tRump's strikes against Iran have destroyed the Bonji desalination plant and damaged another on Qeshm Island. Primary drinking water is now cut off for 10k-15k civilians across 20-30 drought villages. Families have no water. Targeting water infrastructure may be a war crime. How do we stop this?

President Trump knows his party is on track to lose the midterms.That’s why all this noise about the 2020 election matters. If he truly believes it was rigged,then the legitimacy of his own 2024 victory is called into question. People should pay close attention. This isn’t random. Share this Vote!🇺🇸
President Trump once again repeated the lie that the 2020 election was stolen, claiming that China and Russia carried out the largest foreign infiltration into America’s voter registration systems to help President Biden.

Election observers consider the 2020 election one of the most secure and well-administered elections in American history.

If President Trump truly believes the 2020 election was rigged, then the legitimacy of his own 2024 victory is called into question.

Voters should pay close attention. All this noise is coming from a president who knows his party is on track to lose the midterms. Voters should see this for what it is.
