Last I checked, America belongs to Americans. Period. But more importantly, one American disagreeing with another American’s politics doesn’t mean that either of them hate America, and it never has.

Elon returns in time to hijack the midterms just like he did the 2024 elections. There will be major distractions just like there were in 2024 but this time it will be Trump’s jackbooted thugs. Elon will use his satellites and data stolen by DOGE. Congress must STOP THEM NOW!

Note the correction that @rogerzenaf.bsky.social posted. Turns out these checks are not being as narrowly targeted as originally thought. It's still an obvious attempt to buy votes on a wider scale, with public monies, to boot. He should go to prison just for this. cc @delmarcooper2.bsky.social

"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.
