New filing by SPLC suggests FBI opened its investigation based on a letter sent to Stephen Miller in Aug 2026 from Liberty Counsel, Moms for Liberty, TPUSA and other rw groups—complaining about their inclusion in the Hate Map. The incident report cribs from the rw activists letter repeatedly.

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

Mail-in voting is under attack. Here's what you can do
The USPS is proposing a rule that would require states to share information about voters who request mail-in or absentee ballots for federal elections.

asked about high housing costs and why he won't sign the housing bill, Trump immediately pivots to ranting about "communists" and says, "this country is not going to have communists" (in other words, rigging elections for Republicans with the SAVE Act is more important to him than housing)

A new leasing model enables you to "subscribe" to solar panels on your roof for a minimum term of *three years*. After that, if you want the company to remove them for free, they will. Low upfront cost, low commitment. Interesting times.

Column | The advice about rooftop solar panels is changing. Do this instead.
The end of federal tax credits for rooftop solar and flexible new subscriptions have changed the pros and cons of leasing versus buying.

The terror spreading across the country this a.m. because in some more progressive corners of the US progressives won elections is telling. The reason the reaction is so over-large is because progressives unlike centrists and the right, are the only group who pose a real threat to established power.
