Trump says noncitizen voting is a widespread Democratic plot to influence elections. A Reuters data analysis reveals a far different picture: a small number of often inadvertent violations.

Shameful that DHS is trying to co-opt Norman Rockwell's images as part of its anti-brown-people, cleansing-of-America propaganda campaign. In the 1960s Rockwell created some of the most iconic paintings of the Civil Rights movement. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/a...

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted. This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

1) Pulls labor out of its decades-long reactive/disempowered stance where they imagine the most they can hope for is being gifted a decent vote. 2) Creates a presumption that being a good labor vote is the bare minimum baseline for all candidates, not the brass ring labor is reaching for
