What would you do if you found out a January 6th domestic terrorist was running for a seat on your city council or state legislature?

For thousands of Americans, that question has stopped being hypothetical.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

BREAKING NYT:

The top super PAC for Senate Republicans is canceling all the remaining ads it had booked in North Carolina as of Friday — shifting away tens of millions of dollars in a move that signals that Republicans no longer see a path to winning the state this fall.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett.

All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

NEW: A New Jersey GOP official allegedly targeted Democratic voters' eligibility over residency discrepancies while leaving Republicans untouched.

Now, the ACLU is threatening to sue unless election officials stop the effort — which risks disenfranchising those voters before the midterms.

At the center of the controversy is George Gilmore, who holds two influential positions in Ocean County. He chairs both the county Board of Elections and the Ocean County GOP.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives.

Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.”

Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
