No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

2020 “Stolen Election” claims are ricocheting out of control again in GA. It’s time for leaders to admit what’s true and what is not. And remedy the serious problems that in fact did happen.

2/ To be clear, we are not fans of hand counting for 1st official count. But audits and recounts must be done by hand count to ensure machines are not mis-programmed. The election officials will probably claim that the rule prevails, but it does not. The statute does. Candidates should insist.

Fascinating, Pete! If the county ran the election, the recounts should be conducted manually, despite the inaccurate St. Elec. Board recount rule that requires a machine recount. Even the SEB admitted in court that recounts should be manual, but leaves unlawful rule in place. 1/

OOPSIE: Last week, DOGE posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts, but they had to delete the five largest items because they were simply not true. What a fraud. Read more here: bit.ly/41xnm5Y #ResistTrump

3/ Many progressives do not understand that the GA system cannot detect hacking and all the audits in the world will not expose it. But SOS defends the system by saying it has never been hacked. But no one can know that. Worst system in the US! GA lawmakers too afraid to confront him.

2/ Many progressives do not understand that Raffensperger is no friend of honest elections, and wrongly assume that because he PURPORTEDLY "stood up to Trump," that he's one of the good guys. No, he has installed and stubbornly maintained a high risk hackable voting system --all experts agree.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”
Trump truth social post that reads: ELON IS DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM GET MORE AGGRESSIVE. REMEMBER, WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE, BUT ULTIMATELY, TO MAKE GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. MAGA!

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Every aspect of the Rubio-Lavrov talks in Riyadh is bad. Negotiating over the head of Ukraine indicates a sellout. Excluding the Europeans reveals indifference to Ukraine's future economic reconstruction (since the Europeans will pay the largest share).

Trump just fired 88 employees at the Western Area Power Administration. Combined with Elon’s “buyout,” we could be looking at a 20% reduction in their workforce, crippling the western grid and leading to blackouts and power outages.
