It's an all hands on deck moment. Lawyers need to do their job to protect elections. Courts must do their job to ensure the law is followed. And, voters must make sure they have a plan to vote and turn out.

Donald Trump lied when he said there are 280,000 noncitizens registered to vote in 4 states. He is saying this to threaten states to turn over their voter rolls to the administration and agree to remove the names of people Trump doesn't want to be able to vote.

Donald Trump cannot cancel elections but he can try to make it harder for people to vote and easier for the GOP to cheat. That includes misuse of the federal government and inciting his MAGA mob of election vigilantes. We need to be ready to send up and protect elections.

GOPers were shocked when Trump declared he wants mass voter suppression rather than passing a bill on housing costs. But they were only shocked because he said this openly, screwing *them.* On the pod @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is so good in dissecting this moment: newrepublic.com/article/2123...

Trump Blurts Out Plot to Rig Midterms So Vile It Even Shocks GOPers
As Trump’s demands for voter suppression get so absurd that even Republicans balk, the author of a piece on his narcissism explains how he’s royally screwing them in the midterms—and himself, to boot.

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.
