Trump's latest election claims aren't really about 2020. They're about creating a pretext for what comes next. He's done this before: invent a crisis, then claim extraordinary powers to respond to it. This time, the target is your vote.

Trump's New Election Conspiracy Isn't About 2020. It's About November.
Donald Trump has only just discovered that foreign countries—well, actually, just China—try to influence our elections.

Another execution
Our local newspaper, The Portland Press Herald, has lifted their paywall on coverage of the ICE shooting of a man in Biddeford, Maine this morning. They have excellent reporters and will have much more accurate information than natl news as we learn more:

Exactly. Graham was a weak & selfish man who cared more about sitting at the popular table than doing his job. Just because he is now dead doesn’t negate all the wrongs he did to our country
He literally screamed at Sen. Feinstein and every Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, during a live televised hearing, in order to advance the Kavanaugh nomination and curry favor with Trump.

Refusing to speak ill about the dead does not require lying about the dead.

When it inevitably comes out that McConnell hasn’t been conscious since his collapse on June 14, let’s all remember that the Senate Majority Leader and Whip said they’d talked to him the day after he got CPR and that he was “engaged” (both of them used that exact word!) and would be back soon.

Obama: "As algorithms keep feeding us a steady stream of distraction and outrage, as only the loudest most extreme voices get attention, fanning our prejudices, appealing to our basest most tribal instincts, it's tempting to give in to cynicism and even despair, to stop trying."

New: We've been tracking reports of ICE activity across Chicagoland for five weeks. In that time, rapid responders have seen an escalation as feds have abducted dozens, caused at least two car crashes, threatened community members with weapons and flouted state courthouse protections.

Why the ever loving hell do they need scaffolding above the name?
June 13, 2026 at 3:24 AM
It’s 10:45 D.C. time and a crowd of people are still gathered to watch the name come down. You can hear the crowd cheer on the workers as they build the never ending scaffolding. This is why we will win.
