An Ohio voting-rights group is insisting it did nothing to justify the "swarms" of FBI agents who fanned out across the state on June 12. Meanwhile, the FBI hasn't given any public hint of its reasons for the action or shown that they were justified https://t.co/d5DNDcarmX
Just today:
Trump threatened CA elections.
RNC filed a voter suppression lawsuit.
Ohio is on the verge of a new anti-voting law.

MAGA will believe the Reflecting pool was vandalized with no video proof but deny an insurrection happened when it was on live television. These people are cult fanatics.
Both these headlines are from Texas this month.
Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.
PabloReports: Does Donald Trump get to keep this Qatari jet after the presidency?
Raskin: No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can’t do it.
Because the Constitution says that the president may not receive a present, an emolument—which means a payment, an office or title of any kind—from a king, a prince, or a foreign state without the consent of Congress.
And Congress has not consented to him keeping a $400 million jet. So it’s got to be turned over immediately to Congress for disposition.
We can either send it back to the people in Qatar, or we can keep it and do something different with it. But it doesn’t belong to the president.
You know, Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, wanted to keep some elephant tusks he’d gotten from the King of Siam. He never kept a present before. He wrote a letter to Congress. He said, “Can I keep this?” And Congress said, you know, you’re doing a great job, Honest Abe, and we love you, but no, you can’t keep it. Turn it over to the Department of State. That’s the right way to do it.
Every other president has come to Congress to ask whether they can keep one of these foreign gifts from a government, king, or prince. President Trump should be no different. He’s got to come to us too. And if not, we’ll just have to requisition it and confiscate it.
Imagine a country where you can get a 10 year prison sentence for removing peeling paint from a pool…
And receive no prison sentence for raping a child.
Welcome to America.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are now aggressively tackling, and arresting, U.S. VETERANS.
In this video, multiple ICE agents are seen violently tackling a man to the ground… while another agent points a taser at bystanders, who are standing so far away, they aren’t even visible.
As the man is being pinned down, his brother repeatedly yells that he is a veteran, and legally in the United States.
An ICE agent then pulls up and begins ordering the brother to “stay out of it.”
The brother continues shouting that the man being detained is a veteran, and legal.
And the agent’s response?
“I don’t care.”
ICE’s entire purpose is, supposedly, to enforce immigration law. Their entire job is determining who is not legally allowed to be in this country.
So, if an agent’s response to learning the person they’re arresting is a veteran… and here legally… is, “I don’t care.”
Then what exactly are ICE agents actually enforcing?
Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

This is misinformation.
Judge Sooknanan blocked the database because the government knew that it broke the law — and also knew that the data that they used to purge voters was unreliable. https://t.co/1ODNkisqlr
Donald Trump and DOJ have had a rough few days -- losing big cases in his effort to rig the 2026 election. My team is preventing him from gaining access to sensitive state voter dats while Democracy Forward is blocking his misuse of federal databases.
When we fight we win!
Sen. Tuberville promised voters he would donate “every dime” he made in Washington, D.C., to Alabama veterans — and even present checks on a monthly basis. Six years later, tax records and his own nonprofit show no evidence that ever happened.

The Office of Management and Budget, run by Russell Vought, has labeled both humanitarian aid and global health money as “unallocated,” meaning the OMB must approve how it is spent.
Legal scholars say this likely violates the law.

Right now, the regime is erecting a fence to hide how badly Trump vandalized OUR Reflecting Pool.
The Ellipse is destroyed, the Kennedy Center is still covered with a tarp to protect his fragile ego, and now the Reflecting Pool is being walled off — is that because there's no "gash"?
He needs to keep his tiny, bruised hands off our monuments.
A note to my friends who still back Trump:
I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.
Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.
And the green water?
A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.
That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.
The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.
Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.
Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.
Prove them wrong.
🚨 BREAKING: Close Trump advisors have been informing him the likeliest cause of any “rip” in the Reflecting Pool surface came from him insisting the full motorcade drive on the fresh surface to “inspect” it before it was refilled, which he immediately denies to blame liberals.
people who showed up to a protest outside an ICE facility and left when things got chaotic are getting HALF CENTURY sentences in federal court right now, my god
It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years.
(And George, thanks for the mints!)
