Marc Elias was called an alarmist for saying Trump would refuse to concede in 2020. Then came Jan. 6. “They want you to believe that Donald Trump may say some things, but in the end, he’ll accept the results,” Marc says. “I don’t believe that.” Stay in the know: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

HELL YES. We've gotta get him the fuck out of office. Check your registration online and order an absentee or early voter ballot. Those lines will be long on Election Day. If you wait until then, though, don't let it discourage you from fighting fascism.

My grandparents survived the terrible abuse of the Federal Indian Boarding School Era. That trauma wasn't isolated to the past—it was carried down through my family all the way to me. And there are so many families like my own across Indian Country.

There’s literally footage of Special Counsel Jack Smith at the Maryland game where Caitlin Clark was playing and not where GOP dirtbag Eric Schmitt said, and KKK Josh Hawley wants people to forget Mr. Smith was appointed 3 months after the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago. Their lie exploded in their faces.

Watchdog clears former US Fed chief Powell in renovation probe
The US Federal Reserve's Office of the Inspector General found no 'reasonable grounds' to justify criminal charges against the institution's former chair, according to a report published on Wednesday. The US president demands that Powell should be 'forced to resign' or 'sued, at the highest level.'

We need to focus on the fact that Senators Kennedy and Grassley participated in this charade and soiled themselves badly in the process. They need to apologize to the witness, and to the American public for their serious misconduct. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Nurses and community members are protesting in San Francisco today as part of the "People vs. Palantir" Global Week of Action. Organizers say the demonstration is focused on Palantir's work with ICE and concerns over immigration enforcement.

Fetterman is garbage. He betrays the people who fought for him when he was at his lowest point - and that fight is the only reason he’s in the senate. Now he’s actively working to raise money for Republican PACs.

Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.

It is now very clear that word was going around GOP circles that Schmitt was definitely going to take down and humiliate Jack Smith, which makes the *opposite* happening even more delicious.

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.
