From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

Anyone accepting a $5,000 “GOP Dividend” from Trump for voting is looking at a $10,000 fine and 5 years in jail. It's illegal to offer, give, or accept money for voting. 52 U.S.C. §10307(c) Trump has already violated this law. But voters they will never be liable because they will never get paid.

The SEC is officially arguing that banning private equity from bribing public officials "stifles free speech." First Citizens United equated campaign donations with free speech, and now anti-corruption guardrails are being erased under the exact same logic.

Trump is hollowing out the government with a cynical style: the Department of Education survives only as a prop. Behind the façade are layoffs, shuttered services, and total inertia. A hollow showcase meant to make people believe that everything is still functioning. #ProudBlue #DV1

That’s why Trump secretly tore down the East Wing, with zero permits nor notification - knowing it illegal and could never pass through committees - thinking courts would then be forced to allow his absurd hitleresque ballroom bunker, or have a perennial hole in the ground? It’s waste, fraud, abuse.

A notorious conspiracy theorist encouraged Trump to declare a national security emergency for elections and unilaterally impose voting restrictions without Congress. Instead of saying, “No, that’s insane,” he replied, “Let me just say, stranger things have happened, OK? I’ll leave it at that.”

‘Stranger things have happened’: Trump hedges when pressed on declaring election emergency
The fact that Trump left the door open to a constitutional crisis ahead of the midterms is, to understate matters, profoundly unsettling.
