Inside Trump’s Effort to “Take Over” the Midterm Elections When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held. But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would l...

As Trump plots to take over the midterm elections, he has gotten rid of the federal guardrails that stopped him from overturning the 2020 election, hired two dozen election deniers, and empowered MAGA extremists.

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger:

I didn't know that this was included in that voter suppression bill they've tried rebranding ...save act. Call Senators. Call them every damn day to save Democracy!

Civil rights chief’s social media post may undercut DOJ case in Fulton County ballot seizure Dhillon has repeatedly used her platform to publicize department activity, often revealing more than intended.

NEW: The DOJ may have put its foot in it on social media — again.

A post from Civil Rights head Harmeet Dhillon is now being used as evidence against DOJ’s recent seizure of 2020 election ballots from Fulton County.

They argue the probe may have been used to circumvent slower-moving litigation.

Trump’s melting down because allies won’t sign up for an offensive war he started.

No Article 5 for wars you start.

And right under it, an ad asking, “Do you blame Trump for increase on gas ?”

Motherhood derails women’s academic careers — these data reveal how and why Mothers in academia take on considerably more childcare-related responsibilities than do fathers.

Studies have reported that women in science face ‘motherhood penalties’, such as lower wages/fewer promotions than men.

Mothers saw a significant decline in their chance of getting tenure than if they hadn’t had children.

Fathers were largely unaffected.

Ice agents

1 Just passed through security at La Guardia. ICE entirely doing security! 100% of ID and identity checks done by ICE…Truly icky and dystopian. Some thoughts.

You can thank Trump.

I have this rule that I will never backpack or camp in a place named after an apex predator. Beartooth Wilderness? No way. Cougar Mountain? Why would you? Grizzly lake? Fuck no!

It feels like if I were ever to be attacked and die there, it would become a joke. “I don’t know what I expected.”

‘Counsel apologizes to the court’: In biggest mistake yet, DOJ blows filing deadline in voter roll case, begs court’s forgiveness “We would expect the U.S. Department of Justice to know how to properly file a lawsuit in federal court,” Hobbs’ office said.

The DOJ begged the court for forgiveness after it blew a deadline to properly serve Washington’s secretary of state with a lawsuit seeking state voter registration records.

The department appeared to make a similar error in its lawsuit against Massachusetts.

Please stop posting these ICE agents without their parents' consent.

Hi. This merits impeachment. Almost everything he does merits impeachment.

Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.

The Trump Administration’s “Disturbing” New Legal Strategy to Prosecute Border Crossers Is Taxing Courts and Testing the Law One man, who admitted he had entered the U.S. illegally and was ready to be deported, sat in jail for 40 days over unfounded allegations of trespassing on military land. The Justice Department keeps p...

In New Mexico, judges began throwing out military trespass charges against border crossers as soon as they were filed for lack of probable cause.

Prosecutors used an unusual legal tactic to resurrect the counts in more than 1,600 of these cases.

A Kremlin loyalist suddenly turned against Putin. A day later, he was in a psychiatric hospital. — NBC News Ilya Remeslo's online criticism of the Russian leader was an unusual airing of public dissent, but the story took a dramatic turn when he stopped posting.

Remeslo wrote that Vladimir Putin has wiped out his opposition, and that anyone who has dared to speak out is either in exile or dead.

And now Remeslo has been exiled to a psychiatric hospital and is as good as dead.

"Regardless of who's in office if they make promises, they'd better keep them. We've been lied to and we get upset." MS NOW airs compilation of Maga voters and Independents complaining about Trump's handling of gas, Venezuela, immigration and campaign promises.

Record deaths in US immigration custody expose systemic failures Families, advocates and lawmakers say poor care, opaque investigations and bureaucracy leave deaths unexplained

This is the as yet underexposed scandal at the bottom of the immigration initiative, b/c it’s still out of sight. It’s also at the core of the administrations relentless push to deny bond to detainees, even as courts have ruled against them some 7000 times.

REPORTER: Today you're voting on trans sports issues. Other than the president wanting this in the bill, why wedge this in here?

THUNE: Those are issues that are overwhelmingly supported by the American people

Having health insurance, being able to afford rent and buying groceries are also overwhelmingly supported by the American people

Not to mention abortion, gun control and protecting Social Security

Yet somehow, Republican only include provisions which support bigotry in their legislation
