Donald Trump wants you to believe the 2020 election wasn’t safe, even though he was president. Then it magically became safe when he won in 2024 under Biden. And now it’s unsafe again, right as he’s expected to lose the midterms.
Imagine still taking anything he says seriously
Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."
Ossoff: There's talk that he might try to declare me and Raphael Warnock illegitimate. Senators, obviously, the president has no power to do that. I expect him to use whatever he puts out there on Thursday as a pretext, either for some attempted unconstitutional use of federal power to interfere in the election, or to give his proxies and loyalists in state and local jurisdictions some cover for whatever they might attempt or to lay the groundwork for challenging the result.
In 2020, Trump manufactured the Big Lie, but he could never find the actual "thief" who stole the election.
So this Thursday, he's going to invent one.
Get ready for the "Bigger Lie" (which will make him look even more desperate than before).

Do not fall for it.
Trump has been laying the groundwork to justify massive interference in our midterms. It’s coming on Thursday. Don’t let him fool you.

"Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016.
When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024.
But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"
Trump is desperate for some distractions. Failed war in Iran? Harsh decision against him in his lawsuit against the IRS; the one where he tried to create a slush fund & a get-out-of-jail-free card for himself? Trump always goes back to fake election claims, which are growing ever more audacious.
Today, we’re wishing President George W. Bush a happy 80th birthday.
On Inauguration Day in 2009, President Bush left President Obama a handwritten note in the Oval Office offering encouragement, faith, and support as President Obama began his presidency. The letter remains a powerful reminder that public service should be grounded in grace, respect, and a shared commitment to the country. We’re grateful to President Bush for helping ensure a smooth and orderly transition between his administration and that of President Obama.
You can see the letter on display in our replica of the Obama Oval Office at the Obama Presidential Center.
Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!
Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.
And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.
Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.
Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.
Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
@imnotthanos87@WellsJorda89710 It was not an all white jury. There was no black member of the jury but jurors from other demographics served on the panel, not just white jurors. The only “big issue” is a teenager stabbing another teenager. Nothing here excuses that crime.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Not enough people know that the DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump and his family from IRS audits.
That's *extraordinarily* corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar. https://t.co/4I2ovkLZQq
