Why has the GOP been so procedurally extreme for so long? Because Republicans radicalized themselves against the government they were working within. There was a real logic to it, quite apart from the awful substantive vision. Now, Dems are working in a government fully corrupted by Donald Trump...

As the midterms approach, the most serious threat to free and fair elections is local—in statehouses and county offices, where a cohort of election deniers are taking control, Toluse Olorunnipa reports.

The Election Deniers’ Long Game
Right-wing activists have slowly taken control of a significant part of America’s local election apparatus. The country isn’t prepared for what they might do.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

With only nine months before the midterms, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress. But contrary to many doomsayers, it isn’t too late to protect the elections. @marcelias.bsky.social shares three voting laws every blue state should enact to do so👇

Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdom—that he won the culture in the first place—was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.

Spotify is running ads to help ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. We’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...
(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY

ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST.
IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY.

• Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads
• Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts.
• Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

If you're going down to the ICE Facility in Portland to protest, we are hearing that it is already getting spicy. ICE propaganda machine is itching to manufacture the headlines they were denied by millions at No Kings rallies. Don't give them a single piece of usable footage. Deny them.

WATCH: @amandacarpenter.bsky.social on the common sense case governors should be making to #KeepTheGuardHome. “Some of these governors need to take responsibility for their own state, and say: I cannot in good faith send these troops to D.C., away from our own citizens meant to serve our people.”

The story of how Trump sells access to the White House - to benefit himself and his family financially and to benefit his political operation - is shocking and sordid. No President has ever monetized access like Trump has. 1/ It's a story you need to know.

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

Bombing Iran is a terrible idea. It’s unlikely to work—and nothing could be more perilous to American democracy than going to war under Donald Trump, Robert Kagan writes. theatln.tc/CH1ulpLM

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

After Rümeysa Öztürk wrote an op-ed about Palestinians in Gaza, masked, plainclothes ICE agents grabbed her off the street. No one knew who they were or if it was even a real arrest. In a democracy, that shouldn’t happen. And we can’t let it become the new normal.
