NEW: When Trump fired the independent commissioners of a key federal election agency in July, there was a resounding fear that the move would impact its critical election work before the midterms. Months later, the body has maintained much of its work to protect election security.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

Trump: "CNN and MSDNC’s Ratings have dropped considerably. The primary reason is NO CREDIBILITY! They only write badly about a man who won the Election IN A GIANT LANDSLIDE, winning all 7 Swing States, the Popular Vote, and 86% of the Counties, etc., and whose Popularity has grown because of the unprecedented SUCCESS our Country is having on both the World Stage, and at home. CNN and MSDNC, to show you how fake they are, today refused to cover one of the Biggest and Most Beautiful Events to take place in many years, the arrival at the White House of the Highly Respected President of China, Xi Jinping, and his beautiful wife, Madam Peng. The event was magnificent — Actually made for Television but, because they’re Fake News, and because they knew how good it would be, they didn’t want credit to be given to “TRUMP,” they refused to be there. That’s why they have such poor Ratings. Tonight’s State Dinner at the White House, for President Xi, will be spectacular! The Media will be in attendance. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Here’s the truth: We can protect Social Security and even expand benefits if everyone paid their fair share! @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social
A post from Senator Elizabeth Warren. The text says, "A teacher earning $60,000 pays Social Security taxes on every dollar she earns. A worker earning $184,500 does too. But someone earning $10 million pays tax on just the first $184,500. That doesn’t make sense. We can protect Social Security if everyone paid their fair share."

have you noticed how the FBI and DOJ's line about every single ICE shooting is that "the investigation is ongoing" so they can't say anything? (Or hold anyone accountable.) Reminds of how Trump's tax audit was going on for years and years.

Here's what I think about Trump's pledge to give everyone $5,000 if he wins the midterms: It's as real as Trump's promise to lower costs on Day 1. Check the receipts from Groundwork for the 15 times Trump promised Americans $$$. Remember the DOGE dividend?
