ACTION ALERT: Becoming a poll worker is one of the most direct things you can do to protect free and fair elections this Nov. It's nonpartisan, it's paid in most states. We've partnered with Power the Polls to make it easy to find opportunities near you. Start here: protdem.org/4x56ArP
Image features a poster titled "What Do Poll Workers Do?" with the "Power the Polls" logo. The poster outlines four tasks: 1) Setup and manage the polling place. 2) Greet voters, check them in, and assist disabled voters. 3) Provide language assistance to voters. 4) Hand out “I Voted” stickers and more. The bottom text reads, "Interested? Sign up at powerthepolls.org.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

Wrote about how Trump’s tantrums over the Supreme Court reveal the not so hidden subtext of what Republicans expect from the justices. Also a mention of how Supreme Court politics resemble the Calciopoli scandal. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
As is nearly always the case with the president’s accusations, this was an illuminating projection. Trump fears that public pressure on the Supreme Court can sway the justices and how they rule. So when they don’t side with him, he assumes that’s what happened, and he trashes the Court in the hope that it will side with him the next time. He views criticism of the Supreme Court much as he views laws in general: When Trump or one of his allies wants to do something, such as use taxpayer dollars for cultish campaign ads, it’s legal. When his opponents want to do something, it’s illegal
