I recently heard historian Robert Kagan say: “What's at risk right now is literally our democracy in the sense that I don't think Trump is going to allow free and fair elections in 2026.”
My job is to fight in court to prove him wrong even while I fear he may be right.

Trump tells Norway the reason he's stealing Greenland is that he's so butthurt they didn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Norwegian government has no control over the decisions of the Nobel Committee. Also, Greenland is a province of Denmark, not Norway. 🙄

I mean, if Jennings is going to do that to Walz, do it right back. You could easily say, here Jennings is admitting that MAGA is really "into insurrection"!
Quite an admission.
After all, that is exactly how he's "quoting" Walz.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.
