The U.S. has welcomed international election observers for decades. Now, with the 2026 midterms approaching, the Trump administration is breaking that tradition. If our elections are fair, why turn away independent observers? Transparency should be a point of pride in democracy.

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades.

The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

The White House calls the ads public-service announcements. Critics say they amount to political promotion. A lawsuit now challenges the spending. The courts will ultimately have to weigh the legal questions

[Left Of The Ledger @LeftOfTheLedger]

The distinction matters: Trump says MAGA Inc. will pay for future ads. But that does not mean taxpayers are being reimbursed for ads already purchased with federal funds.

[Left Of The Ledger @LeftOfTheLedger]

AdImpact reports nearly $12 million in these ads had aired by Oct. 6. DHS had tapped $20 million for the broader media campaign. Those figures aren’t the same, so the accounting matters.

BREAKING: This Trump / Epstein statue to honor “friendship month” was mysteriously placed on the national mall.

I love it. Don’t stop talking about Epstein.

Fuck whoever shot Charlie Kirk!

There is no place for this violence in America.

PERIOD!

Human life is precious!

@BitLifeApp It says lower prices, but these two items were literally $9.99 last week. 🤣

BREAKING: The group behind the MASSIVE “Hands off” protest is now calling for another protest on April 19.

In social media posts, the group stated that they want 3.5 percent of the U.S. population—more than 11 million people—to participate. They cite this figure as the threshold for "sustained resistance in order to make a difference."

Spread the word!

BREAKING: The frightening Reason why Trump is Intentionally losing the Election has been revealed

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

EPIC:

Kamala Harris’ campaign just slapped back at the Trump campaign, saying that they don’t want anybody’s microphones muted because doing so would not allow Americans to see how unhinged Trump is.

They also claim that Trump’s campaign likely didn’t even tell Trump that Harris doesn’t want microphones muted because they themselves want microphones muted to quiet Trump

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

71 days until the election.

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

The Lincoln Project has wasted no time putting out a video ushering in Kamala Harris for President of the United States!

NGL, the beginning made me teary.

We owe President Biden so much gratitude!
