Today, a group of House Dems is launching a new task force to fight Trump's "dystopian" policy plans if he wins in Nov.

“We have to mount the resistance in real time," said Rep. Jared Huffman. "If we’re caught off guard by it, we’re going to be too late." huffpost.com/entry/house-de…
Huffman is very, very concerned that most people don't realize what Trump is planning to do if he gets back into the White House. And how quickly he can act.

"I believe we’re really close to having our democracy replaced by a dystopian, right-wing theocracy," he told HuffPost.
Trump's policy agenda includes deporting 11M people, banning abortion pills nationwide and deploying U.S. troops against American citizens.

They’re not strictly his plans; the Heritage Foundation provided him with a 920-page “Project 2025” blueprint that he intends to follow.

NEW: Leonard Peltier, the Native American rights activist the U.S. govt put in prison ~50 years ago, is getting what may be his last chance at freedom.

FBI director Chris Wray says the bureau remains opposed to his parole.

His statement is full of holes. huffpost.com/entry/leonard-…
Things to know about Peltier's case.

The U.S. govt put him in prison after he was convicted for killing 2 FBI agents in a shoot-out on a S.D. reservation.

There was never evidence he committed a crime.

The FBI + U.S. Atty's office never did figure out who killed those agents.
Peltier's trial was riddled with misconduct.

Prosecutors hid key evidence.

The FBI threatened and coerced witnesses into lying.

On the second day of the trial, a juror admitted she was biased against Native Americans but she was kept on the jury anyway.

Morning! ☕️

ICYMI: In a full-blown conspiratorial rant, Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) said Donald Trump's felony conviction is proof that Democrats are akin to Nazis taking power in Germany in the 1930s huffpost.com/entry/derrick-…
“The historical references and the similarities, the similarities to what the Democrat Party has been doing, they cannot be denied at this point," Van Orden claimed. "You simply cannot deny them.”

(You can.)
Van Orden also compared Trump to someone enduring the Soviet Union’s gulag system because he's a convicted felon now.

"Every single person that was sentenced to decades in the gulag and died there, committed suicide ... was convicted by a court in the Soviet Union."

JUST IN: The Senate just confirmed Nicole Berner, a longtime SEIU lawyer and former Planned Parenthood litigator, to a lifetime federal judgeship on a U.S. appeals court. huffpost.com/entry/nicole-b…
The final vote was 50-47.

No Republicans voted to confirm Berner. Not even the two GOP senators who identify as pro-choice, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
Progressives are chalking up a win with Berner's confirmation.

She's a 17-year lawyer for Service Employees International Union, most recently its general counsel.

She was a staff attorney for Planned Parenthood.

She's fought for all kinds of civil rights issues in courts.

Morning. ☕️

ICYMI: Biden's historic Muslim judicial nominee Adeel Mangi may not have the votes because 1) the GOP has spent months falsely casting him as an antisemitic, anti-cop terrorist sympathizer and 2) a coupla Dems are cowering.

Ugly, ugly stuff. huffpost.com/entry/adeel-ma…
The attacks on Mangi have been so offensive I can't believe this hasn't gotten more attn.

For starters, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton + Josh Hawley demanded in his Senate hearing that he share his *personal views* on 9/11, the Oct. 7 attack in Israel + the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
A Leonard Leo-aligned judicial group ran attack ads against Mangi -- a seasoned and award-winning civil litigator in NJ -- saying he is “radical” and an “antisemite."

The ads use footage of the 9/11 plane crash, overlaid with an incredibly misleading headline about Mangi. Image

Not sure what's more insane, the fact that 1) someone set up a GoFundMe to raise $350,000,000 for Trump because that's how much he owes in damages for decades of fraudulent business practices in NY or 2) it has raised more than $80K. Image
The person behind this GoFundMe effort is Elena Cardone, who @lizskalka just wrote about.

She is married to get-rich-quick guru Grant Cardone, whose firm has been accused of overhyping his investment fund and luring followers into expensive contracts. huffpost.com/entry/kari-lak…
@lizskalka Also, as several folks have pointed out on here, Elena Cardone's GoFundMe campaign violates GoFundMe's terms of service. Image
