚨BREAKING: In a setback for the RNC, the Arizona Supreme Court GRANTED a petition for review of the RNC's lower court win. With this ruling, the 2023 Election Procedures Manual will likely be in effect until this case is resolved or the 2025 EPM is enacted. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...
Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.
Show me another media outlet that provided more coverage of the most important democracy news today. I could not be prouder of the Democracy Docket team! www.democracydocket.com
Trump is telling us his plan for 2026. Those of us who care about free and fair elections must take him seriously and literally. We cannot simply bring guns to a gun fight. We need to bring missiles.

The Washington Post just published its latest op-ed lamenting the "outrageously excessive fine" that was imposed on Donald Trump and celebrating it being "thrown out." Democracy died over there. Now we just get to read about its rotting corpse.

Everything Trump is doing is aimed at making it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat. But we are going to fight like hell in court and we will win.
Would love our state to be next, @govpritzker.illinois.gov
What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

My latest piece, on a child left motherless after ICE stole her mother away. And now this child herself is gone without a trace. It’s about what happens after cell phones stop recording and the viral moment fades, but the trauma to these families continues. open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

GROK admits Twitter deleted @shaunking’s tweets about the Israeli cyber unit guy popped in a child sex crime sting in Vegas… at the request of Israel’s cybersecurity unit🤨 remember when Elon acted like stopping this kind of thing was why he bought Twitter? That was adorable.
Going on vacation tomorrow so spent Saturday night making maps of all the places in Ohio, West Virginia and South Carolina with higher violent crime and murder rates than D.C. Perhaps better places for those governors to focus resources! www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work. The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.
