Trump is making increasing noise about taking over elections. Ok. Let me just say, WE NEED TO SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN QUICK, FAST AND IN A HURRY. It can’t be done so states, the non-fascist part of Congress and especially the corporate media need to not give him the oxygen. Sit down and shut up already!

This week at Democracy Docket: Trump wants to ‘take over’ voting, while GOPers unveil a massive new suppression measure
Steve Bannon and Mike Johnson welcomed Trump's comments about taking control of elections. And a new Republican anti-voting bill could disenfranchise millions.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Schumer!!! The putz does it again. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory has been brought to the level of an art form. He needs to go as much as the fascists in Congress.

When you call your senators about ... *waves hands* ... all of this, please also tell them the fastest way to destroy the entire party would be to reelect Schumer as leader. If enough of them keep hearing about it, something might get done.
I know we have some 🔥 senators on the Democratic team. Can one of them, please, step up and throw their hat in the ring for leader? Stop complaining in private because this is intolerable.

Why are we continuing to pretend that illegal, unconstitutional and immoral behavior on the part of the federal government is allowed under the guise of being a legitimate administration. Are we like…..just waiting for this to magically end in its own. No pushback, no end.

Looks like Trump is now the Director of Programing at both CNN and MS Now since he has told them who they can and can’t interview on-air. It remains to be seen if they have caved entirely to the regime.

This is not the look of a well person. It is the look of someone whom is being propped up by massive doses of meds until those around him no longer need him. Pathetic.

Democrats can use that to their advantage to dismantle the violent operation from within.
