Report and lawsuit showing voting machines tampered with and voting anomalies suggesting Kamala Harris would have won a fair election.

m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

Were votes miscounted or ignored in key counties?
In Rockland County, New York, several voters testified under oath that their ballots didn't match the official results.
Senate candidate Diane Sare reportedly lost votes in precinct after precinct:
• In one district, 9 voters claimed they voted for Sare, but only 5 votes were recorded.
In another, 5 voters swore they supported her, but only 3 votes appeared.

It wasn't just third-party candidates who
saw odd results.

It wasn't just third-party candidates who saw odd results.
In multiple Democratic-leaning areas, Kamala Harris's name was reportedly missing from the top of the ballot entirely.
Voters said they couldn't even find her name to select. These same areas had high support for Democrats like Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, yet Harris received zero votes— a statistical anomaly that defies traditional voting patterns.
Even more shocking: Donald Trump received 750,000 more votes than
Republican Senate candidates in these districts. As reported by Dissent in Bloom, a political Substack,

"That's not split-ticket voting.
That's a mathematical anomaly."

Salt Lake City and Boise adopt official pride flags to skirt Republican bans! 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🏳️‍⚧️🏴‍☠️

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#resistfascism #transally #lgbtq

Earlier this year, Utah and Idaho’s Republican-controlled legislatures passed bans on flying the rainbow pride flags and other “unofficial flags” on government property.

Leaders in both states’ capital cities, Salt Lake City and Boise, recently devised an inventive workaround – changing their official flags.

Salt Lake City’s mayor, Erin Mendenhall, proposed the adoption of three new city flags, which were unanimously approved by the city council. All three have the city’s traditional sego lily design, respectively imposed over a pride flag, a trans flag and a Juneteenth commemoration flag.

“Our city flags are powerful symbols representing Salt Lake City’s values,” said Mendenhall in a press release. “I want all Salt Lakers to look up at these flags and be reminded that we value diversity, equity and inclusion – leaving no doubt that we are united as a city and people, moving forward together.”

TOPLINE The White House took aim at Amazon on Tuesday after the e-commerce giant reportedly prepared to directly display to consumers the price increases associated with President Donald Trump's tariffs, sending shares of the Jeff Bezos-founded retailer downward.

“If they use the current accounting process, they have no chance of making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, BECAUSE THAT WOULD REQUIRE PAYING FOR IT… GOP leaders argue that extending Trump’s expiring 2017 tax cuts shouldn’t be treated as costing any money“-Republican fiscal IRRESPONSIBILITY plain as day

What we should see is a big X where each party’s vote would have a roughly linear relationship. The precincts at the left side of the chart are strongly D-Party precincts while those at the right are R-party precincts. This logical visualization provides a clear depiction of partisanship trends.
