President Trump has taken a wrecking ball to our democracy while refusing to do anything to end the shutdown and stop millions of Americans’ health care premiums from doubling.

FLAG: The Trump admin says the Justice Department will monitor polling sites in California and New Jersey ahead of the Nov. 4 election, following requests by Republican officials in those states.

Democrats call the move an obvious attempt at voter suppression.

"This is extrajudicial killing. In American domestic law, that's called murder," says @becingber.bsky.social on #ILW2025's "Legality of Military Strikes on Drug Traffickers" Panel.

Boat strikes put US service members in legal jeopardy:

"Some junior officers have asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general or JAGs, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes .... It does not appear that such memos were furnished, said one of the people."

Trump’s America: Thousands of furloughed federal workers in Hyattsville, Maryland waiting in line for food.

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

The Department of Homeland Security created a new job — “deputy assistant secretary for elections integrity” — then gave it to a known election denier. We debunk her false claims:
