Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Jon Ossoff didn’t just show up to debate Mike Collins. He owned the stage. Calm, confident, prepared, and in complete control. Collins, on the other hand, looked like he regretted showing up.

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls

Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines

The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

Thank you Heather Cox Richardson for repeating the truth about the Biden economy. I am so tired of their bashing and lies. He did an outstanding job in restoring economic growth.

"If you are watching members of this administration, they are constantly blaming the Biden administration for their own problems. And just a reminder, the Biden economy was so strong that the economist, which is NOT a hotbed of leftist ideology, let me tell you, said it was the envy of the world. That Biden had knocked it out of the park, that he had done the equivalent of a catching an egg on a plate, bringing the United States out of the Pandemic to the strongest country in the world. So, this idea that somehow Biden screwed up is just absolutely ridiculous, and certainly, almost two years into a second administration to continue to say, 'Oh it's Biden’s fault' is just ridiculous."

Trump's announcement today that he's trying to make it so farmers and ranchers can "process their own food" came directly from Glenn Beck during their interview the other day. So America now has a right-wing shock jock making our agricultural policy. Good times!

Did you know if we add four seats to SCOTUS in 2029, we could bring back the charges against Trump for January 6? They could overturn the immunity ruling and consider tolling the statute of limitations for the duration of Trump’s presidency. We could also resurrect the classified documents case.
