Last week, Trump fired the remaining three members of the Election Assistance Agency, effectively disbanding it. It’s the latest step he’s taken to rig the midterm elections. Here’s everything else he’s trying to do to cheat his way to victory.

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

The EPA announced it will appoint industry representatives from chemical and other sectors to its Science Advisory Board (SAB), alongside academics and other scientists. The new appointments come more than a year after the administration “reset” the board by dismissing all of its sitting scientists.

Dr. Marvel joins an estimated 95,000 employees who have left federal science agencies through layoffs, retirements or resignations since Mr. Trump returned to the White House last year. Of those, an estimated 10,000 held doctorate degrees in the sciences. Let that sink in.

This is illegal! The Trump administration is instructing managers across the federal government (regardless of employee performance) to ensure that at least 80 percent of staff receive a 3 out of 5 rating, making them easier to terminate and easier to justify in court.

While huge swaths of government are gone and regulatory agencies deeply diminished, we now find our country under economic cyber attack by those who want what we have and our government under attack by the wealthier 1% along with the misinformed and/or ignorant. Americans are no longer safe.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.
