🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

Ken Paxton wanted 1 day served for years of rape of a child. A judge intervened and ordered 60 days. Paxton loves pedophiles and hates puppies. #Talarico

When they lied about policy or statistics repeatedly or tried to shift blame elsewhere they fooled a lot of gullible people. But when they started lying about things that even the cult knows more about than these out of touch weirdos, that’s when they lost the plot.

Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.

Not so sure Republicans want the Dobbs decision back in the spotlight like this as the Midterms approach…
A screenshot of a CBS News post on X with a black background and white text. At the top left is the CBS News logo and verified account name, “CBS News @CBSNews,” with “X.com” in the upper-right corner.

The post reads: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, required ‘courage’ from all of the justices in the majority.

‘We didn’t know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications,’ he said.

He told CBS News’ @JanCBS that he lost friends over the Dobbs decision. And he called physical threats and harassment ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘a danger for the courts.’”

Below the text is a large video still from the CBS News interview showing Justice Samuel Alito seated indoors. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and dark red tie, and appears to be speaking while looking slightly to his left. A small CBS News logo appears in the upper-left corner of the video frame.
