Trump ousted all three members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, a bipartisan agency that works with state officials to ensure free and fair elections.
Nice try, Mr. President.
We won't let you sabotage the midterm elections. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship.
Is Mitch McConnell dead or alive?
Apparently he had a bunch of 20 minute conversations with different Republican Senators, but he can't do a 5 minute proof-of-life video?
And don't tell us to give him space. His wife gave him plenty when she flew off to China.
Olympic kayaker Davey Hearn's lawyer:
"Today Davey Hearn pled not guilty, because he is not guilty. If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the Reflecting Pool, every American is at risk, and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution. This indictment reflects the administration's effort to scapegoat and to shift blame for their own failures."
Enough is enough. It’s day 26 of Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization and the narrative by Senate Republican leadership is that McConnell is a medical miracle. If so then why can’t he resign? Senate Democrats and brave Republicans, please speak up, you know this is not right. @RepThomasMassie you need to get ready to run.
REMINDER: He could be impeached *tonight* and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives.

Gavin Newsom knows exactly who Trump is and he isn't afraid to speak the truth.
"Trump didn’t drain the swamp—he gave it a gold-leaf presidential suite. He works for one man: himself. $4B richer while sitting in a public trust. This isn’t politics, it’s a heist. No king, no foreign power ever came this close to breaking American self-government."
America needs to hear more from Gavin and a lot less from Trump.

@ABC@CBS@CNN@NBCNews@MSNOWNews look at this real investigative journalist @Cheering4Change and listen to her own report from her own investigation. You’re all so useless and nothing more than pathetic partisan hacks. The same as the state run media in communist China…hiding, censoring, and making up “news” to distribute to its citizens. The same. No different. Thank you @laralogan for bringing well deserved attention to this most excellent true journalist @Cheering4Change. A diamond, shining in a sea of garbage…because light penetrates the darkness. She’s shines too brightly over all of them. 🇺🇸
@Cheering4Change Why aren't the Democrats in the senate investigating his absence. Especially knowing he was in full cardiac arrest. This stinks to high heaven. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he has been brain dead for weeks and is being kept on life support. Thank you for your great work.
Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials. The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?
🐍Why did Leader John Thune lie?
We know now that after McConnell was found unconscious and hospitalized, Thune told CNN he spoke to Mitch — who “𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅” and was “𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏.”
Really? Right after being admitted to cardiac ICU ? 👀
Thune’s spin was immediate.
Why the deception — and why the strange silence from those closest to him?
Something doesn’t add up.
Time for proof of life? 🤔
Nearly a million people lost BILLIONS on Trump’s crypto scheme while a handful of insiders made a fortune.
This is corruption on a scale our country has never seen.
BREAKING: A journalist is now reporting that Mitch McConnell is officially BRAINDEAD and will not be coming back to torment us anymore!
We need official confirmation ASAP…
An hour ago, White House advisor Laura Loomer tweeted out that “a high-level source close to the White House tells me ‘Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He’s not coming back.’”
This was quote-tweeted by the journalist who first published the story of McConnell’s cardiac arrest, Desirée Townsend, who confirmed these reports.
“I have heard the same thing from my sources for days. At this point, I am at the hospital for when they eventually decide to move cut him off of life support and move his body. His Capitol police detail is still here as of 3:39pm ET,” wrote Townsend on Twitter.
The fact that we have had no update on his health for THREE WEEKS is absolutely outrageous.
Mitch McConnell is a United States Senator, a very important one at that, who has been Weekend At Bernie-ing his job for far too long.
The process of replacing him needs to play out. It is believed the Republicans are deliberately concealing his condition in order to prevent a special election from being triggered, one in which notable Trump enemy Thomas Massie could run and split the red vote.
Few tears will be shed for McConnell, who blocked President Obama from filling a Supreme Court seat and is personally responsible for the complete lack of any meaningful legislation that would actually help the American people ever passing.
He served corporations, the pedoligarchy, and the Republican Party loyally while screwing over the rest of us every day of his misbegotten life.
The American people deserve transparency about their elected leaders. We need to know the truth about what’s going on in Kentucky!
1. Communism is utterly un-American.
2. Authoritarianism/fascism is utterly un-American too.
3. The Democratic Party is not Communist. Not yet. Not even close.
4. The Republican Party IS
authoritarian/fascist. RIGHT NOW.
So…which party is the greater threat to America?
BREAKING: Disturbing new allegations accuse Republicans of hiding Mitch McConnell’s health status in order to prevent a special election that could put Trump’s enemy Thomas Massie in the Senate!
This seems INCREDIBLY shady…
Independent journalist Desirée Townsend laid out the disturbing case with clarity:
“Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials.”
“The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?”
These are important questions that we NEED answers for.
Mitch McConnell has not been seen in public in over three weeks, nor have we had any update on his health after he suffered cardiac arrest, was given CPR, and then hospitalized.
Curiously, his wife Elaine Chao, who is not a government official, suddenly flew to China just three days after the incident – meaning that the person with power of attorney over his affairs is out of the country, meaning there is nobody to declare him brain-dead if he is indeed in a coma or otherwise mentally unfit to do his job, which it was unclear that he was capable of doing before.
Is she hiding in China to keep him alive as a vegetable?
In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election, and that date is August 3rd.
If a special election was called, Trump’s vocal critic Thomas Massie would certainly run and likely win – which would be a HUGE headache for Trump and his agenda. If he didn’t win, he would split the vote, allowing a Democrat like Charles Booker to fill the seat.
That’s why they’re trying to conceal his condition as long as possible.
Either way, this is absolutely unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is the chair of the important Senate Rules Committee.
We cannot allow Republicans to just lie to the American people and treat their jobs like its a position they OWN, especially when so much is at stake and one vote could change history forever.
Republicans need to tell us what the hell is going on with Mitch McConnell, ASAP.
Phang: Blanche maintains that FOIA was my only and remains my only option. And then he has the balls to say the following. He says that my lawsuit "threatens the interdependence and the reciprocity between Congress and the executive branch." You know, folks, last I checked, I don't see a lot of interdependence or reciprocity between Congress and the executive branch.
What I have seen, I've seen people like Todd Blanche, Pammy Jo with the bad hair, Kash Patel, Susie Wiles, JD Vance, and others, assembling repeatedly in the Situation Room at the White House with Todd Blanche quarterbacking strategy on how to avoid turning over the Epstein files to the American people.
Does that sound like interdependence or reciprocity?
