New records show ICE investigators gaining access to voter files in two counties

The host points out that despite the rhetoric coming from the White House and tRump there have been only 100 cases of non-citizen voting in 43 years.  That is an incredibly small number.  But the tRump administration wants to decide which citezens can vote and who can not.  It is minority rule over the majority, it is single party rule like in dictatorships such as China.  It is the end of democracy.  All so tRump and republicans can stay in charge so the wealthy can raid the treasury and the entire wealth of the country leaving the people as slave labor to the upper class.  Hugs

New reporting from Axios offers a window into just how far the White House is willing to go to pursue baseless claims made by President Trump for years. The group Democracy Forward obtained new records showing ICE agents went directly to local officials in Texas and North Carolina to obtain voter files. “We need to be very vigilant and we also need to be outraged,” says Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward. “It’s going to be incumbent upon every single American to make up their mind that we’re not going to have our voices silenced.”

‘Real men serve others’: Talarico fires back at ‘Low T’ attacks in exclusive sit-down

 

Texas Democrats have spent decades trying to flip the state blue. Now, Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico says this may be their best chance yet. In a wide-ranging exclusive sit-down with The Weekend’s Eugene Daniels, Talarico responds to President Trump’s attacks on his campaign, Republican efforts to make masculinity central to the race, and why Democrats think Texas is in play. Talarico also responds to attacks from Republican nominee Ken Paxton and shares his own definition of what it means to be a “real man.”

THE CENSORSHIP GETS WORSE | Armageddon Update

Trump’s Iran Ultimatum Explodes in His Face | Armageddon Update

A bunch of clips from The Majority Report on a verity of subjects

In this on Sam and crew show clips of tRump talking sexually about other world male leaders and make jokes about tRump’s sexuality.   They also mention how he rambles disjointedly and his dementia seems worse.  Hugs

 

 

 

Emma and Ken discuss the new memorandum on terrorism that targets activist, protestors, and people who post online.  It is an attempt to stop people from expressing a negative opinion of the tRump administration and the horrific actions they are doing.  They talk about how the administration really believes that just talking badly about ICE actions is doxing them and any doxing is terrorism.  The administration feels that no one has 1st amendment rights and that anything done to protest the administration is terrorism.  The fear it inspires is discussed along with the cost incurred by the defendants.   Hugs

 

Sam and Emma are talking about how the tRump administration is using the FBI to attack and interfere with democratic voting groups who work to get voters to the polls, raise funds for democratic candidates, investigating civil rights some times with out warrants showing up on the doorsteps of volunteers implying they had committed a crime.  The agents are demanding publicly sometimes in front of family members that people answer questions, give them communications, the agents are on fishing missions and intimidation.  As Brian says telling people about an election is fraud.   Hugs

 

I post this last one by Matt Binder filling in for Emma and Sam showing how Riley Gaines will say anything for money and just how stupid she really is.   She has made money hand over fist using her hatred for trans people get right wing contracts and show deals talking about any talking point the right wing wants to push and emphasize.  Hugs

This Has The Entire Establishment Terrified…

Three things I love in one video.  I really enjoy The Majority Report, I love why they have Digby on, and I am very supportive of Platner’s progressive anti establishment corporate democrats policies.  As Digby says the party is much more left today that it used to be since the 90s and the center is much more right than it was.   She says we have to push back hard against the push to the right that the establishment cooperate democrat’s leadership has made.  Hugs

The Right’s Anti-LGBTQ Hysteria is Now Indistinguishable From Satire

While I detest the end song he plays I love Mark’s take on issues.  He doesn’t pull his punches and lays out the facts.  In this case it is important to watch to the end where he elaborates on the current attempt to genocide trans people by making them illegal as Russia has.  Now requiring that no business, event or medical facility that takes any government money can allow any kind of support or positive affirmation of trans people.  He talks about how important it is to let trans youth socially transition and live as the gender they identify with, and to get puberty blockers to not go through the wrong puberty.  He mentions trans children figure out their gender the same way and ages that cis kids do.   Hugs

Panic over the existence of LGBTQ+ people is becoming so ridiculous it’s almost impossible to tell if it’s satire or not. In this video we’ll look at some of the most ridiculous examples of right-wing hysteria over queer people. Well also talk about how conservatives have successfully weaponized their outrage against queer people and how culture influences politics.

The Republican Front-Runner for Maine Governor Is Completely Unhinged

 

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles is one of the leading contenders to become Maine’s next governor, and his recent comments should alarm anyone who values evidence, competence, or basic reality.

Charles has suggested he would personally counsel women out of having abortions, claimed transgender identities are impossible because of Noah’s Ark, repeated the debunked “litter box” conspiracy theory about schools, and embraced a culture-war agenda that seems ripped straight from social media misinformation.

Yet despite these bizarre remarks, he’s a serious candidate with a real shot at winning the Republican nomination.
