This Is How Musk & Trump Could Have Cheated in the 2024 Election

The Election Truth Alliance has spent the past 2 years doing a forensic analysis of 26 states & found disturbing anomalies & vulnerabilities in our voting machines that can still be exploited.

Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed.

Here's what happened:

He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all.

These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees.

Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him.

A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it).

The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth.

But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress.

With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not.

And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her.

The threat does all the work.

By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress.

Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch.

If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place.

The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.

Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.

Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.

The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.

Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."

They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.

If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

Erin Brockovich has launched a new interactive website and map tracking data centers across America — and the response has been overwhelming.

In just the first week, the site logged 1,690 resident complaints, with over 1,800 submissions coming in from 47 states shortly after launch.

Residents are reporting serious issues including:
• Massive water usage draining local supplies
• Sharply rising utility bills for nearby homes
• Constant 24/7 noise from fans and generators disrupting sleep and daily life
• Concerns over e-waste and potential PFAS contamination

This comes from the same Erin Brockovich who famously won a $333 million settlement against PG&E in the 1990s for contaminating drinking water in Hinckley, California.

The map shows operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, allowing people to submit reports with photos and locations.

What the map shows~

• Major AI data centers (operational, under construction, or proposed) across the U.S.

• Overlaid with community-reported concerns (pins from residents emailing in issues).

• You can click markers for details, sources, and reports. It uses a leaflet/OpenStreetMap-based interactive map.

Stats from the site (as of ~May 24, 2026)
• 33 Operational (built & running)

• 44 Under Construction (announced or building)

• 27 Proposed (in pipeline/pending approval)

• Hundreds/thousands of community reports nationwide (earlier reports mentioned 2,700+ submissions from 49 states, with Texas leading heavily).

Many Americans are now asking whether the rapid expansion of data centers is coming at too high a cost to local communities and the environment.

For those who want to learn more about what illnesses the data centers are causing here is a superb video. I suggest every American take a half hour to watch this with your families and forward it to your friends.

The health insurance industry hopes you never hear this:

Medicare for All would save the average American family over $12,000 a year. Gone: monthly premiums. No premiums. No deductibles. No copays. No surprise bills. No “out-of-network” traps. No $500 ambulance bill months later.

That is why they spend $150 million a year lobbying Congress.

The fact we are going to have our first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water is proof our current system is not for the greater good but for the greedy.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin.

When workers stand together, they win.

MacKenzie Scott divorced Jeff Bezos and got $36 billion in the divorce.

She has donated $26 billion to charity since then.

She’s now worth $42 billion, six billion MORE than when she started

TAX THE BILLIONAIRES. THEY’LL BE FINE.
