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.
Do you not despise Trump enough? Then read this:
Today, the Trump Interior Department and Commerce Department announced a rule that says that destroying an endangered species’ nest or habitat would NO LONGER be considered illegal. (MAN this pisses me off!)
Why would the scumbag f*ckfaces do this, you ask?
So that fossil fuel companies, agricultural interests, land developers, and others can disturb and destroy the habitats of vulnerable species, of course.
Environmental law firms plan to challenge the final rule in court, charging that it violates the Endangered Species Act as well as a 1995 SCOTUS decision.
Trump is literally walking all over your tax dollars.
For decades, every president since Truman has used the walkway between the White House residence and the Oval Office without issue. Trump decided it wasn’t good enough for him.
He said he would pay to retile it himself. Suprise, surprise, it was another shameless lie.
Internal budget documents show you, the American taxpayers, paid $689,232 for it.
And where is he getting the money? From our national parks.
Our parks are already short $23 billion in repairs, and more than 900 projects have lost their funding. Yellowstone lost a project to stop roof leaks. Acadia lost its free shuttle. A Colorado park lost the money to fix a guardrail.
But Trump found money to pave the ground he personally walks on with special granite.
Trump is forcing America’s national parks to slash budgets, cancel badly needed repairs, and lay off workers. He takes the money those parks actually earn – nearly $100 million in visitor fees – and has been funneling it into his own personal projects, including paving the very ground he walks on with special granite.
And it’s not just park fees. Your tax dollars are in that pot too. Taxpayer funding for projects in our nation’s capital surged by 92% over the last year.
Trump seems to think your tax money is his money. He thinks he is entitled to raid national parks, cancel repairs, lay off workers, and use public funds to redecorate the place where he lives and works.
The level of greed is just disgusting.

The situation with the Kennedy Center has gone off the rails. It has officially reached levels of pettiness I didn’t think were possible, but Trump is once again defying the odds.
A court ordered his name removed from the building. He lost, fair and square. So, what does he do? He throws a tarp over the sign that says “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts” and just leaves it there.
Not for a day, not for a week, but for WEEKS.
A federal judge is demanding answers, because apparently we live in a country where a sitting president has to be hauled into court to explain why he’s hiding a building from the American public.
A president with a real legacy doesn’t need to paste his name onto someone else’s. And he definitely doesn’t need to hide a sign because a court told him no.
A weak man with a bruised ego would. And that’s exactly what’s happening here.
It’s petty, it’s absurd, and frankly, it’s embarrassing.
Boss “why isn’t the hole dug yet?” Me”…… the pup wanted to play….” Boss “What?” Me “ watch this….” Boss “Overtime approved!” 😂
He was like wait I wanna go again So cute❤️😂
This is truly one of the sweetest and most wholesome things I’ve ever seen.
A man captures squirrels up close and personal.
Truly an amazing glimpse into the beauty of our world.
