I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo stating: “The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips. Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons. Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection. This is how bribes work.” Below is an image of Donald Trump sitting across from the Emir of Qatar in a formal meeting room. Text overlay: “Quid Pro Presidency.”

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

Yesterday it was the ‘I LOVE HITLER!’ in Young Republican chats.

Today it’s SWATIKAS in Republican Congressional offices.

These are NOT coincidences.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?
