The top voting rights lawyers in the U.S. strongly recommend people not give any oxygen to, not talk about, “no midterm election” in 2026. Not to give the power of your words to that idea.

If you want an example, look no further than Marc Elias.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

Thoughts with U.S. citizens today.
Imagine if an armed militia rolled up into Narrabeen Woolies...started smashing car windows, hauling people into unmarked vehicles and pepper spraying anyone watching?
Husband and I agree... fair chance we'd be shot in the head.

It seems some Australians are living in denial land. Our Rugby League teams will be going to the US to kick off their season for the first round. And our government keeps giving Billions for submarines we will never get. Our Govt and some others need to open their eyes.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.
