🎥 NEW: Weeks before the midterms, election deniers on Georgia's election board quietly asked the DOJ to intervene. Marc Elias unpacks the letter — chock-full of excuses — and how their request could advance Trump's longterm goal of controlling how the swing state's votes are counted👇

Fun facts: Chris Rufo’s grandmother was an Italian immigrant who, I’ve heard from a reliable source, never learned to speak English fluently. Rufo’s wife meanwhile is an immigrant from Thailand. And the director of the Manhattan Institute who employs him? The son of Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh

Remember death panel allegations?!? They’re straight out culling the herd now be refusing vaccinations, taking people off Medicaid and food stamps, making premiums higher, stopping clinical trails and other research, cutting programs and funding, etc. It’s thinly veiled eugenics.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Democratic socialism reforms through elections. Communism nationalizes ownership under one-party rule. Fascism fuses corporate power with a strongman, a flag, and "law and order." This graphic puts the three side by side. Read the actual columns before you argue about the labels.

David Axelrod: All the signals are flashing red, the latest being POTUS's summary dismissal of the remaining Federal Election Assistance Commission members.

Put that together with political hack Pulte's odious appt as DNI; election deniers in the most sensitive oversight positions; Trump's exec order on mail-in voting, and potential use of the Postal Service as a weapon of subversion; his pathological prioritization of the SAVE act, which would be the most powerful voter suppression tool in generations; and his persistent, unfounded claims of election fraud, which he uses to justify extraordinary federal interventions.
On the square, the GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump's unpopularity.

So he's setting up Plan B--do whatever you need to do to win.  Anything.
Anyone who says "Well, he wouldn't do THAT" hasn't paid attention.  He's already proven he will!

So the period AFTER the Midterms may be even more turbulent than the run up to them.

The courts are going to be very busy this fall.
