Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatens states over elections
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Friday threatened state election officials with possible prison time if they don’t comply with Trump administration methods to determine whether noncitizens are on voter rolls. Expanding on President Donald Trump’s election speech a night earlier, Mullin said that the Department of Homeland Security had preliminarily determined there were more… [more]

Paralympian Democrat Josh Turek goes for gold in must-win Senate race in Iowa
Josh Turek for US Senate: Josh Turek is a two-time Paralympic gold medalist for Team USA and self-described “prairie populist” currently representing the reddest state House seat held by a Democrat in all of Iowa. The same grit and determination that helped Josh overcome 21 surgeries by the age of 12 to become a US Paralympian will serve him — and all of Iowa — well in the US Senate, but he needs our help to win back the open seat currently held by retiring Republican Joni Ernst. Will you chip in to help Josh flip this critical seat back into the blue column and send an unmistakable message to Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress that a new day is dawning in America?

Shri's $200K gift from AIPAC

LOTS OF POSTS IGNORED BY BLOGGER.....

SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT AIPAC=ANTI-DMOCRACY

CONTRIBUTIONS TO CANDIDATES!

WEALTHY ANONYMOUS DONORS FUND AIPAC = ANTI-DEMOCRACY TO BUY

ELECTIONS!

DON'T BELIEVE AIPAC! IT'S NEVER ABOUT ISSUES..JUST THEIR PROPAGANDA!

DON'T ELECT ANY CANDIDATE WHO GENUFLECTS TO $$$$!

SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO WORK FOR THEIR CONSTITUENTS!

This week, Shri joined establishment Democrats and Republicans in blocking the latest effort to stop the bombs and end the genocide in Gaza.

I'm not surprised one bit. AIPAC has spent millions defending Shri, and has gifted Shri $200K+ according to the latest financial reports. Of course he'll waste our money perpetuating chaos abroad.

Shri never worked for us. But we can end the games and elect a leader ready to fight for us, not AIPAC. Can you help us beat AIPAC and restore moral courage to the Mighty 13th by donating to our campaign today?

At every chance, Shri has proven just how out of touch he really is.

He'll vote with Republicans to enable genocide

He'll vote with Republicans to empower Wall Street and rip off working folks.

And he'll vote with Republicans to thank ICE and strengthen their ability to surveil and kill our neighbors.

Shri is using his spoils from selling us out to attack us. And we need to respond.

we have a chance to turn the page and elect a leader we can trust to deal with the biggest issues facing us. But AIPAC and the entire corrupt establishment will spend big to stop us. Can you help us fight back by chipping in today?

Friday Afternoon News Updates: Trump's War Burns Out of Control After a Disastrous Speech — 7/17/26

Trump’s OWN election fraud guy admits he's found no proof
Not even Donald Trump’s own election fraud guy could back up the MAGA cult leader's claims that votes in the last three general and midterm elections were tampered with in any way.

"Can you acknowledge that there were no votes changed in 2020?" MS NOW’s Vaughn Hill asked John Solomon, an election interference conspiracy theorist who now sits on the White House’s election task force, after Trump’s speech last night.

"All I can acknowledge is what the intelligence shows. I only know — the intelligence community has zero evidence that … a foreign power flipped the vote in 2020, ’22, or ’24," Solomon replied.

And there you have it.

Last night was truly a watershed moment in the history of American stupidity, folks. If you managed to make it through all 27 minutes of grandpa's primetime diatribe last night, we doff our caps to thee. If you didn't, fear not. Brian Tyler Cohen has got you covered. Roll the tape!

New poll shows Gina Hinojosa within striking distance of MAGA loony Greg Abbott
Gina Hinojosa for Texas: Gov. Greg Abbott has become a national figure for his astonishing mismanagement, breathtaking corruption, and shocking cruelty. He’s the man who stripped Medicaid from two millions Texans, most of them kids. He’s the man who has spent years trying to privatize our public school systems and funneled a billion taxpayer dollars into the pockets of his donors. He’s the man who refused to use state money to feed kids during the SNAP freeze. Former school board president Gina Hinojosa is running to put an end to Abbott’s depravity once and for all — and a new poll shows her within single digits after just a few months of campaigning. Will you chip in to help her take advantage of Abbott’s barrel-bottom 32% (!) approval rating and turn Texas blue?

Trump’s election speech ignites wave of furious Democratic backlash — and calls for impeachment
Donald turned the dumb up to a deafening volume last night, making one outlandish, uncorroborated claim after another, prompting swift clapbacks and calls for his removal from office by Democrats absolutely fed up with his bullshit. Is Trump laying the groundwork to reject the outcome of the upcoming midterms? Absolutely. Is there any merit to claims he barfed up last night? Of course not.

MAGA senator says Greenland needs to be saved from "radical mullahs"
We can neither confirm nor deny that the parasite responsible for the explosive diarrhea outbreak spreading across the country is also responsible for the explosive bullshit GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri is spewing in the halls of Congress. Yesterday, the white supremacist offered up perhaps the most patently absurd rationale to date for invading and annexing Greenland: marauding Muslims! Oookay.

ICE officer in Maine shooting has history of violent behavior, family and records say
Surprise, surprise. David Brouillette, the ICE agent who fatally shot 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine in front of his wife and three-year-old child, has struggled with serious mental health issues throughout his life and, according to his own family, never should've been given a badge and a gun in the first place.

According to his own relatives, Brouillette has a documented history of disturbing, violent behavior. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, including once throwing a pot of boiling water at his then wife, who was holding their young child at the time. Another relative shared a voicemail with the Associated Press from just last winter in which Brouillette told her that he thought someone should slit her throat. Seriously.

When the 37-year-old Brouillette told his ex-wife that he had been hired by ICE last year, she thought he was having another mental health episode and simply didn't believe him.

When you hear a report like this, it really makes you wonder: is ICE's hiring of someone this unfit and ill-qualified a bug or defining feature of the beleaguered agency?

Stop Big Pork's dangerous and deceptive "Save Our Bacon Act!"
Farm Forward: When 63% of California voters passed a law in 2018 to end extreme — and extremely cruel — animal confinement, the Supreme Court backed them up. So Big Pork turned to their friends in Congress to thwart the will of the people. Tucked inside the farm bill currently being debated in Congress is a deceptively named provision called the "Save Our Bacon Act." It sounds like it helps farmers. It does nothing of the sort. The industrial pork industry has never won a single ballot fight on this issue. Not in California. Not in Massachusetts. Not in Arizona. Not in Florida. Unsurprisingly, major meatpacking corporations have since turned to Capitol Hill, looking to cash in on the millions in campaign donations they've made for moments just like this. The consequences, of course, go far beyond pork. Harvard researchers found the "Save Our Bacon Act's" vague language could jeopardize more than 600 state laws, including protections tied to bird flu, livestock disease control, seafood labeling, food safety standards, and local farm procurement programs. Add your name to Farm Forward's petition calling on Congress to reject the deceptive "Save Our Bacon Act" today!

Barack Obama says JD Vance's marriage exposes his nativist hypocrisy
On the latest episode of their podcast, "Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise," Barack Obama and Malcolm Gladwell took dead aim at JD Vance's hypocritical bullshit about what makes an American an American and laid into the Trump administration's unconscionable assault on birthright citizenship in the process.

Vance, whose wife Usha is the American-born daughter of Indian immigrants, has taken a folksier approach to peddling the regime's sanctimonious nativism, but it's no less alarming or duplicitous, especially when you consider that Usha is herself a recipient of birthright citizenship.

Vance has even suggested in the past that people whose ancestors fought in the Civil War somehow hold a stronger moral claim to the country than others — a certifiably insane and dangerous thing to assert. When Gladwell pointed out that no vice president could have married an immigrant's daughter while preaching nativism a century ago, Obama jokingly responded, "Listen, hypocrisy is progress!"

Fox host Jesse Watters sparks furious backlash after joking about American soldiers raping women overseas
A few weeks ago, left-wing streamer Hasan Piker called Fox News the "pro-rape network" for its constant platforming of rapists and pushing pro-rape narratives.

Welp, resident Fox gasbag Jesse Watters proved Piker right yesterday when he began joking about how Pete Hegseth's testosterone boosters for US soldiers would lead to mass rapes by US troops overseas.

"Women on base, you better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out," laughed Watters, who should — but definitely won't — be fired immediately for this offense.

American soldiers sexually assaulting women in our imperial strongholds abroad has been a serious problem for decades, and our failure to remedy the prevailing misogynistic attitudes in our military is one reason misanthropes like Jesse Watters think this kind of talk is somehow acceptable.
