Yes Trump is already cheating. The question is what (besides voting) can we do in response? Sen. Gallego had an excellent idea: if/when Trump steals our votes, we grind the economy to a halt w a non-violent, persistent general strike. “There is no economic stability without democratic stability.”
'Grind the country to a halt:
Democrat urges national strike if Trump meddles in midterms
In wake of Donald Trump's call for Republicans to 'take over' voting, senator Ruben Gallego urges citizens to take a stand and give the 'ultimate response'
David Smith in Washington
Thu 5 Feb 2026 23.37 ESTOn Thursday, Gallego, a senator for Arizona and an Iraq war veteran, warned that Trump could seek to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress - and urged citizens to fight fire with fire.
"We have to prepare for the outmost scenario, the worst scenario, which is they try to either capture the ballot box as ballots are being counted, they try to stop the count, they try to surround polling places, whatever it is," he told the Court of History podcast with political historians Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz."If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that and, more importantly, the richest and the most powerful people in the world and in this country need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability. If you take away our democratic stability, we will take away the economic stability."

If you wonder whether might Trump might cheat to keep the Rs in power consider that this ad campaign he is running, with our tax dollars, is brazenly illegal. He's already cheating in the election, and we should expect far more in the days ahead.

As @joshgerstein.bsky.social noted, Judge Cannon has stricken an 18-page motion for clarification of its gag order by 5 subpoenaed former FBI agents, alleging that they failed to "confer" with DOJ. At left is what the former agents wrote about attempts to confer; at right Cannon's order.
Undersigned counsel have diligently engaged in a good faith effort to resolve this
issue without court intervention. In response to concerns raised by undersigned counsel, DOJ indicated it would not proactively seek clarification and instead asserted that its work "does not disturb" the Order. DOJ failed to provide any factual explanation or legal authority to support this
assertion. Nor did DOJ provide an explanation for how this position could be reconciled with its prior position, described below, that testimony by a former government employee in response to a subpoena about non-public information would violate the Order. DOJ instead advised undersigned counsel to "simply file [for] whatever relief you [] deem appropriate," adding that it "will answer accordingly." Upon a separate request for clarification of its position as to the relief sought by this. motion, DOJ indicated it "take[s] no position" on the relief sought "and will respond accordingly."PAPERLESS ORDER striking for lack of conferral 806 Motion to Intervene and Seek Clarification of Court Order. S.D. Fla. L.R. 88.9(a). Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 10/1/2026.
