🎥 NEW: Trump last week took his 2022 lawsuit against Marc Elias and Hilary Clinton, who he accused of racketeering, to the Supreme Court. For years, Trump has attacked Marc for being a bulwark against his baseless election fraud claims — but Marc has never backed down and he won't start now👇

NEW: Federal agents raided Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of an investigation that reportedly concerns her immigration history. The move, which comes weeks before she faces reelection, marks a departure from longstanding DOJ guidance meant to keep federal law enforcement from influencing elections.

Federal agents raid Democratic congressmember’s home weeks before Election Day, despite DOJ rules against political interference
DOJ’s rules caution prosecutors and agents against taking actions that could affect an election — or even create the perception that they are doing so.

New in PN: Trump wants a race war. Minnesotans won’t take the bait. "They genuinely don’t understand how whites could care for immigrant communities in their midst and they’re going to keep trying to drive a wedge. But Minnesotans will do what they do: take to the streets to protect our neighbors."

Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

The question is what we are going to do about it. Will we try to hide and hope it doesn’t affect us? Or will we stand tall, and act? It starts with fighting in court and speaking out. Also with voting this November.

The TV companies that took our tax money should send it back to the Treasury. It's stolen money. They have no credibility opposing gov't propaganda if they keep it. They should eat their mistake. But the end result here is that Trump still got free-to-him, taxpayer-funded ads.
