🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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.

NEW: Utah's Republican top election official said the Trump administration doesn't want to hear that noncitizen voting is a nonissue because it goes against its mass fraud narrative. The comment comes after the state found only 27 noncitizens out of over 2 million registered voters on the rolls.

The day started off with great news, with a historic win stopping wall construction across Big Bend in Texas. Then came the news about the "Grandmother" Cottonwood tree in Arizona. After 71 days of protesting, the Border Agents arrested folks and killed the last remaining tree. Why? What the fuck! 🤬

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

At Camp East Montana, an ICE detainee's death was ruled a homicide after guards "restrained" him. Federal investigators later found missing or destroyed evidence, while the camp's contractor failed to provide required use-of-force and death reports.
