This guy has been doing everything he possibly can every day to use his position of SecDef to tamper with the midterms, from speaking at Republican campaign rallies, to giving partisan political speeches to troops, to this. Do all federal employees get a day off to vote?

Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Trump’s reckless tariffs. Costly boondoggles that are skyrocketing costs for Main Street while Americans’ paychecks lose ground. Trump is more focused on golden ballrooms and helipads instead of making life more affordable for workers and families.
US job growth slows, easing pressure on Fed to hike rates before midterms
Employment gains last month came in below expectations, with previous estimates revised down.

4. According to new reporting last night by MS Now, the text messages from 2024 from Smith's team that Eric Schmitt presented at Tuesday's hearing were provided by the US Department of Justice, which is to say, by US Attorney General Todd Blanche. www.ms.now/news/eric-sc...

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.
