Trump’s DHS sicced ICE on volunteers with clipboards. A year of federal investigations. Hundreds of nonprofits. 82 in Pennsylvania, 41 in New Jersey. They found nothing on a single one — then discussed sending undercover agents to “dismantle” them anyway.

The Trump administration won’t let neutral international observers near the midterms. It’s sending 1,000 of its own Justice Department monitors instead — from a department now hiring people like a man convicted of hacking an election system. Observers out. Theirs in.

A smoking gun document from inside ICE. It shows the agency weaponized against progressive groups that register voters — investigated over and over, cleared every time, then marked for undercover infiltration anyway. While it built a database of nearly 50 million voters.

The theory is that voting machines were rigged to steal 2020, and might be rigged to steal 2026. Somehow they weren't rigged in 2024. "It's not a question that they've ever been able to answer. There's no logic to it, because it is BS."

Election denier Tina Peters was reportedly in the Oval Office Monday to discuss "election security." She was convicted of breaching her own county's election equipment. "Her actions made our last election less secure, not more."

Trump sicced immigration agents on groups that help people register to vote. New documents show ICE's investigators combed through 120+ voter registration groups in PA and NJ and weighed going undercover. ❌ They found nothing.

Nevada's Secretary of State on Trump, after every one of the 185 Nevadans DHS flagged as a possible noncitizen turned out to be a citizen: "Our president wants to choose his voters rather than the voters choosing him." Cisco Aguilar is right. Voters pick our leaders.

Trump's DHS claimed 15,903 noncitizens were on Nevada's voter rolls. Then it quietly cut that to 185. Then Nevada checked all 185 — every one a citizen. Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar: "We went from 16,000 to 185 to zero." Nevada did the work. The number was zero.
