Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Under the Constitution, states regulate elections. It's not a matter of opinion polls.

Completely wrong headline from CNN. The report from a 2006 police interview with Trump ANSWERS questions. Specifically, it proves that (no surprise) Trump is lying when he says he had no idea what Epstein was up to.
CNN should not perpetuate the lies.

So this is a headline on Huffpost:
"Republicans Condemn 'Incredibly Offensive' Trump Post About The Obamas"
Are you fucking kidding me? 3 fucking Republicans said something. 3.
Stop giving them credit for not even doing the absolute minimum. This is ludicrous.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Primary elections are when you're right to be picky and have a candidate "earn" your vote by their policies, history, stances.
General elections are for voting to keep the barbarians out.
Don't believe that, think of 2016 and 2024.
Kick the barbarians out!

Trump wants to take over voting in at least 15 places
FBI raid in Fulton County GA now fueling MAGA calls for election takeover there
That would allow them to purge voters, cut polling places, limit early voting & challenge election results. Very scary for 2026

Trump’s FBI raid could lead to a takeover of elections in Georgia’s largest county
Trump wants control "over the voting in at least 15 places.” He could start in Fulton County, Georgia.

If I were a different person, maybe I’d share some of the nasty responses I got last spring when - amid the CECOT flights - @andreapitzer.bsky.social @chenoweth.bsky.social and I put on a seminar on concentration camps. Outrage over “offensive” and “overblown” comparisons. Wish they’d been right.

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.
