Trump said "I don't rule anything out" when asked about potentially invoking the Insurrection Act to place troops at polling locations (federal law makes it a crime to put armed troops at the polls). He's going to lose the midterms, he's a desperate man, and all he's got to offer is "we'll see."

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

Fascism depends on silence, fear, obedience, and the belief that resistance is pointless. Resist anyway. Speak when silence is demanded. Organize when isolation is encouraged. Defend the rights they tell you are expendable. Democracy survives when people refuse to surrender it. #Vote 🌊

Trump reported 1,051 trades in his June disclosure. These two stood out: — June 18: Bought $250K–$500K in Boeing, the same day the Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract — June 23: Bought $15K–$50K in SpaceX, the same day NASA recorded a $425.6 million award to SpaceX
