To be fair, the announcers weren't entirely wrong about th Eagles limiting our run game. They just failed to acknowledge the cost (which then showed up in the biggest way possible)

ProPublica dropped the first story in a new series on corruption in Congress, and it starts with Sen. Susan Collins. A defense contractor illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins PAC. The company’s CEO later pleaded guilty to unlawful campaign contributions.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

This needs way more attention. The U.S. Postal Service has built a new system that could effectively turn USPS into a gatekeeper for mail-in ballots. Here are the details on how it is supposed to work.

Only 100 days to go until the midterms. The organizing we do over these next 14 weeks will determine whether we secure our strongest check on Trump’s power or descend further into fascism.

Last week, the House came within one vote of passing a War Powers Resolution aimed at stopping Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Now it looks like we have that vote, but we need to make sure every Democrat is on board. Email your representative before tomorrow’s vote: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...
Andrew Solender on Bluesky: “NEW: Rep. Jared Golden, who has been Democrats' lone holdout on Iran war powers resolutions, tells @axios.com he plans to vote YES on the next one.

'It's past 60 days," he told me. "The administration could come to Congress and try to push for authorization."

Vote expected tomorrow.”

Yesterday, the House passed the GOP’s new voter suppression legislation modeled on the SAVE Act. Let’s be clear: This series of bills (which would end registration by mail and add new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering) is unlikely to pass the Senate.

NEW: A growing choir of conservatives is urging Senate Republicans to kill the filibuster to pave the way for bills that would impose strict photographic identification requirements on the right to vote, potentially disenfranchising millions of eligible, legal voters.

Will Republicans kill the filibuster to pass Trump’s voter suppression bill?
Trump can rail against Senators who vote ‘no’ on a bill, but he can’t threaten to primary them when there is no vote on a bill.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
