Your daily reminder that MAGA is working overtime to undermine election integrity ahead of this year's midterms. The road to one party rule is paved with conspiracy, lies and intimidation.

Commercial and corporate media are failing the American people as never before.

Support independent media @democracynow.org

The Washington Post Is in Free Fall—and There’s One Person to Blame
Today’s layoffs at this once great newspaper were nowhere near inevitable. But Jeff Bezos was never committed to the paper’s best traditions.

House GOP is all in on the tyrant's effort to rig the midterms and pave the way for one party rule.

DHS is the real "threat to national security."

#AbolishICE #DefundDHS #NoKings
