On a call with reporters, DNC chair Ken Martin responds to JD Vance claiming Dems only won big last night because races were in blue states. "Well that's bullshit. We won in red counties, blue counties, purple counties," Martin says. And it was all "a rejection of Trump."

I'm pissed that they're blaming women for a nonexistent "autism crisis." I'm pissed that they're lying about what autism is and that mainstream people are normalizing what they're saying about autistic people. I'm pissed that this murderous grift is continuing. I'm just pissed.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The guard in LA could be the start of a fascist power grab, yes. It could also be a massive overplaying of a bad hand by a president who had the worst week of his term, and an immigration czar who was publicly humiliated and is desperate to goose his numbers. We don't know yet.

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

SCOOP: The Trump admin plans to release the audio of Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

It’s expected to be made to the news site Axios before others were to receive the hours-long recording, the people said.

In DC:
A white protest sign being held up by the arm and hand of someone wearing a ball cap, ahead in the crowd. In green, it has the pixelated image of a covered wagon from the old Oregon Trail computer game, and it says “You have died of Republican policy.”

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled. Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.

Trump slammed for ‘covertly’ withholding FEMA funds from blue states
The Trump administration had claimed FEMA was just launching a new manual review process for allocations — a process the states showed is covertly based on Trump's funding freeze.
