Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

"Pro-Trump activists who say they're in coordination w/the WH are circulating a draft EO that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a natl emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting

It'd empower Trump to ban mail ballots & voting machines"

Kamala Harris: When this guy is talking about the economy is roaring…

Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people

The thing that bugs me about Jeffries is he rarely makes the value proposition: e.g.,β€œif you give us power again here’s the legislation we will introduce on day one to unspool all of this.”

All of us are capable of providing commentary on Trumpβ€˜s manifest failures.

Wolfers: What we have is a pro-tax Republican president. Maybe he favors this tax because it’s regressive β€” it takes a bigger chunk out of the paychecks of the poor than of the rich. Maybe he thinks he can baffle us with bullshit and pretend China is paying, but that’s a story people aren’t buying

How MAGA learned to love Christian persecution Their "faith" has become a weapon of white nationalism.

"The Christian ethic regarding foreigners is clear. But the sad irony is many of the same white Christian nationalists who believe biblical tenets should supersede the Constitution are eager to subsume their faith to the siege mentality of an oppressive government." β€” @schaller67.bsky.social
