🎉 WIN: A state court has upheld Delaware's permanent absentee voting law, which allows certain voters to automatically receive an absentee ballot for any eligible election. Republicans filed the lawsuit in August seeking to restrict access to mail voting in the state for the midterms.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Presidents have a duty to uphold the law and serve the people and this president just doesn't get it, or more precisely, doesn't care. It was never about the country or its people for him.

Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.

Trump’s bid to blackmail SCOTUS into giving him the tariff powers he wants regardless of the law is really a bid to get the case rerouted to the Court of Claims while he keeps violating the Constitution and laws of the United States. I wouldn’t bet against him here. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
