Funny how that works.

BREAKING: RED ALERT! A shocking new report just revealed that Trump and his allies are plotting to declare a state of emergency in order to steal the 2026 midterms!

The Washington Post is reporting that Trump allies have drafted and are circulating a 17-page executive order that would use bogus allegations that China interfered in the 2020 election in order to justify “extraordinary presidential power over voting,” including mandating voter ID and banning mail-in votes.

“Under the Constitution, it’s the legislatures and states that really control how a state conducts its elections, and the president doesn’t have any power to do that,” says Peter Ticktin, one of the people involved in the creation of the order.

“But here we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes. That causes a national emergency where the president has to be able to deal with it.”

A 2021 intelligence report found that China was considering getting involved in the 2020 election but decided against it.

Standing in the way of his order is the fact that the Constitution mandates that states, not the federal government, regulate elections, and it’s unlikely that any executive order would hold up in court…until it reaches the Supreme Court, at which point all bets are off and the Justices will get to decide whether or not we stay a democracy.

Even if this comes to pass, it’s not the end. But we need to be ready, and we need to be organized. If mail-in ballots get banned, we need to be ready to drive people to the polls. If voter ID gets passed, we need to be ready to help people get the IDs they need in time.

Nothing will stop us from taking back our country from this would-be dictator and his psychotic cronies!

@gtconway3d Yes!!!!

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.

The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump.

Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power.

That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality.

And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive.

Congress needs to do its job.

Now.

Before it's too late.

In these times of grinding, nasty, dispiriting politics, @SpanbergerForVA's acceptance speech tonight is such a welcome tonic. Positive. Uplifting.
Thank you, Governor!
Godspeed!

Absolutely the most corrupt President to ever hold power

We should all condemn political violence. A young life cut down. A young family left to pick up the pieces. This is not just is a tragedy for his family. This is a tragedy for our country. No matter where you are on political spectrum. This is something we can all condemn. This is a moment to stop, reflect, and reassess.

Gun violence must be stopped. None of us are safe.

My heart goes out to Mr. Kirk’s family.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.

Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.

Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

@RebeccaJarvis @GMA So fun to see you in Minnesota!! We have so many amazing memories of our time together with the Alliance! Such important work! ❤️

Arresting judges. Ignoring court orders. Threatening to deport American citizens.

This administration is a threat to the rule of law. It's time for Donald Trump's GOP enablers to rein him in.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Trump is caving to China, Musk is leaving politics with his tail between his legs, and the world is laughing at us. MAGA wants a strongman but picked the weakest men around.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

Every woman, I repeat, every woman of every age, every color, every political affiliation should condemn this, should raise their voice about this, should be terrified about this. Just a few short months ago women’s health advocates were optimistic for the first time in generations, today we should be alarmed. Women’s health research cannot afford to be cancelled like this, our lives are on the line.

Will be the worst 100days of any modern Administration. Crushed the economy. Severed relationships with our allies and trading partners. Disavowed the rule of law. Weakened our University system. Went after the law firms and the media and have decided that human rights no longer include due process. And so much more. Shameful.

My dad started Head Start. Head Start has changed the lives of millions of families. Head Start’s work is vital to children and working families today.

This is a potential disaster. Let’s not let this happen!
