What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenโand it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.

RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper.
He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%.
(And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)
This man cheated on his wife with his aide, who later committed suicide by burning herself alive. The fact this is even a run-off...

New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.
When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I know Trump very well. He repeatedly says that he's going to run for president again. I don't think he's joking. I really want to know what is his mental state is.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenโand her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy
Itโs the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up
The courts have become complicit in this effort
What weโre seeing in Texas now is a disgrace
Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
