Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $275K in stocks after tariffs were announced. Interesting timing, huh? Martha Stewart went to prison for far less.

NEW: Kansas and Utah in recent weeks have passed laws that ban mail ballots that arrive after Election Day, but have been postmarked before polls close. And Trump issued an executive order claiming to ban them. All this, while GOP actions are threatening mail: boltsmag.org/restrictions...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Trump used an emergency powers law to impose tariffs — but that law contains no reference to tariffs and no president has ever used it for this purpose.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

Donald Trump has given the management of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Strategic Storage Partners, LLC, a little-known company whose "headquarters" is registered to this $1.6 million house in Franktown, Colorado. And the government is paying them $1.4 billion. Seems super shady.

PUT THIS ON BLAST: Trump’s tariffs just pushed the risk of a U.S. and global recession this year up to 60%—up from 40%, according to J.P. Morgan. THATS NOT ALL: The White House made up the numbers—Trump Math 🤡

So my new concept is this: no personnel is policy. Trump and Musk couldn't eliminate all regulatory burdens or repeal the CHIPS Act or cut Social Security benefits by congressional vote, so they're doing it by cutting the staff tasked with those priorities. prospect.org/politics/202...

Republicans in Congress are hoping you won’t pay attention to them for the next 36 hours. Why? Because they're pushing through their unpopular plan that gives tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations and leaves everyone else in the dirt. youtube.com/shorts/RZ-nl...

No executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections. It is both an unconstitutional power grab and a clear violation of federal law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Before this last election we had the best economy in the world. Inflation had started to come down. We had passed a plan to update and maintain our aging infrastructure. Don’t give me that BS that democrats didn’t have anything to offer voters. The threat to our democracy should have been enough.

BREAKING: Just 100 billionaire families poured a record-breaking $2.6 BILLION into the 2024 election. That’s 2.5x the $1 BILLION spent by individual billionaires in 2020. Now they’ve come to collect trillions in tax cuts while we foot the bill.
