In ominous sign, Texas Republicans changed voting rules, then blocked efforts to protect voters “We can’t let a small group of conspiracy theorists set the rules for Texas voters anymore."

Texans scrambled to find their polling places after Republicans strategically refused to hold a joint primary that would've let both parties hold their primaries at the same locations.

“This is the GOP voter suppression that Dems must come together to overcome in November,” one state official said.

The subpoena passed 24-19. Bondi is coming in to Oversight. We can hold the Epstein class accountable if we are willing to cross the aisle and build a coalition of accountability.

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I've had the chance to see Murphy in action for the past 8 years. He doesn't have a brash personality like Pritzker, but he got shit done. I feel like he'd be a good complement to Pritzker. He's kinda like your nerdy dad.

Lawmakers look to bar ICE agents from voting centers With just three months left before Californians cast their ballots in the primary, new proposals in the Legislature aim to keep the Trump administration out of state elections.

"Clearly, the purpose of putting ICE in polling places or surrounding polling places would be to intimidate people," state Sen. Tom Umberg said.

Nobody's perfect. 🙂 Besides, if he's got the cojones to stand up and speak out for what's right (and from what I've seen, he does), then this is something the Democratic party desperately needs. I'm sick of handwringing and strongly worded letters.

While there is some truth to the adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", he is definitely not someone I want to see in the WH. If I had to pick today, I'd like to see Pritzker run for President with Phil Murphy as his running mate.

Who were you thinking of
When we were making love last night?
Was it a good looking stranger
Or a close friend of mine?
You didn't want to quit
When we was into it last night
Who were you thinking of
When we were loving last night?
