Here is Donald Trump on Friday instructing his supporters to vote for Leigh Wambsganss in the Texas State Senate special election in Fort Worth. TX-9 is a ruby red, +17 Trump district. She should've coasted to victory. She lost by 14 points.

Any attempt by this administration to mess with our elections will make the massive protests we’ve seen so far seem small and paltry in comparison.

There is very likely going to be a blue wave in November 2026. Trump will do what he can to disturb the election and stop Rs from losing the House. It probably won't work, but the probability of a tail outcome is worrisome, and the attempt is the story

YES‼️ DEMOCRATS, KEEP THIS UP
House Republicans wanted to pass a funding bill using a fast-track process called suspension of the rules. That method skips normal procedures but requires a big bipartisan vote, usually two-thirds of the House, around 70 votes.
House Democrats told them no.
