Trump is now threatening to withhold more than $1 billion meant to prevent terrorism and prepare for disasters, unless states adopt his preferred election rules.
This isn’t about election integrity. It never has been. It’s about strong-arming states into making it harder for you to vote.
His plan would force states to run voter rolls through a deeply flawed database that could flag perfectly eligible American citizens for removal. And complying with his new mandates could cost states more than $2.7 BILLION.
The Constitution gives states control over how elections are run. Courts have said so repeatedly. And yet here we are, watching the President try to buy his way around it with funds meant to keep communities safe.
I am fighting every single day to make sure our elections stay free, fair, and out of Trump’s hands.

Who saw this a while back and just KNEW this was not gonna end well?
Trump made his motorcade drive down the reflecting pool before it was sealed.
The contractor didn’t clean up the motor oil and tire dust, they just painted right over it.
The paint failed exactly as predicted.
By June, massive gashes of blue lining were peeling off in the exact shape of the motorcade’s path. The oil trapped underneath stopped the paint from sticking.
Surface prep 101.
Six innocent people arrested.
ICE agents beat a man in Minnesota for following and observing their abuses so badly that they gave him brain damage. They chained him to his hospital bed for 5 days and charged him, but like so many other cases, the video led to a dismissal but not charges for the agents.
Minnesotans are living through a coordinated campaign of retribution from the Trump Administration.
