Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?

Trump is actually very transparent about what he wants to do to elections. Yet the legacy media discounts him. “I have to take him seriously because that’s my job,” Marc Elias says. They want you tired and tuned out. We help you stay in the fight. Support us: demdock.com/4yDtK9W

BREAKING WaPo: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson just slammed the Supreme Court's use of its "emergency docket" — suggesting the court has misused the process in allowing the Trump admin to move forward with a host of controversial policies while challenges play out in lower court.

In a public appearance, Jackson said the high court’s use of the emergency docket was “problematic” and called for more restraint from her colleagues when using it.

These 19 election deniers and vote suppressors are on the ballot in the midterms. We should be worried
Many are running for pivotal state-level roles like governor or secretary of state that wield enormous power to undermine a fair election.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.
