Today's Top Stories:
Donald Trump FUNDRAISES off 1st ex-wife Ivana's death
The philandering, serial conman sent a message to his supporters announcing Ivana's passing — and included a fundraising link for his PAC. It's never not about the Donald, folks.
Take Action: Demand Merrick Garland punish Trump and his fans for threatening Jan. 6 witnesses!

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: FINALLY.
National Right to Life official says 10-year-old rape victim would have benefited from giving birth
Jim Bopp, the lawyer who wrote a model law for right-wing states to restrict abortion rights, declared that the ten-year-old child should be forced to give birth and said he "hoped" that the ten-year-old child would understand the "reason and the benefit" of having her rapist's baby at the AGE OF TEN.
Take Action: Tell the Biden admin to end Trump's awful Title 42 immigration policy!
Indiana's Republican AG eyes criminal prosecution of 10-year-old rape victim's abortion doctor
It's obvious that Republicans are so upset at the furious backlash their horrifying, forced-birth regime is generating that they are willing to punish anyone and everyone involved in order to silence those involved the next time a child can and will be forced to give birth.
Take Action: Tell Big Tech companies to keep abortion data away from the cops!
A mile-long procession of buses is carrying items from school shooting victims to Ted Cruz’s house
A fleet of 52 yellow school buses formed a mile-long procession to Sen. Ted Cruz’s house in Houston on Thursday morning — 4,368 empty seats to honor the number of children senselessly killed by gun violence since 2020. Cruz has steadfastly voted against every commonsense gun reform bill and the blood of those children are on his hands.
Joe Manchin rules out new climate investment, tax increases on the wealthy in new reconciliation bill
The appalling 11th-hour betrayal from Manchin, who previously had expressed support for all those things, leaves Democrats in the distasteful position of either accepting a bare-bones reconciliation deal that only includes lower prescription drug prices and a temporary Affordable Care Act subsidy extension or getting nothing at all.
Watch Richard Ojeda react to Walker's idiotic ramblings!
OD Action Partner: Our good air, China's bad air and Herschel Walker's hot air.
Secret Service deleted 1/6 text messages after House oversight officials requested them
Ludicrously, the officers are claiming that the messages were simply erased as "part of a device-replacement program." Got it.
Conservative Texas lawyer takes aim at anti-HIV medication
The architect of Texas' draconian anti-abortion law is quickly moving on to targeting LGBTQ+ people with a lawsuit to end the requirement that insurance providers cover pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) because it "encourages homosexual behavior." If anyone told you the GOP would stop at Roe, never listen to them again.
Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman expertly trolls Dr. Oz with "Jersey Shore" Cameo video
Fetterman, who has torched his carpetbagging MAGA opponent for moving to Pennsylvania from New Jersey to run for Senate, shared a brilliant Cameo spot starring Jersey Shore's Snooki with the caption: "Hey Dr. OZ 👋 JERSEY loves you + will not forget you!!!"
Not one single Republican votes for probe of neo-Nazis in military and police
America's armed forces and particularly law enforcement have been known for years to be harboring white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and yet the nation has done little to combat their influence. Now with the opportunity to do so, the Republican Party made it VERY clear whose side they are on — and it ain't ours.
Ain't that America?
All around the world
Hope...
Today’s Action: Get out the vote in the primaries!
After a break in primaries, Maryland is voting next Tuesday! We all know the biggest enemies of progress in America are Republicans, but it’s also been painfully clear that just a few bad Democrats can muck a LOT of things up for all of us. This is our chance to do something about it — to not just elect any Democrats, but to reshape the party with real progressives to advance our legislative priorities!
If you live in Maryland and don’t yet have a plan to vote, make yours now. If you have friends in Maryland, call them and cajole them to the polls! Find out when your own state’s primaries will be held, and identify your current polling place here. It is absolutely critical to show up this year — and every year — to build a truly progressive future.
Every. Vote. Matters. Check your voter registration status and polling place to ensure you’re prepared for upcoming primaries and the midterms — and tell your network of like-minded friends and family to do the same on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, at the park, in the bleachers, in the pews, at the dinner table, and anywhere else you can!
No matter how unpopular Trump and the GOP seem to be, Americans are still dealing with extreme income inequality, incessant voter suppression schemes, worsening climate change, relentless attacks on reproductive care, and the demonization of marginalized communities, because corrupt Republicans are regularly joined by a few bad-faith Democrats hellbent on the status quo. Fortunately, we have some amazing progressives running for office this year. But they can’t win if we don’t show up.
Even though there’s only one primary next week, civic engagement is still as important as ever. There are tons of virtual Get Out The Vote events happening this weekend that need your participation, including phone banking for Michigan tonight and phone banking for Georgia this Sunday. You can filter through events here, but no matter what you choose — you’re making a difference in this fight.
Every meaningful electoral victory shares a common thread: progressives turning out in full force on Election Day.
Check your voter registration status at odaction.com/vote and make sure you’re ready to do your part in upcoming primaries and the midterms to win Congress and more. Then, share away on social media!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition telling Congress to expel the Republicans who plotted with Trump, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
