North Carolina peeps, please contact your elected officials and ask them to do audits using hand recounts!! I’m sure you want your vote to have counted in the 2024 election and to be counted in the midterms, so it’s important to act now!

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Absolutely crucial point here by Greg Sargent. When we don’t call propaganda what it is, we co-produce it, and hasten disaster.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

During the last "No Kings" protest, MAGA didn't have much to say. But they're so worried about this coming Saturday's events that they've labeled peaceful protesters as paid terrorists.
Show up because you love this country. And, no, George Soros won't cut you a check, despite what MAGA liars say.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Fascist and authoritarian movements rely on misinformation and fear to gain power. We must actively counter their lies, propaganda, and scaremongering with verifiable facts.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.
