Ohio is in play, North Carolina is in play, Maine is in play, Nebraska is in play, Iowa is in play, then there is Alaska. I believe Texas is already decided. Would be nice if people in Florida stepped up to vote, but typically not the case. Remember, democrats need five states to flip because Pennsylvania with Fetterman is now on the path to changing parties.
Every time I hear about a department of justice lackey failing, flailing in a courtroom with a judge that asks valid questions, I always come back to what the judge should say to this fake lawyer. Where did this lawyer get their license? And, when I refer you to the bar for an ethics investigation for the case in front of the court, how does that look on the lawyer's resume when the DOJ starts its purge in 2029?
I'm still very concerned about voting by mail across the country. Not an option where I live, but the current head of post office has made it clear he is willing to do whatever Donald wants. What's to stop them from simply trashing all the mailed vote that come through, or worse yet, opening them to check who the votes are going to before sending only the "right" ones on?
Drop boxes are usually outside Board of Election buildings. So staff take the ballots inside each night. The (one) drop box in my county has a 24hr surveillance camera filming the activity.
That's a federal offense no matter who does it. Would they want to go to prison for Trump? There's no guarantee he'll pardon them if they're caught and they'll still have legal fees to pay.
One can only assume that some of his cult members don't think any further ahead about consequences than he does. Who knows? Holding tension until January (and beyond?) is not doing me any good.
Thank you for kinds words. I try, but it's hard. I'm blessed/cursed with a high level of empathy, and I simply *feel* all of this more than many folks do, sometimes physically.
Harris, please know I too am in the full of empathy/sympathy mode of being. I have that strange capacity to jump into action when needed and later find myself a bundle of fear and anxiety. To some extent sharing thoughts here on Scott's Substack and a few others seems to help. I think it lets me know that there are still many fine people in our country! And around the world! :-) One of the people I have come to rely on for settling my nerves here on Substack is a British yoga instructor who puts out weekly little things to do that help! She is always a good email to find, with both free and paid subscriptions. No need to do anything but listen for a few minutes and feel better. You can look for her at 'Jo from Yoga for Tired People', here on Substack.
If anyone is still expecting the midterms to actually happen, trump is already spreading lies about a “rigged election”! He has threatened sending both ICE and the National Guard into the streets around the polling stations! He is threatening to declare an “emergency” to “delay” the election. He is hunting for any excuse to keep the midterms from happening!
Scott, I think Maine is in play. Collins has stayed too long at the party. She refuses to do town meetings and often refuses to answer reporters’ questions while in public. Her vote for Kavanaugh knowing he’d probably vote to overturn Roe v Wade is another negative for her.
Not only ask why, but for what purpose? Nothing but surveillance and persecution of individuals. We are now in a fascist country. It is not coming…it is here.
Thank you from central Texas; I do all that I can & although I’m confident, I’m so disgusted that I can’t think about the criminals in office & the ones in the Supreme Court! If the bad people were Democrats, we’d have riots in the streets. I’ll never forget all the hate & crimes against innocent humans & this time the Democrats in office must finish their job & prosecute everyone of them. I’ve lost respect for the DNC!

Thank you for supplying all of the important links to sign! I have signed all!
Thanks Pamela!
This is what it looks like when people refuse to look away.
None of this happens without this community.
Thank you for making this work possible.
We are not done — not even close.
As Scott says, onward!
Yes!
The threats only work when we surrender. Love that!
Exactly!
Meanwhile Target had been going through a rough time 😏
I haven't shopped at Target once since they caved.
Me either!
And I quit Amazon at least 18 months ago. An old phrase from The Depression
might fit the idea of 'quitting Amazon,' if doing so seems like going 'cold turkey.'
----------------
Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, Or do without.
----------------
Similarly, our apparent addiction to apps of unending variety is likely
far more wasteful than it is beneficial. And you can't use the
'saves time' reason when justifying them. Convenient is the
'thin entering wedge,' but it's also the lid to 'Pandora's Box.'
AMAZON is not the cheapest and don't protect their employees.
WE always check out EBAY where many are just individuals.
After the BEZOS WEDDING, won't go there!
WE have 2 church-run THRIFT SHOPS that are bargains!
(One church provides the local FOOD PANTRY space.)
People pass away and families clean out homes!
Kids outgrow clothes and toys - the best REUSE and RECYCLE!
WE also have several great SALVATION ARMY STORES - but they don't take
all donations - great source for FURNITURE!
They're always first to step up when families loose their homes.
:)

Thank you Ellen!
The truth must be told and you do it each and every day
Who needs coffee when Scott brings the news like this - WOWIE!!
...re: your questions:
________________
Alaska is in play. What other states feel more likely
to flip than they did a year ago?
-------------------------
-------------------------
TEXAS. And we Texans need strong, CAPABLE leaders,
not sycophant boot-lickers
________________
A judge asked the DOJ what they needed 17 million people’s
files for. They had no answer. What would you have asked them?

What is your next job going to be?

Stop killing the wild horses. Close the loophole too, where they are sold cheap, then resold to be killed.

Harris please let the tension go. It is not helping and it is not doing you any good. Let it go and know WE are in this fight together. :-)

Use available drop boxes for mail-in ballots.
Who transports the ballots?

Don’t let him do it!
We need a letter about the mustangs!

Thank you Scott for providing so much important information and the ability to send letters to our representatives!
If I were the Judge I would have asked the DoJ “What is wrong with you what you want is blatantly unconstitutional! Read the Constitution!”
