Reps know if they lose Congress in the midterms, accountability is coming, and some of them will end up in jail. They'd rather try to rig elections. Imagine how emboldened our Red already-election-tampering states will be too.

GEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

A federal judge said Pam Bondi’s letter to Minnesota reinforced how the DOJ is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the department’s campaign may be driven by motives that "undermine the basis and purpose provisions” of the Civil Rights Act.
Bondi’s ‘blackmail’ letter to Minnesota deepens concerns over DOJ’s voter roll motives, federal judge says
The judge reiterated the DOJ's case against Oregon will be dismissed entirely.

We repeat - there’s NOTHING radical about wanting to take the military off our streets, fair wages, science, healthcare, or to keep our kids fed, housed, and safe.

Matthew 25 tells us that when Jesus returns and judges between the righteous and unrighteous, he doesn't judge them based on their orthodoxy, their patriotism, or their individual definitions of morality.

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26

As Minneapolis labor unions support a general strike against federal attacks on their cities, it evokes the history of the Gilded Age when federal troops regularly were deployed to crush local immigrant working class communities. /1

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
