Mother of Herschel Walker’s child says he paid for her abortion
Herschel Walker's disastrous campaign to join the US Senate took yet another serious hit when news broke that the mother of one of his children — a woman he has obviously known for years — said the MAGA liar lobbied and paid for her abortion in 2009. Great look for the GOP's Mr. Family Values!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: President Biden caught on hot mic for best reason
The president let slip a little profanity while surveying the damage in Florida from Hurricane Ian — and the supporter he was talking to absolutely loved it.

OPEC makes deep oil output cuts sought by Saudi Arabia and Russia
Our so-called allies in the Middle East rebuffed President Biden's requests and instead slashed two million barrels a day in a move that could hike oil prices right before the midterm elections — and deliver desperately needed funds to help fuel Russia's flailing war machine. It's clear when it comes down to it, the authoritarian Gulf states will always side with other authoritarians who DON'T ask questions about certain human rights violations or certain journalists being carved up like Africa in the 1880s — and they're not afraid to use their economic leverage to punish Democratic presidents who ask those questions. Perhaps an alternative arrangement should be made.

Court declares DACA program illegal, but leaves policy intact for nearly 600,000 immigrant "Dreamers"
A three-judge panel for the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals — including two Trump appointees — concluded the Obama administration did not have the legal authority to create DACA in 2012. They thankfully left the policy in place for the more than half a million Dreamers but slammed the door shut in the face of anyone else brought to the US as a young child. The Biden administration vowed to fight the ruling, which would ultimately send it to the Supre- OH NO.

Detailed log of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago docs seemingly released by accident
Information on some of the 200,000 documents seized from the criminal ex-president appears to have accidentally been posted on the court docket — they include a potential pardon for a convicted Taliban supporter, legal bills, and tons of handwritten notes.

Appeals court expedites DOJ challenge to Mar-a-Lago special master
The disgraced ex-president's ongoing attempts to thwart the DOJ's criminal probe into his classified doc scandal took another hit yesterday, when the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals expedited the department's request to shut down the ridiculous "special master" review of the 11,000 documents Trump obviously and illegally stole.

Right-wing dating app prompts users to share incriminating details about January 6
The first reviews of the recently launched “conservative dating app” The Right Stuff are in — and things aren’t looking so good. Of the 197 reviews currently posted in the iOS store, nearly 60 give the app a one-star rating, with complaints like "it's all dudes" and "the FBI showed up at my house after I bragged about participating in January 6th." It's unclear whether or not these are truthful or trollful, but either way, this has all the makings of yet another disastrous Peter Thiel investment, like Blake Master's Senate campaign.
Amazon suspends 50 workers who refused to work after warehouse fire
In a disgustingly flagrant show of retaliation at its only unionized warehouse, Amazon suspended 50 workers who refused to go back to work after a fire broke out in the building. “The issue that people had was the building still reeked with smoke, it was difficult to breathe at some workstations,” said worker Connor Spence. “We wanted to be sent home with pay because it was unsafe.”
Russian hackers knock US state government websites offline
Russian-speaking hackers claimed responsibility for knocking offline state government websites in Colorado, Kentucky, and Mississippi, among other states — the latest example of apparent politically motivated hacking following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Today’s Action: Join the January 6th Justice Activist Call!
Over the past year, the House select committee investigating the January 6th attack on the US Capitol has more than proven that Donald Trump and his allies conspired to overthrow American democracy and stop the certification of Joe Biden’s resounding victory in the 2020 presidential election. The far right has also been caught time and time again trying to sabotage future elections through racist gerrymandering and other unacceptable tactics. It’s critical that every single progressive knows what part they play in protecting our democracy, and that starts at the local level.
There’s no need to feel overwhelmed or defeated by the right-wing playbook when we can band together and take action. Democracy Resolutions and Our Freedoms Our Vote are hosting a Justice Activist Call every Thursday until the November midterm election to help citizens take action at the local level to defend our democracy and protect our sacred right to vote. If you can spare an hour, sign up to attend today or next Thursday at 4:30PM EDT!
We must hold the perpetrators and conspirators of the deadly insurrection on January 6th accountable and protect future elections from their nefarious influence. Join the fight today! The more people like you fighting for our democracy, the better.
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition demanding Congress enshrine abortion protections into law, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
