Big story that got buried last week.
As news focused on Iran, ProPublica revealed Trump officials met with election deniers pushing a “national emergency” plan to fuel's Trump's 2026 election takeover.
Same ones who tried to overturn his 2020 loss.

MAGA calls Michelle Obama a man because they can’t attack her character.
MAGA calls James Talarico a vegan because they can’t attack his character.
They spread conspiracies about Dr. Fauci because they can’t attack his character.
Congress never voted to bulldoze the White House or for a dollar to build Trump’s golden Ballroom for the Epstein class (or anyone else). But now we learn that Trump’s bad architecture obsession is costing us all $600 million. Turn your illegal Qatari jet over to the people and we’ll sell it for $400 million and we’ll take the rest out of other illegal emoluments and slush funds, including the $1.776 billion fund for insurrectionists, and the Board of Peace, another unauthorized Trump fund bankrolled by money misallocated from the State Department.
Sam Stein points out to Rep. Mike Turner that his line on Iran has completely shifted from 2021 (when he was saying Biden negotiating with Iran was bad) and now (when he's saying Trump negotiating with Iran is good), but instead of acknowledging his hypocrisy, Turner has a performative crash out
New concerns are emerging about President Trump’s sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants after a report found that nearly 100 of them have been arrested, charged or convicted of additional crimes since the attack in 2021.
It comes as continuing efforts by Trump and his allies to recast the events of that day have reignited debate over accountability and the rule of law.
@ElizLanders has more.
Sen. @timkaine: Was the 2024 presidential election rigged?
Trump Nominee: President Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
Kaine: He was asked twice if the 2020 election was rigged and he wouldn't answer the question. You answered so easily when I asked you the question about 2024. The fact that you were unable to give the simple answer about 2020 raises serious questions.
#BREAKING: Deposing Attorney: Do you regret that people lost income to support their lives?
DOGE Bro: “No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero.”
Deposing Attorney: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
DOGE Bro: “No, we didn’t.”
Deposing Attorney: So you weren’t able to reduce the federal deficit and you still don’t regret that people lost some of their livelihood based on your actions?
DOGE Bro: “No.” 🤦♀️
Hegseth: Nobody makes better or more munitions than the US.
Brennan: But there is a crisis with those stockpiles right now.
Hegseth: That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle.
Brennan: You testified under oath that it would take years to rebuild those stockpiles.
Trump, a billionaire, did a meme coin rug pull to his own supporters, transferring $600-700 million of wealth from the MAGA base to his already wealthy family.
Argentina's right-wing President Javier Milei did the same to his supporters, promoting the Libra crypto pump-and-dump scheme.
They don't care a bit about their supporters. They see them as stupid losers -- which, honestly, they are, if they still support these crooks.
The TRUMP meme coin generated about $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than $700 million, according to Reuters' estimates.
The coin has dropped 97% from its January 2025 peak
Hi, Donald. Midcoast Mainer here.
You did not, in fact, “have to go to Japan” to get a Maine lobster before you. We sold millions. Our lobster fishery is one of the most valuable in the U.S.
It’s a big reason why people come here, in case you didn’t know!
If anything is hurting our lobstermen, it’s inflation (which you apparently “love”).
Also, exactly *zero* Maine fishermen run their boats at three knots. More like 30 knots—and some go even faster. You should check out a lobster boat race sometime!
I think it might be time for one of your famous Oval Office naps, because you have ZERO idea what you’re talking about.
DeMeco Ryans on the Texans:
“Our team is looking great. I feel really, really good about where we are as a team. One of the best OTAs that we’ve had since I’ve been here the past four years. I’m really excited about training camp. We have a really great group of guys & we’re building a really great team this year.”
We had press releases about this, we showed it all to you with their laid-out plan in Project 2025... people scoffed at us.
Well, here is Mike Johnson saying Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year.
Good luck.
