With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to:

1) Help get out the vote.
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference.
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism.

We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party.

Seems like it should be a story?
Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

As Kamala Harris warned:

“World leaders think that Donald Trump is an easy mark—easy to manipulate with flattery or favor. Autocrats like Putin and Kim Jong Un are rooting for him in this election.”

Trump’s interviews today about the passing of Graham made one thing clear, again, as he immediately promoted the “save” America act:

He is incapable of compassion.

He made it all about…. Himself.

He is a empty hollow “man”

Listen to the judge at Tina Peters's trial give a searing condemnation of her crimes and behavior in Court. Compare this to what Polis is trying to spin today, in order to justify the bended knee to Trump and his shortcutting of the judicial process:

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism.

That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight.

If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too.

But please do not fall into cynicism.

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power.

We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

"The Republican apologist class will go on producing the long, articulate, disqualifying-in-what-sense replies that history will read with the same grim clarity it reads the German conservative intellectuals of 1933"

this is very good:
Ben Shapiro on Sam Harris conceded the liberal case against Trump — corruption, coup, dictator-talk — then explained why he'll vote Republican anyway. The most clarifying interview I've read in a year, not about who you'd think.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
