The ACLU launched its largest-ever investment in its voter education electoral program across 9 states to ensure that voters understand the critical races and ballot measures affecting abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, voting, and fair courts. Voters should pay just as much attention to the down-ballot.

Elon Musk and MAGA influencers tried to push a “BOMBSHELL” to destroy James Talarico. Then their smear fell apart under the most basic scrutiny. Now THEIR tactics are raising serious legal questions—and one admitted “public humiliation” was the goal. This backfired spectacularly.

18 U.S.C. § 592 makes it a felony, five years and a lifetime ban from federal office, for any officer to order, bring, or keep troops at a polling place. The very next paragraph protects every service member's right to vote. Same statute. One exception: armed enemies of the United States.

Then the Department of Justice did just that, issuing a sweeping legal opinion that revoked decades of federal disability policy rooted in the landmark Supreme Court ruling Olmstead v. L.C. Disabled people and their advocates were horrified.

The Talarico nonsense being spread by GOP influencers is a typical republican “scandal” - lots of BREAKING!! And 🚨 but no actual substance. If anyone from the Paxton campaign coordinated with influencers to spread these lies, people should go to prison, and Talarico should sue the fuck out of them.

Angela Paxton's ad urging voters to support the Republican ticket never says her estranged husband’s name. A Senate Republican superPAC reportedly spent about $131 million supporting Paxton in 17 days, even buying nationwide NFL airtime b/c reaching Texas viewers market by market was more expensive.

I'll have to look for The Bridge; I somehow missed it. I've seen a couple of Danish series. I've heard the original Killing was excellent. I've been off tv for a while. I will have to get back into it this winter. I imagine knowing the language made it more exciting. I HATE having to use subtitles.

Remember, during Trump’s first term he handed American military bases over to Putin. When Putin placed a bounty on American soldiers, Trump ignored it. It’s almost as if he works for Putin, and is destroying the military on purpose.
