Whether it's Hillary Clinton sending emails to her staff saying "please print" or Donald Trump sending letters to Jeffrey Epstein alluding to child rape, both candidates sent some questionable messages to people that they knew.

This is not "de-escalation"—this is state violence. The actions being taken are far from calming the situation; instead, they exacerbate tensions and demonstrate a disturbing disregard for human rights.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election.

If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

The left says Trump is eroding America's democratic norms. But America never had any democratic norms, because it has always been a Republic.

“Trump’s attack on elections has only just begun…We must protect them at all costs. If we succeed, we will likely survive this dark period with democracy weakened but intact. If we fail, we may not have a democracy to come home to,” Marc Elias writes.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

News just broke that the Venezuelan boat that Trump struck was not, in fact, headed to the U.S. with drugs.

But this story is disturbing for other reasons, and you need to know why. It's another sign of Trump's growing lawlessness. And it's bad counter-narcotics strategy.

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.
