Great question. Maybe they're vying for Trump Regime Toadie of the week with Faux News?

Y’all wonder who fought the 60+ frivolous 2020 GQP election cases and won?? @marcelias.bsky.social and @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social And @democracydocket.com is our defense against Trump’s authoritarian takeover in the courts. I donate monthly and call it my Happy Tax! You should, too.

Have never watched Fox or CNN. Don't have cable only streaming. Only people on MSNBC I watch are Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell but I can pick them up on YouTube. No newspapers of any kind from anywhere.

I am going n Colorado. My town has one polling place because we have mail in voting. It would take a full year to build an infrastructure to do paper ballots on Election Day. What a nightmare.

Oh man, yeah, good question. Very good question. Who at the @nytimes.com thinks the Constitution gives him *implied* authority? Or that *maybe* it does? Hey, Mr Sulzberger, if you need to raise prescription rates in order to hire a couple of headline writers with Con Law backgrounds, do it. Ffs.

Because they’re pussies. They’re afraid of saying outright that Trimp doesn’t have the power or authority d you can tell it’s bogus because the constitution also doesn’t say it implicitly. They threw explicit in there to soften it, to leave the door open to giving Trimp benefit of doubt. #weak

The NYT does have a habit of slipping in those caveat words, especially in headlines, when describing Trump’s clearly illegal or destructive actions, as a way of softening the edges.

what ever came of that mail ballot box that was set on fire or exploded a few days/weeks before the count? were any of those voters contacted? likely not. same w ballot box that was stolen off the street by the town’s mayor. how tf can the remaining pillars of govt just allow him to do this?

Because our whole government rolled over for 🌮 and put executive orders into action. Politicians on both sides and people throughout our government agencies are implicated in the #EpsteinFiles and they are holding out for 🌮's coverup. He told O'Reilly that the files would take down a lot of people.

Because the time practices access journalism and need to keep the administration answering its calls. Fair enough since that has value. Just understand that when you are reading it

Get out the vote. Encourage voting and voter registration and if time permitting help with voter registration. We have to vote them out. Know your state's voting laws. Republicans can only win by voter suppression, gerrymandering, let's not let then cheat to win. Thank you, Democracy Docket. 💙

I'm thinking that when voters follow the constitution & continue the mail-in voting, if MAGAS are not "winning" in the midterm elections, Trump will try to invalidate all the mail-in ballots & claim it was his "executive order" even though that executive order is unconstitutional. It's how he rolls.

I also think Trump will have ICE [Trump's Gestapo] intimidate & threaten voters by demanding they show ID before they can vote. They, too, will claim that Trump's "executive order" requires it even though it is unconstitutional for Trump to demand this through an executive order.

The courts need to publicly state that Trump's executive orders on these voting issues are unconstitutional...or Trump will insist that HIS ORDERS need to be carried out under threats & intimidation.

He'll use extortion to get what he wants, even if it means destroying the economy of states that keep our county running. When he stops federal money from coming back to CA, will we have the will to stop our tax money from flowing to Washington?
