AOC on her decision to contribute to the DCCC for the first time
Kevin Frey @KevinFreyTVRep. @AOC on her decision to contribute to the @DCCC for the first time, as first reported by the NYTimes: "If Democrats do not retake the House in November, I do not have confidence that a Republican majority would certify the results of a presidential election."
More @AOC: "The path to the majority runs through NY State. This fight has come here to our home ... It's really important that NYers, whether ... members of Congress to just ... everyday voters, take ownership over protecting the country & protecting our rights & freedoms."

When you come for Stormy
shauna @goldengateblond · 17hwhy do these deeply inferior beings keep trying to come for @StormyDaniels?
So, will the Supreme Court now intervene and unanimously restore Joe Biden to the Alabama ballot?

Alabama secretary of state says Democratic convention too late to get Biden on ballot this fall
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has notified the state and national Democratic parties that the scheduled date of the Democratic National Convention is a few days after the deadline for the party to put its nominees for president and vice president on the ballot for the general election in November.
The Republican National Convention came after the same deadline in 2020, but the Legislature passed a bill to allow ballot access. President Joe Biden’s campaign released a statement Tuesday night in response to Allen’s letter, saying the deadline would not keep the president off the ballot.
“Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states,” the campaign said. “State officials have the ability to grant provisional ballot access certification prior to the conclusion of presidential nominating conventions. In 2020 alone, states like Alabama, Illinois, Montana, and Washington all allowed provisional certification for Democratic and Republican nominees.”
Four years ago, when Republicans held their convention Aug. 24-27, the Legislature passed a bill to make a one-time change in the deadlines and accommodate the GOP.

So it's a deliberate ploy to garner sympathy and support
Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney 10mTrump says on Truth Social that it would me “my great honor” to go to jail for violating Judge Merchan’s gag order and that it will make him a “modern day Nelson Mandela.”
...he'd be more like Lyndon LaRouche who served five years in prison for fraud.
Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years. Let's make this wish come true for Trump.
Trump is such a simp to Putin that he can't denounce his endorsement of Joe Biden
...Trump elevated Putin's clumsy lie about supporting Pres. Biden to a question he should have known he couldn't respond to.
Putin's endorsement wasn't necessarily a reflection of Trump's thinking until he got the idea he was clever enough to use the cynical ravings of a murderous dictator against his Democratic rival.
So now there isn't any shield of indifference to what Putin said for Trump to hide behind. He's committed himself to confirming whether he agrees with Putin's supporting the president's reelection, as he did in that now viral clip where he said ”I agree with him, I agree.”
There's no wiggle room here. Trump didn't just misspeak. He's placed himself in controversy over not only what he believes, but what he thinks Putin believes and wants - and we all know Putin wants a Trump presidency willing to surrender not only Ukraine , but the entire NATO protectorate defending a free and democratic Europe from Russian aggression.
This isn't just the silly, but admittedly, tragically funny joke that Trump is too mentally addled to recognize what he's saying. His gaffe was about his duped or compromised determination to align U.S. interests with Russia's, at whatever cost Putin merely suggests.

My guess about why Trump and other republicans are carrying Putin's water
...I'd guess the select few who visited Moscow, including the seven Republican senators and one House member who took a surprise trip there on July 4, 2018, as well as the leading republican candidate for president meeting privately with Putin five times in office, were all summoned by Putin to review their individual kompromat files complete with videos and audio and other incriminating evidence against them.
Putin likely gathered them together in a room where he was recording them and displayed each member's compromising material in turn, then gave each a packet with everything in it, including their marching orders, then told them to gtfo.
We saw visible evidence of that blackmailing when Trump had that private session in Helsinki with Putin after the summit on July 16, 2018 in Helsinki, Finland, just weeks after the republican senators visited Moscow, and he came out looking like he'd been bludgeoned.
Trump and Putin Have Met Five Times. What Was Said Is a Mystery.

TPM:
The two world leaders have interacted face-to-face in five different locations since Trump took office in January 2017. Sometimes they’ve sat down for extensive private conversations; other times they’ve just exchanged words in full view of press cameras. More than one of those meetings have coincided with fraught moments in the federal investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Per the Post, no substantial record of any of them exists.
Foreign policy experts say that these off-the-record encounters leave the rest of the U.S. national security apparatus in the dark about how to navigate the country’s relationship with Russia, allow Russia to control public perceptions of the talks, and leave Trump more vulnerable to manipulation from Putin.
Donald Trump is a Russian agent
....it's incontrovertible and voters need to be made more aware.
