This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
WIN: A Wisconsin court blocked state laws that discriminated against absentee voters with disabilities in violation of the ADA. Pro-voters argued that the state's current system, which requires absentee voters to fill out and return paper ballots, limits disabled and elderly voters' choices.
NEW: Missourians sued to put their bid to strike down a GOP gerrymander on November’s ballot after the state’s top election official declared the effort unconstitutional. Voters have fought nearly a year to put the gerrymander to a statewide vote, but the GOP has thrown roadblocks at every turn.
“If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and *wife* and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:26
Kyle GriffinMike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
Showing up is one of the most powerful things you can do 💪
kmhutchExactly - people need to show up and be vocal. It matters.
NEW: The Michigan Senate matchup is poised to be one of the most closely watched races in November. As such, Trump wasted no time in spreading false claims of mail voter fraud, laying the groundwork of a voting conspiracy to lean on if his election-denying candidate of choice loses.
In WSJ's ticktock of the Pirro flipflop, they reveal Pirro was PAYING AUSAs $25K bonuses. To stick around. 👀 Given pretty clear GJ misconduct laid out in Davey Hearn's response to the MTD, that looks really really suspect.

I am LOVING the full on freakout Christian Nationalists are having about Abdul El-Sayed being muslim!!!
General Bone Spurs McRapist: “Hey you guys—whoever you are—-did you know that ‘draft dodger’ has a D in it? Most people don’t know that.”
Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Donald Trump used up all of our long-range missiles to drive up our gas prices. What a genius!
NEW: Experts recommend electronic poll books, a secure method for tracking voter information, for every voting site as they are a "vital tool in election administration." All but three Minnesota counties use them, but one city is suing over unfounded claims the software isn't secure.
EMERGENCY!!!!!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Says Trump's moneybags. Tomorrow he has to turn over the financial information that has been obvious since he decided to sue on the basis that factual reporting harmed his net worth. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
As a Michigan voter who is grateful as fuck I wasn't in the state for that Senate primary, I think this deserves more attention: Jocelyn Benson has a MUCH easier route ahead of her than it looked like she would in January. MUCH easier. And that's going to help unify the party.
Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
