As Trump demonizes cities, remember this: Residents of "blue" states send more tax money to Washington than they get back in federal help, while residents of “red” states send less money to Washington than they get back in federal help. Just thought I should point that out.

Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans. “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.” Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed. Reporting from my local news…

An unusual ruling in Florida last week could raise questions about the constitutionality of the sweeping voter suppression measure being pushed by the president. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could a new court ruling undermine Trump's favorite voter suppression bill?
It’s unclear how a federal proof of citizenship law would pass constitutional muster if a federal ban on noncitizen voting could not.

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

With Orban going down and MAGA appearing to be collapsing in on itself, things were looking up for democracy. AfD winning in Saxony-Anhalt was a setback, but it’s just one German state. Brazil heading for a Bolsonaro restoration really stings. Shows that this global struggle will go for a while.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Unless poll results translate into actual votes, polls don't mean a damn thing. It is VITAL that voters vote Democrat up/down ballot in overwhelming numbers. Make sure you have a plan and backup plan to vote. Vote early in person or by mail if possible. Don't only rely on voting on November 3rd.

NEW: The Trump DOJ plans to send roughly 1,000 federal personnel to polling places this November — and hasn't disclosed who they are, where they're going or what they've been told to do. The NAACP is now suing to force DOJ to turn over the records, citing fears of voter intimidation.
