Anthony Nel has voted in Texas for almost ten years. His county mailed him a letter saying he "might not be a United States citizen." He had 30 days. His passport had lapsed. On Friday, a federal judge got to the database behind it. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/ossoff-put...

Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee Robert Garcia says Democrats will investigate the alleged pay-to-play scheme involving Kimberly Guilfoyle. “It’s just emblematic of probably what is likely happening in so many other parts of the government. People are engaged in massive corruption”

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

The Trump family is turning the presidency into a corrupt family business, and the names, the deals, and the money trail are all worth knowing. So is the roadmap for dismantling it.

Four stories Trump would rather you missed. In every one of them, somebody looked at his people and said no: a logger, a judge, a senator who read the memo, a governor who skipped his rally.

ICE has been ordered to make 3,000 arrests a day — 1,000 more than before. Secret courts in FEMA buildings. Shock gloves on agents. Nonprofit surveillance. 25 days before the midterms. This is deliberate.

Trump's deportation goons grabbed the wrong man, wrote the warrant afterward, and told the press the citizen they injured wasn't arrested. The judge who caught all three is one Trump appointed, but he didn't act like it. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/a-logger-j...

I stood on stage beside Barack Obama on inauguration night. If he'd waved off two American cities for a cheer, they'd have impeached him by breakfast. Trump did it Monday. What his crowd did next says more than he did.

We Are Not Expendable. Trump’s Congress Is.
Trump wrote off two American cities for applause. Here’s why he’ll be impeached again. Plus: a soldier’s million-dollar bill, an FBI whistleblower, and a newsroom that outlasted a Trump donor.

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

I would like to believe that these batshit crazy Trump rallies are hurting Republican candidates in the midterms, but it’s extremely rare for any broadcast network or local news to cover and air his craziest and most repulsive statements so they might not matter much.

At some point, we have to stop calling this ordinary politics. When those in power manipulate the rules, which they are clearly doing, to protect their power, death of democracies happen. Elections are supposed to determine who holds power—not the other way around. I really despise this timeline.

We need to have such a turnout that Trump won't be able to rig it. We know he's going to try. We also know that State Governments have been gaming out how to deal with his attempts. If he succeeds in stealing voting machines and rig the election, we should have a general strike. Shut it all down.

Donald Trump started a war with Iran that he said would end in about two weeks. That was more than 212 days ago. Since then, at least 19 American service members have died, and more than 800 have been injured. Dozens of US aircraft have been damaged or destroyed. See it all at AboutTwoWeeks.com.

Millions of dollars that Trump is using to support Republican candidates was donated to his PAC by wealthy fraudsters and their family members before they were pardoned for their crimes. Instead of crime victims getting restitution, Republicans got campaign cash from the felons.

Two ICE agents traveled 330 miles over one email. The man who wrote it wasn't even home. He was in Europe with his 7-year-old. So they found out which flight he was taking home.

He Told Off Trump’s ICE Chief. ICE Showed Up. So Did A Judge.
Also: Trump’s watchdog quit on 55,000 car buyers. Then Letitia James showed up. Plus the wind farm the regime tried to stop twice, and why a county’s Flock cameras are wearing trash bags.
