The FBI’s unprecedented seizure of 2020 election ballots and records in Fulton County, Georgia has election experts raising red flags for 2026.

One expert warns the raid was a possible test run for future midterm interference in swing districts.
FBI’s Fulton County raid may have been illegal, legal experts warn. But it definitely raises fears for 2026
'This is a test run for 2026... Trump could try to seize voting machines or otherwise interfere with state ballot tabulation processes in swing districts around the country.'

Much like my 2600 a month drug off CVS which costs 30 for 90 days off Mark Cubans @mcuban.bsky.social
AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?

CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer

AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

“It’s a shakedown. They’re trying now to use the power of the federal government to scare Minnesota officials into handing over voter rolls and backing down on their protective policies. Trump wants that state voter data so that he has the ability to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections.”
Bondi’s outrageous demand for Minnesota voter rolls in exchange for ICE leaving is smoking gun showing their plan to rig midterms. They’ll stop at nothing to spread false claims of voter fraud, wrongly purge eligible voters from rolls & challenge election results www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The DOJ’s “ransom” letter to Minnesota reveals how Trump plans to rig the midterms
After ICE killed Alex Pretti, US Attorney Pam Bondi tells Minnesota to hand over its voter roll to "bring an end to the chaos."

when @ariberman.bsky.social writes these words, it's a big fucking deal:

"In the past week, the different tactics the administration could use to interfere in the midterms have come into sharp focus."
Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day:

-using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities

-seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties

-prosecuting 2020 enemies

-extorting states for sensitive voter data

www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
From Minnesota to Georgia, Trump’s plans to interfere in the midterms are becoming more dangerous
The seizure of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia follows the DOJ’s demands for voter data in Minnesota.

If your representative is voting to cut health care while giving tax breaks to billionaires, they should at least be willing to stand in front of you and explain why.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Even elected Republicans are starting to wake up to the reality that they cannot outrun the will of the people.

Your voice matters, well before Election Day, in more ways than you may realize.

I’ve worked alongside her and seen firsthand how she shows up, listens, and takes action to get results for the people she serves. Minnesotans deserve steady, caring leadership now more than ever - and they will be very well served with Amy leading their state.

I’m thrilled to support my friend @amyklobuchar.com for governor of Minnesota.
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

His actions have led to higher prices for groceries, housing, utility bills, and more.

Of course the president will do anything to avoid talking about his economic failures.

Even in our polarized country, more and more people from left, right, and center are coalescing to demand change.

It's happening because a freedom-loving nation does not allow masked, militarized government agents to violate our civil liberties.

If republicans are so supportive of his acts, then he could have come to Congress for approval… but he’s been allowed to unconstitutionally grab immigrants, then US citizens off the streets because too many people continue to pretend like this is nothing more than a game!

This is when we see who is serious about their oath & who isn’t. This President continues to exceed his powers because Republicans care more about a pat on the head than they do being patriots. OUR TROOPS, OUR LAND, OUR CITIZENS, & OUR STANDING IN THE WORLD are all being put at risk!

Are you F-ing KIDDING ME?! @Donlemonbsky has been arrested by the DOJ?! Exercising your first amendment constitutionally “protected” right gets you locked up, exercising your 2nd gets you killed, and actual murder… well in uniform, gets you nothing!

“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”

I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.
