Historian Tim Snyder compares what Trump is doing in Latin America to Soviet tactics in Eastern Europe after WWII: rig elections, apply threats, install the leadership you want. His description of Trump’s approach: “smash and grab.”

LSU found a man responsible for r*ping a woman and decided suspension was too harsh. Kendall was a freshman when a football player assaulted her in his on-campus dorm in October 2025. She went to the hospital for a r*pe kit. She filed a Title IX complaint in January.

"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.
