I went on CNN today and said that Trump is doing it again: Just like in 2020, he’s lying about the 2024 election right now telling his supporters that the only way he can lose is if it’s stolen from him. And he’s saying this bcuz he wants there to be violence if he loses. He…

MEDIA REMINDER: Trump and Johnson are going to spew lies. Here is the fact:

18 U.S.C. §611 already makes it a felony for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.

POLITICO: “.. no other person in America — if charged with the diverse panoply of malfeasance that Trump has been accused of — would enjoy the same procedural and structural advantages that Trump has harnessed, to great effect ..”

The sheer number of Trump officials − a minimum of 16 − speaking out against their former boss, and the severity of their criticism, is highly unusual. It has no historical precedent in the last century, according to three presidential historians and a political scientist…

Those folks who say Trump is unfit and is undermining our country but then refuse to vote for Biden is like telling people that we have to stop the pyromaniac burning down our neighbors but then refuse to hire the only eligible firefighter.

Watch Mike Johnson try to walk in front of Trump and Trump tells him to get behind him. Then Mike goes to touch Trump and thinks better of it. This is a party with one autocratic strongman that everyone fears.

Johnson: I stood alongside OJ Simpson as we searched for the real killer

NBC's framing is spot on: 'Trump and Mike Johnson zero in on noncitizen voting. It’s already illegal and very rare.'

Any outlet that reports the first sentence without emphasizing the second sentence is doing it wrong nbcnews.com/politics/elect…

It was a painful decision to resign from the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, but necessary. I hope more people around the country will follow Liz Cheney's example and speak out about the threat to our democracy. Time to step up.

Read the report on checking the pardon power here: protectdemocracy.org/work/checking-…

No one power can run roughshod over other parts of the Constitution. The pardon power is no exception.

As presidents increasingly push the pardon power into untested terrain, each branch of government must be especially watchful and willing to check abuses.

We outline the constitutional tools at their disposal to prevent and respond to the pardon power’s abuse.

As examined in our report, the pardon power may be abused in at least four distinct ways:

NEW: The pardon power remains ripe for abuse by authoritarian-minded executives. In our new report, we review the constitutional boundaries of the power—and the tools available to fortify them. protectdemocracy.org/work/checking-…

Wow. A powerful, unflinching, devastating letter. But it doesn’t just apply to the Gerald Ford Foundation. What Kennerly writes here is an indictment of every institution and person who has caved in cowardice in this crucible moment. Read the whole thing: politico.com/f/?id=0000018e…

If you think Trump is an existential threat to American democracy, and then refuse to vote for the one person who can ensure that that threat doesn’t come to fruition, I think that’s a dereliction of duty to America.
