Staging these sites under the EOP & circumventing fedramp means we can’t see who’s doing what, who’s writing the code, etc - things required for govt sites. This is scary stuff. They could fabricate voter registration fraud and use it to throw out votes, for example, and we couldn’t check it. END/

If the Dems don’t take the Senate in 2026, look for Thomas and/or Alito to retire in order to appoint younger, loyal conservatives. This despite recent reports that Trump told them not to retire.
