I got my mail in ballot here in Texas and it was missing the inner envelope that keeps your vote private. I contacted contact number and they said just mail my ballot in the outer security envelope and that the vendor didn’t include them. Makes it convenient data for next redistricting

At exactly 0 times in my entire adult life have Democrats in Congress done what's actually necessary to hold Republicans accountable. I'm hoping this streak will be broken starting in January. But it's easy to see why Republicans think they can just keep getting away with it.

In her last hours as DHS Secy, Noem's agency bought 5 planes from a donor at markups. In all, DHS gave $900M in contracts to that donor’s companies during her term. One plane had electronic bidets, 2 bedrooms, bar, wine chiller, a manta-ray skin table. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

Every day more instances of disgusting & blatant corruption revealed as our money is being plundered by the Trump Crime Family & their cronies. Do American voters care anymore about corruption? I guess we’ll find out soon because it’s just staggering with this crew of criminals.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.
The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

There are plenty of smoking guns for well over half the current cabinet and advisors to invite legal scrutiny. But with Vought the illegality seems directly in our faces. Even things he's advised are legal are unbelievably dubious.
Trump was eager to see the laudatory ads on the air and told Russell T. Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to come up with the money from within the government, the people said. Mark Paoletta, the budget office's counsel, and Will Scharf, the White House counsel, both said it would be legal to use D.H.S. funds. The president and Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, both spoke with Markwayne Mullin, the homeland security secretary, about the ads.
