🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration illegally changed a form used by overseas voters to register and request mail ballots just weeks before the midterms, Democrats argue in a new lawsuit filed Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump admin quietly changed overseas voter form at 11th hour to disenfranchise Democrats, lawsuit says

The change is part of a Republican plan to make it more difficult to vote or outright disenfranchise a bloc of voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic, the DNC lawsuit argues.

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't. But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Donald Trump hates democracy. He hates free speech & a free press. He hates free & fair elections. He hates an independent judiciary & its duty to justice & the law. Yet he adores murderous dictators, particularly Putin. Who exactly is the enemy of the people? American voters have one more chance.
