🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration illegally changed a form used by overseas voters to register and request mail ballots just weeks before the midterms, Democrats argue in a new lawsuit filed Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
Trump admin quietly changed overseas voter form at 11th hour to disenfranchise Democrats, lawsuit says
The change is part of a Republican plan to make it more difficult to vote or outright disenfranchise a bloc of voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic, the DNC lawsuit argues.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

After a donation, Trump intervened to let Live Nation-Ticketmaster off the hook in its monopoly trial. After Bezos buttered him up, Amazon got a slap on the wrist for allegedly tricking people into Prime accounts. After cutting business deals with them, he pardoned crypto felons. See a pattern?

Republicans want us to memory-hole everything Trump did in 2020 while dragging us back into the same tired 2020 culture wars: Fauci, Wuhan, vaccines, communism. Why? Because it’s now 2026, they broke the country, and desperately need a distraction to reinvigorate their base.

The website still says 14. One of the service members not being counted is Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad from Queens. She was married to a woman she met in the Army, and one of our podcast listeners pointed out that fact was not acknowledged at a recent memorial service. So I am acknowledging it here.

Trump's tax cuts gave the top 1% $117 billion while middle income families pay $900 dollars more. Republicans voted for this. They're not making mistakes - they're making choices. And those choices hurt working families. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

ICE hides flight info because if they can get detainees to detention hubs in the south before lawyers and family can locate them, they face harsher courts. But jurisdiction doesn’t change until the flight lands. That’s where this tracking tool comes in. 1/ gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

I urge folks to remember that there is effectively no oversight over the Pentagon come 2027 and 2028, as the chances of active-duty military interfering in domestic politics skyrocket. Pete Hegseth is a profoundly unwell man—as is Donald Trump—and it is clear that there are no checks on them at all.

Having used the shadow docket to halt maps favorable to minority voters because elections were approaching, it would be indefensible for the Court to refuse to apply the same standard now—when voting has already begun in Louisiana and is days away in Alabama. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...
democracydocket.com
The Supreme Court called it chaos then. What does it call it now?
The shadow docket has grown in scope and importance in a range of areas of the law. But none has been as important or as overlooked as the area of redistricting.
