EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration quietly removed resources from a voter assistance guide that previously helped U.S. citizens living abroad determine their voter eligibility in each state. The move could make it harder for these Americans to understand their rights and restrict ballot access.

The @theguardian.com gets it right. Trump's unhinged attack against the world's top religious leader is an "extraordinary broadside" and "unprecedented criticism." Other news outlets should follow this lead instead of the absurd trump focused framing. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
Trump calls Pope Leo ‘weak’ and ‘terrible’ in extraordinary broadside

He is delusional. He is demented. He is crazy. He does not care about religion or you. In the past 24 hours he lashed out at The Pope and posted this. If you are elected, a business CEO, or a voter and you enabled this to the American Presidency, today is a great day to move on and stop him.

Trump truth social post: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.
