It is all too obvious that Trump will do everything to steal this election.
Therefore no GOP victory will appear honest or credible.
Trump has turned the GOP into a party of his obedient criminals.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Translation:

California made it illegal for Elon Musk to buy elections.

And next, we’re going to make it a felony for Donald Trump to rig one.

Watch out.

When is the media going to cover Ken Paxton the way they're covering Graham Platner?

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

The ICE story around the man it shot is unraveling rapidly, with no evidence that he rammed anyone and video showing ICE actually rammed his vehicle.

Making matters worse, ICE had no body cameras, despite having gotten $29.9 billion in 2025 that they could have used to buy them.

UPDATE: Colorado Republicans have now officially nominated Victor Marx — who was caught blatantly lying about rescuing women & children👇🏽 (among other things)— for GOVERNOR😕

“What did I say?” 🤷🏼

Public pressure and strong reporting work. This is a 180 change of sentiment by Whitmire. We cannot have federal law enforcement simply shoot people in the street. DHS and FBI are not reliable investigators.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

This is what a President and First Lady look and act like. It’s so obvious how much they love and respect each other too. The Nobel Peace Prize should be his next. 👇👇👇

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The billionaires are buying up our media to protect their wealth.

Jeff Bezos - who owns the Post - is worth $250 billion. His disgusting fortune is dependent on paying many of his workers a wage that doesn’t allow them to pay their bills.

Of course he opposes a living wage.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Why does the media give Trump a pass for things they would never accept from any other president?

Remember this name :Peter Ticktin

We will hear a lot about Trump childhood friend from military school Peter Ticktin the next few months.

Ticktin is a long time election denier who represented Colorado convicted felon Tina Peters who was recently seen at the White House.

Ticktin, with Tina Peters help is pushing Trump to declare a national emergency to stop the mid terms Republicans are poised to lose in record numbers

Ticktin says he has “evidence of a grand conspiracy” that will be revealed by Venezuela President Maduro in exchange for leniency in his criminal case.

Of course Tictin is long on predictions and short on facts but he does have Trump’s ear so the Ticktin conspiracy has to be taken seriously

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Trump is ramping up his attacks on our elections. We must stop him.

"NATO summits now are about managing one person and one country, and that is the United States," says former US Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith.

Makes sense, this is where flights to Epstein’s island left from.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Every American — regardless of political party — should be horrified at yet another blatant effort by President Trump to eradicate every safeguard of free and fair elections.

If Republicans remain silent in the face of his obvious attempts to rig the election, they are complicit in allowing our democracy to crumble.

RFK Jr dissolved the CDC Division for Parasitic disease

Now a parasite is causing huge outbreaks of explosive diarrhoea across the US

What a foolish move

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Actually, this is fascism.👇

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

There is absolutely NO reason to slam that boy's head on stone. He was already restrained.

There was NO reason to point their tasers at people observing. They weren't obstructing.

These ICE thugs have to be brought to justice!

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

The President of the United States is currently doing everything he can do to fuck with, sow distrust in, and destroy another American election.

@realDonaldTrump is America’s enemy. He should be in jail.

A woman registered for a public JD Vance event using the official signup form, got a confirmation on White House letterhead, and stood in line for thirty minutes before five people, two of them armed Secret Service agents, pulled her out by name and told her, "we know where you stand."

Her offense was running a cat meme Instagram account with two million followers. The ACLU is now suing the Executive Office of the President and the Secret Service over it, and the strongest detail in the whole complaint is not the ejection itself. It is that Secret Service agents apparently monitor a satire account closely enough to recognize its founder on sight in a rope line in Bangor, Maine.

Vance called his own 2021 cat ladies comment one of the dumbest things he has ever said. He was right the first time. Weaponizing federal security personnel against the woman who turned that quote into a punchline is a worse unforced error than the original one.
