#Democracy has declined recently. It has happened before.
There were phases of autocratization in the 1930s, 1960s and 1970s.
The declines were reversed. Citizens fought back, and pushed democratic rights to new heights.
How will we do it again? ourworldindata.org/less-demo…

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia?
Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

In NV, DOJ said it found 16K noncitizen voters. When NV asked for a list, DOJ sent 185. NV checked those and found all of them were actually citizens.
In CA, DOJ first said it found 190K noncitizen voters. Now, it says 20K. Told CA officials they had 48 hours to check, then sued
.@USAttyEssayli for @USAO_LosAngeles to @FoxNews on the complaint against California over its voter list: “When we're telling them you have 20,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls, you're going to be diluting the votes of American citizens. Their response is, ‘It's too late; we already mailed the ballots.’ That's not how the law works, and we're going to go to court. This is a matter of law…All we are asking them to do is sequester the ballots.”

🚨 BREAKING:
Schiff: "In the past, the President was convicted in the case I prosecuted of falsifying business records, partly for tax purposes."
Blanche: "That's not what he was convicted of."
Schiff: "I'm happy to read the statement of facts for the participants who took steps to misrepresent the true nature of payments made in furtherance of the scheme for tax purposes."
Blanche: "That was someone else."
Schiff: "Well, if the President conspired with others to falsify business records to help them evade taxes, he also exposed himself to legal liability. You know that as well as I do."
Blanche: "He can't be held accountable for that."
Schiff: "Of course he can. Of course he can, and he can be prosecuted for it."

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office:
The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation.
Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable.
But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.
The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.
We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.
The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

Someone should tell these hacks at DOJ that seeking to deprive citizens of the right to vote under color of law is a violation of the law.
New: The Justice Department is escalating its fight with California, warning that local officials who tabulate or process ballots from suspected non-citizen voters are at risk of investigation and prosecution, per letter obtained by @AP. More here:

When you’re applying for the job of U.S. Senator, you should show up for the job interview.
Ken Paxton showed up in London on the 4th of July to party with the British.
He showed up in Dubai to party with fugitives.
He’ll show up anywhere but a debate stage in Texas.
Israeli settlers beat Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine. She said attackers picked her up, then threw her down again and kept kicking.
They operate with impunity. We need to cut off aid to Israel that is used to fund settler activity, and stop the sales of these weapons.
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks.
Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

“At a time when Donald Trump’s party is struggling to hold both houses of Congress and his own approval ratings are cratering to historic lows, the President has been campaigning hard all week against . . . Volodymyr Zelensky,” Susan B. Glasser writes. “Yes, Trump’s October preëlection surprise is that he’s finally decided to begin openly helping Vladimir Putin in Russia’s war of conquest against Ukraine.”
“Trump has pivoted to Putin so many times before that it should hardly astonish anyone that he did it again,” Glasser continues. “But these crises that Trump provokes with such regularity always manage to reveal something new, and this one has been no exception, showing a President so politically cornered by the consequences of his war in the Middle East that he turned to Putin to help him out with less than three weeks to go before the midterm elections.” Read her latest column: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/y7…

First, they offer no evidence to try to block 20,000 ballots from being counted. Now, the Trump Administration is threatening California election officials with criminal investigations without any legal basis.
The Constitution gives states the authority to administer elections — not Donald Trump. California won’t be bullied, and every eligible voter has the right to vote and have their vote counted.

The Supreme Court is losing respect in the eyes of the people because of its naked partisanship. We need reform - and now is the time.

AMAZING! Republican election officials denied NC A&T campus an early-voting site. Students marched about 45 minutes each way to vote ANYWAY!
Put up barriers to voting, and don’t be surprised when people get angry, get organized, and bring even MORE voters to the polls!
