Claudia Goldin won the Nobel Prize in economics - as a treat, she took on volunteer role helping the WNBA players negotiate for the biggest pay increase a union has ever received - a nearly 400% raise. This is badass. wsj.com/economy/wnba-p…

It's already illegal to vote if you're not a citizen. They're trying to convince us there are droves of people who are willing to risk deportation and the abuse that we are seeing from ICE to vote illegally. It defies credulity and it's simply not true.

Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 44 states. This accounts for two victories late on Friday in Arizona!

The Republican Party is telling us, with brimming confidence and zero shame, that it intends to make it harder for its opponents to vote and easier to control the outcome of elections. They are prepared to use every tool available to stay in power. democracydocket.com/opinion/there-…

It looks like C-SPAN will air Pete Buttigieg's talk at Harvard on Monday at 7pm ET: c-span.org/event/public-a…

The long lines at airports now falls squarely on Speaker Johnson's shoulders. The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. But Speaker Johnson is refusing to let the House vote on it. If you miss your flight, remember, this shutdown is on him.

Airlines took away Congress’s perks and suddenly they found money to fund TSA. Let’s take away their healthcare and watch what happens next.

Senate Democrats had quite the week: The shoved Mike Lee and the SAVE Act into a locker and then won the DHS funding showdown. Not bad.

Toxic Christianity is witnessing horrible people do horrible things but supporting them anyway just because they occasionally shout out Jesus in between atrocities.

Democrats polling below 10% MUST drop out of the race now. We have to see who we consolidate behind without the vote splitting. This is too dangerous for the state and the country.

"God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die" 16 yr old Corion Evans was hanging out with his friends when he saw a car PLUNGE into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. 3 teenage girls began screaming for help as the car quickly sank. Evans immediately sprang into action, diving in to rescue the girls. When asked where his bravery came from, he replied "God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die." Police Officer Gary Mercer assisted Evans with the rescue, but he began to drown as well when one of the panicking victims tried to pull him under. Despite being out of breath with exhausted legs, Evans swam back AGAIN to rescue both the Officer and the 3rd teen girl. Four people are alive today because a young man put the lives of others before his own. He truly is a hero. 🎖

While you were sleeping, the Senate unanimously passed what Democrats pushed for over a month: fund TSA and other essential agencies but withhold funding for ICE until there’s substantial reform. Republicans made America suffer for nothing.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top Dem on House approps panel, says DHS is *choosing* not to pay TSA workers while paying other employees. She says: 85% of ICE + CBP are being paid 75% of Secret Service 0% of TSA workers "The Dept made that decision," DeLauro says on the House floor.

Nooooowww do you get it😜

The people who told you that immigrants are taking your jobs are the same ones developing robots to actually take your jobs.

Holy crap!! Now we have proof Republicans are putting MAGA plants in Democratic races!! "Nebraska Republicans didn’t want a fair fight against independent challenger Dan Osborn. Their alleged plan: recruit conservative anti-abortion pastor William Forbes to run as a Democrat, split the opposition vote, and protect incumbent GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts. When real Democrat Cindy Burbank jumped into the primary to stop it, the Republican Secretary of State pulled her off the ballot after his own party asked him to—claiming she wasn’t a “good-faith” candidate, since she openly supports Osborn. The Nebraska Supreme Court put her back on the ballot on Monday. The ruling was clear: Burbank met every legal requirement, and the GOP missed the deadline to object. The Secretary of State then certified the primary ballot without her on it—apparently hoping the clock had run out. But the court stepped in and ordered him to recertify with Burbank’s name on it by 5pm that day. He complied. Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb: “Republicans are so afraid of voters that they’d rather fight in courtrooms than compete at the ballot box. Nebraska Republicans should focus on earning votes, not erasing them.”" Trump’s Losing Streak Continues: Democrats Pull Off A Major Upset In Mar-a-Lago District, Court Rejects Nebraska GOP Ballot Scheme, and LA Schools Draw A Hard Line Against ICE open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/p/…

Here's what @latimes needs to report on Bianco: his alignment with the Constitutional Sheriffs movement. This ideology holds that authority flows from God through the Constitution, granting sheriffs the power to disregard laws they deem unconstitutional. Voters need that context.
