The byline is important and reveals a lot. According to this, Vance lies in felon47’s style. The description Sargent’s guest today, Michel Linden  "an economist and Democratic strategist organizing against the bill. He dissects Vance’s lies about it, explains how badly it will shaft Trump voters and the working class, and discusses how Democrats can keep the focus on it through Election Day 2026.” You can choose your podcast platform at the end of the description here. This podcast is a bit longer than normal, almost 30 minutes. Michael Linden is correct. We’re not fooled by their lies. - JD Vance’s Scamming of Trump Voters Takes Ugly Turn in Vile New Rants 

So glad to see this. The billionaire funding the no vote on redistricting in CA will lose. We’re NOT ignorant like MAGA voters. We know what’s at stake. WE are fighting back. Californians fully support voting YES on Prop 50! - CA State Senate Approves Newsom’s Redistricting Plan

This has been a long time coming. Will he be able to buy his way out of this? Allow this to sink in: “The petition as a pro-Constitution initiative, required signers to provide personal information. But according to America PAC itself winners weren’t selected by chance at all — they were handpicked, with their personal stories factoring into the decision.” The funds he’s forced to pay fired Twitter workers won’t even put a small dent into this monies. He should have to pay lots more. According to this more lawsuits against the South African are still in the works. - Elon Musk Will Stand Trial for Duping Voters Into Signing Petitions With Fake ‘$1 Million-a-day Giveaway’

This should fire us up about the Dem party with this interview, and this: “As Chair Hart explains this could be a cycle of opportunity for us in Iowa as we have strong candidates running for Governor and Senate, Joni Ernst’s very public flame out earlier this year, and 2 competitive House seats, IA 2 and IA 3.” Hart also discusses "how the terrible Trump tariffs and the big ugly’s cuts to health care are creating hardship in the farm economy." We do need wins in rural parts of red states. My tactic has been reading the text first before watching the video. It works well for me anyway. You might want to explore the link "to the DCCC’s initial 35 expansion targets for the 2026 cycle," something that may change as the maps change. One more thing before I mention the usual, those items of note Simon mentions. They’re easy to find. So we have our work laid out ahead of us. Nothing is a given. - Winning In Red States And Red Places - A Conversation With Rita Hart, Iowa Dem Party Chair

I use mail-in voting, have for years. Let this sink in: "an American president taking cues from Putin on how we run our elections” as a start. And don’t forget this though felon47 would love you, too, and instead listen to him: "The Constitution leaves no room for misunderstanding: presidents don’t run elections, states do. But Trump is once again grabbing power for himself, trying to bypass both Congress and the states in order to change the rules to his advantage.” This is fact: "Mail-in ballots are not some fringe convenience; they are a lifeline for millions of Americans. Seniors, people with disabilities, military service members serving overseas, rural voters who live hours from a polling site, and working families who cannot easily take time off all depend on voting by mail.” This is a great read. Please share it with your networks. - The Irony of Trump’s New Crusade Against Main-In Voting

My favorite in the Ossoff section is him saying Vance “has zero credibility" which has been the case long before he became the incompetent VP he is today. I laugh at Felon47 as he continues to go after members that don’t agree with him. The largest focus is the redistricting campaign Newsom has begun in answer to Texas’ illegal redistricting maps. - Ossoff Roasts Vance, Crow Versus Hegseth, Fed Board Member Defies Trump—The Resistance Is Everywhere
