There are a lot of powerful people trying very hard to convince us that Gavin Newsom is somehow inevitable. 😑

"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a U.S. attack, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution, the four people said."

MBS is as predictable as Bret Stephens.

Pennsylvania, please come collect him πŸ™„; he serves no purpose in the Senate except to gaslight that he's still a "Committed Democrat."

And Schumer won't do a thing.

Just days ago, we found out that Trump is circulating an executive order claiming that China interfered in the 2020 election as a pretext to declare a national emergency and ultimately to declare extraordinary presidential powers over voting.

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The federal government stopped New Mexico in 2019 from continuing to investigate Jeffrey Epstein and his Zorro Ranch.

Today, its legislators and its Attorney General are seeking the truth.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

Really don't understand how this isn't a bigger scandal. This is conspiracy to commit federal witness tampering (and likely witness murder) for the purpose of covering up a foreign government's deal with organized crime, a deal that has been affirmed by the DOJ.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New β€” I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Exclusive: Read the draft executive emergency order for Trump to take control of elections Lawyers and legal experts explicitly said that such an order is blatantly unconstitutional.

This leaked draft executive order is completely illegal and unconstitutional.

If Trump and Congressional Republicans do not immediately distance themselves from this outline for an executive power grab over our elections, it is a five-alarm constitutional crisis.
