Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

Google the video & see for yourself.

This is not law enforcement. This is murder.

Sickening.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:

If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.

And he should be.

Opinion: Our petty, hollow, squalid ogre in chief Opinion: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.

“What more is there to say about the character of this petty, hollow, squalid, overstuffed man? — sometimes the point bears stressing: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.”

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

We all need to fight Trump's plan for voter suppression and election subversion. We need to recognize that it has multiple dimensions. We need to educate ourselves and our communities and then take action.

Trump ordered a show of force on Oct 18th, directing the military to fire rockets over a California highway to intimidate US civilians. A rocket malfunctioned & detonated, damaging JD Vance’s security detail. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's decision to close the highway saved lives.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

International embarrassment.

"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."

How every blue state can counter new GOP gerrymanders For many, fighting fire with fire won't be easy, but it's always possible

How can *every* blue state fight back against new GOP gerrymanders? Our new special report

We don't just cover a handful of states, and we don't settle for vague answers. We explain *precisely* how every single blue state (and a few purple ones) can take action.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

In other words: we are paying for the tariffs

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Of course they did.👇

Weakest 3 months of job growth since 2020.

BREAKING: Trump says he’s firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics—because he doesn’t like the latest jobs report and revisions showing his cratering economy. The numbers were bad, so naturally, he’s blaming someone else and demanding loyalty over accuracy.

TACO is imploding the value of the dollar on purpose so he can make a fortune for himself in crypto.

This is what happens when you elect a self-serving narcissist.

This WILL end very badly for the U.S. economy.

This admin is already cooking the books to make it look like things are remaining

Kelly: And there are a lot of people in D.C. who’ve forgotten what this symbol truly means.

So I promise you—we will remind you every day.

You say you stand with veterans—then how can you justify the cuts you’ve made at the VA?

You've been conned.
