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.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

This is such an important story.👇 Opponents of President Donald Trump’s dangerous executive order restricting mail voting say there’s a simple motivation behind the scheme: Democrats vote by mail more than Republicans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Democrats use mail voting more than Republicans. That’s why Trump is attacking it

In 2024, 37% of Democrats reported voting by mail compared to 24% of Republicans, according to the MIT Election Data and Science Lab.

Trump sacrificed security in order to be able to fly around in a symbol of his corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

Mr. Hunter would not name the more complicated security upgrades individually because they are considered classified. But other government officials have told The New York Times that this more complex work includes advanced missile defense systems and hardening of the plane’s wiring to protect it from an electromagnetic pulse, in case there is a nuclear strike. It is unclear whether such work was done to the Qatari jet.

“In that time they had, they would be able to accommodate communications upgrades,” Mr. Hunter said, referring to vital security equipment that allows a president to be in contact at all times. “But not anything that would require significant structural work.”

Mr. Hunter added: “To do a full Air Force One equivalent upgrade does require structural modifications.”

Judge Amir Ali dismisses alleged pipe bomber Brian Cole's bid to be covered by Trump's pardon w/o much work. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The pardon says that it applies to “individuals convicted of offenses related to events that
occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” 90 Fed. Reg. at 8331. Even
assuming that the conduct Cole is charged with is “related to events that occurred at or near the
United States Capitol on January 6, 2021,” the pardon is expressly limited to people who had been
“convicted of offenses” related to those events. Cole had not been convicted of the conduct at issue
when the President issued the pardon; indeed, he was not charged until many months after the
President’s proclamation. See ECF No. 1
