All the signals are flashing red, the latest being @POTUS's summary dismissal of the remaining Federal Election Assistance Commission members.
Put that together with political hack Pulte's odious appt as DNI; election deniers in the most sensitive oversight positions; Trump's exec order on mail-in voting, and potential use of the Postal Service as a weapon of subversion; his pathological prioritization of the SAVE act, which would be the most powerful voter suppression tool in generations; and his persistent, unfounded claims of election fraud, which he uses to justify extraordinary federal interventions.
On the square, the @GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump's unpopularity.
So he's setting up Plan B--do whatever you need to do to win. Anything.
Anyone who says "Well, he wouldn't do THAT" hasn't paid attention. He's already proven he will!
So the period AFTER the Midterms may be even more turbulent than the run up to them.
The courts are going to be very busy this fall.

Zendaya and Tom Holland got married and no one knew about it and we still haven't seen pictures. THAT is romantic. Having a massive spectacle in the middle of midtown on a holiday weekend is tacky as hell.

Muslims and the GOP.

After @SpeakerJohnson did not criticize this post when asked about it, I started asking more Republicans here at retreat.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students

Within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people" https://t.co/ZZhPSI7RDE

God help us all if we’re about to see a repeat of the post Iraq 2003 era. Illegally invade a MidEast country, energize extremists, then get predictable blowback terrorism in the US. Americans killed at home & abroad to serve the agendas of GOP presidents & Likud prime ministers.

If your tick is the N-word, don’t go to these events. Should have said “we apologize for this inexcusable behavior.”

I have no “understanding” or empathy for this saltine!😊

At least 36 federal workers who were fired, pushed out or resigned last year are now running for office in a backlash to Trump's purge of the government. @esullivannyt https://t.co/VIG4CLHLb8

Your newest Olympic Champions support rape and think that victims of rape are liars and clout chasers.

It must be noted where this partnership came from- Due to Laurence Fournier Beaudry's boyfriend's 6 year suspension from sport for rape.
