Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

Four weeks ago: Trump floated the idea of canceling future elections
Three weeks ago: “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election”
Yesterday: “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting”
But it’s not just rhetoric: all of this has come against a backdrop of concrete action.

“Republicans ought to nationalize the voting”: Trump eyes radical power-grab
Those concerned about democracy don’t have the luxury of simply shrugging with indifference to the president’s latest conspiratorial nonsense.

Well this is very interesting about Bannon's "The Movement."

10/ Notice how Epstein mentioned money needed for the think tank proposed by Bannon. I think it’s reasonable to wonder who financed “The Movement” launched by Bannon later that year.

Capgemini to sell US subsidiary providing services to ICE
'Legal constraints' prevented the Group from controlling the operations of its subsidiary, which has a contract with the much-criticised US immigration police ICE, Capgemini said, leaving them no alternative but to sell.

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is:
The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

1. Trump can’t federalize elections and he knows that.
2. That doesn’t mean he won’t try, so what are WE going to do when he inevitably does?

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering.
Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!

This hasn’t received nearly enough attention:
Republicans just passed a law to pack Utah’s Supreme Court after it ruled against their congressional gerrymander.
Cox could appoint two more justices before the court hears the GOP’s latest appeal to preserve their gerrymander

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Inside ICE’s Surveillance Tool Kit
ICE is now the most well-funded law enforcement agency in the country—and it’s spending that money on powerful surveillance tools. From facial recognition and phone tracking to spyware, data brokers, and drones, ICE is expanding its tech arsenal under Trump’s mass deportation push. Technology journalist, Jacob Ward joins Ali to discuss what these tools do, how they work, and why critics warn that these tools infringe upon the privacy and free speech rights of immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
