On the one hand, Trump's approval ratings are at an all-time low, voters everywhere are furious about high costs + Dems have the edge in key battleground races. On the other hand: “I think we hold the majority of both chambers,” said Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio). www.huffpost.com/entry/republ...

WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

Tennessee has had two failed executions this year. The death penalty should be abolished. Christa Pike wasn’t afraid to die. She was afraid they would screw it up and make her suffer. Which is exactly what happened. We shouldn’t allow the government to kill people.

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here -- not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.
Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.
