#Muslim voters in #India feel targeted more and more by the ruling party and Prime Minister #Modi with hate speeches. There have been reports of Muslim voters' names being removed from the voting list and in one village in #UttarPradesh, they were even beaten up. But no action has been taken by the #Election Commission of India against these complaints prompting activists to launch a campaign against it. Navodita Kumari reports.
#Trump has a huge posse today, including #KashPatel; #GerryKassar, a #conservative party leader in NY; #BernieKerik, fmr NYPD commissioner who was imprisoned for tax fraud & false statements; #AlanDershowitz, lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment, & #BorisEpshteyn, legal adviser who was #indicted in AZ for attempts to keep Trump in power after the 2020 election.
Prosecutor #Colangelo argues “there’s nothing new at all” about their theory. The charges against #Trump are #felonies because he falsified business records to conceal another #crime. They signaled that other crime was seeking to promote his own #election "by unlawful means," in violation of state #ElectionLaw. That introduces a 3rd potential crime.
3 potential crimes, all wrapped into each of the 34 felony charges of falsifying business records.
Although France is a founding member of the European Union, surveys show Euroscepticism is on the rise in the nation. In the lead up to the EU elections, RFI looks at what's feeding the disenchantment and what, if anything, can be done to rekindle the flame.
#Trump pledges to 'roll back' Democratic President Joe #Biden’s #gun#regulations put in place by Democratic President Joe #Biden & to fire the #ATF chief during a lengthy rally speech to the #NRA on Sat, during which he accepted the influential group's #endorsement.
The address to thousands of #NRA members at the group's annual Leadership Forum in Dallas was light on new #policy, but he used the platform to urge #gun supporters to go to the polls in the Nov #election.
"We've got to get gun owners to vote," #Trump said in his wide-rangingspeech, which covered everything from his #criminal trials to #trade & #immigration over >90 mins.
#MagaMike Johnson was the chief whip for Donald Trump. #Maga Mike Johnson led the efforts to overturn our election. He is anti-choice. He blocks our border security. He lies for criminal Donald Trump. He supports conversion therapy. Mike Johnson is a deranged white christian nationalist aka American nazi.
Johnson’s insane dominionist Christian nationalism, aka fascism dictates that the bible should drive decisions in government and white supremacists will rule over you and our treasury.
After the 2020 presidential #election, as some #Trump supporters falsely claimed that President #Biden had stolen the office, many of them displayed a startling symbol outside their homes, on their cars & online: an upside-down #AmericanFlag.
One of the homes flying an inverted flag during that time was the residence of #SupremeCourt Justice Samuel A #Alito Jr, in Alexandria, VA, acc/to photographs & interviews w/neighbors.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador took office in 2018 pledging to cut down on gang violence, but killings last month reached the same historic highs as when he first started his presidency. With his tenure set to end and elections set for June 2, cartels have stepped up their bloody turf wars against one another, and residents are caught in the crossfire.

The #Republican-led UnitedStates House of
Representatives passed a bill on Thurs that would force President Joe #Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect #civilians during its war w/ #Hamas.
The #Israel Security Assistance Support Act was approved 224 to 187, largely along party lines. 16 #Democrats joined most Republicans in voting yes, & 3 #Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure.
The act is not expected to become #law, but its passage underscored the deep #US#election-year divide over Israel policy as PM Benjamin #Netanyahu's government seeks to wipe out militants who attacked Israel on #Oct7….
It's almost election season and I see so many people are finally waking up to the dilemma of consistently "voting for the lesser of two evils" has brought us. I said this in 2016 when I decided to not vote for Clinton or Trump, I said it again in 2020 when I decided not to vote for Biden or Trump.
Every single time I was derided and said, "lesser of two evils is still evil." Everyone said "settle for Biden." This is exactly what settling has brought us.
Known liar Mike Johnson, Byron Donalds, Cory Mills, Doug Burgum & Vivek Ramaswamy hang around lower Manhattan to be trumps gag order gangsters.
Gag order prohibits trump from making comments about jurors / witnesses and also from causing others to make comments about the case, jury or court staff.
Republican politicians who’ve appeared at the felony Trump criminal trial: “I see politicians running toward the sound of the sleaze because that's what their master is demanding them."
"You have to embrace the election denial, the lies, you have Mike Johnson using his position (House Speaker) to violate the gag order, to say things the Judge says, 'do not say.' You have to embrace the lies, you have to embrace the insurrection, you have to embrace the hush money to a porn star, the multiple affairs. You have to embrace the obstruction of Justice. You have to make yourself part of the obstruction of justice." "We need to remind everybody that this is not normal. This was unthinkable."
Every move Republicans make at this point is aimed at undermining our justice system.
Several members of Congress from the Republican MAGA party, have traveled to NY to defend a man who's been charged with 37 counts under the Espionage Act, crimes against the United States of America.
They've gone to undermine our justice system. They are trying to impeach Merrick Garland, the US Attorney General, by calling his integrity into question while at the same time they are calling the integrity of our justice system, period, into question.
They are working diligently, feverishly, daily to prime their people to revolt in a bigger way than they did on January 6th in an even more violent way and in an even more widespread way.
Because when Donald loses the #election to President Biden, they want nothing but a “January 6th” on a massive scale because they are not going to accept the results of the election. They've told us so.
Nothing good is happening or coming from the Republican Party. It is the criminal party.
