Famously, judges who ask question like “when did you decide to do this” are happy and not at all about to order sanctions.

So executing a valid search warrant to recover stolen classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is an “illegal, partisan witch hunt” Yet when a racist president who tried to incite a race war against Somalis and called Ilhan Omar “garbage” has DOJ raid her home for this sham, it’s supposedly acceptable

POLITICAL RETRIBUTION Federal agents raided Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s DC home this morning. A sitting member of Congress who has repeatedly been targeted by Trump, now facing a federal investigation over immigration paperwork her father completed when she was a child. A CHILD.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

apnews.comFederal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources sayFederal agents have searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation. That's according to people familiar with the matter.

Mamdani drops hard truths about ICE tearing families apart and risking a five-year-old child's life while lacking any actual warrants proves this federal agency operates on fear, prejudice, and total lack of accountability.

Public servants deserve to be protected. Thousands of public servants are living, working and, in the final weeks of election season, campaigning in a state of fear. They aimed at Repub's and Dem's alike, and at a range from county clerks to United States senators.

“Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.”

— Harry Emerson Fosdick

Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick. Fosdick was a liberal protestant leader who used his platform as pastor of Manhattan’s Riverside Church and his popular weekly radio program to push back against the rise of totalitarianism in the 1930s. Fascists were consolidating power, and dictators claimed that ordinary citizens were too weak or chaotic to govern themselves. They argued that societies needed a “strongman” autocrat to thrive. This quote comes from Fosdick’s sermon, “A Confession of Faith in Democracy,” in which he argued that the U.S. did not need a dictator — it needed a rejuvenated faith in the capabitility of the common person. He argued that a political system must trust and empower individuals, rather than rule them through fear and force. Fosdick’s profound belief in the everyday citizen made him an inspiration to the next generation of civil rights leaders. MLK regularly drew from Fosdick’s writings to power his own moral arguments for equality.

Be careful what you wish for. Gerrymandering may backfire even in ruby-red states by spreading their party’s advantage a tad too thin.

It can fail when all non-MAGA voters make themselves heard.

BREAKING: A top GOP official in Texas says, "It looks like we f*cked ourselves with gerrymandering. We watered down all the red districts to steal as many blue ones as possible, and now because voters turned against us we'll lose many more seats than if we hadn't tried to cheat."Vote Blue 2026

Scientists can now estimate how much climate change contributes to a hurricane's wind speed. In the case of Hurricane Isaias, climate-warmed Gulf waters drove up wind speed by 6%. A 5% increase in wind speed results in 50% greater damage.

Factory workers are turning on the GOP due to support for Trump’s tariffs. The high taxes have been responsible for the loss of job
Add this to the price of gas, the Iran War, rising healthcare costs, and high grocery prices; blame the GOP.

Paxton took over 1000 trips during his term. Taxpayers were charged over $3.3 million for security, yet only 338 were actual business trips. Paxton is robbing taxpayers just like Trump. Vote better Texas.

Lucy Morgan was born on this day in 1940 in Memphis, Tenn. She was an investigative reporter with the St. Petersburg Times (now the Tampa Bay Times) who was feared and revered by Florida politicians, lobbyists and law enforcement for her dedication to government accountability. /1

Lucy Morgan talks on the phone surrounded by notepads, ca. 1978. Morgan was the ultimate, uncompromising watchdog of Florida journalism. Over a trailblazing 50-year career, she transformed from a rural mother writing for 20 cents per word into one of the most respected investigative forces in American political history. She proved that meticulous, records-driven “shoe-leather” journalism could dismantle corrupt political machines, rogue sheriff departments and dangerous drug cartels. She valued the truth above partisan points, commanding equal parts terror and profound respect from both political parties. Ultimately, Morgan created a blueprint for fearless local journalism. She proved that a reporter armed with absolute accuracy, unyielding integrity and deep empathy for everyday citizens can singlehandedly check the abuses of the most powerful institutions in government.
