Trump suggested today — that the federal government should “take over” or “nationalize” elections in places he doesn’t like
My one happy thought for the day is that he does not have the power to do that! But he hasn’t had the power to do other things he’s done

They tried to cover it up immediately and the Minneapolis police chief refused. Witnesses have been taken to police headquarters and all available off duty police have been called to work. ICE cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Congress must act now. The Courts must stop the foot dragging.

Worth watching the whole thing
This afternoon, retired Army general Stanley McChrystal spoke at the retirement ceremony hosted by HRC for six trans service members who were forced out under Trump’s ban.
“I shouldn’t have to be thanked for being here. First off, we shouldn’t be here. This shouldn’t be happening.”

Nothing says ‘representing the people’ like turning off comments so the people can’t speak. If your policies can’t withstand public feedback, that’s a problem.

What happened to “America First”?
We’re talking about going into Venezuela, threatening Greenland, tightening blockades on Cuba — all while telling Americans there’s no money for healthcare, disaster relief, food assistance, or seniors.

Where are the Republicans in Congress? For God’s sake — stop this before it gets even worse.
High-level discussions are reportedly underway about whether Trump should escalate and strike Venezuela — and how. The fact that this is even being considered is alarming.
We need accountability right now.

Look folks -If the CR passes with the cuts in it, these cuts happen just later. If Democrats stop the cuts, the cuts don’t happen. There’s no middle ground.

Trump’s new Defense plan quietly outlines a “National Guard response force” trained in crowd control and civil unrest, to be deployed across all 50 states by April 2026.
Let that sink in.
They’re not preparing to leave office; they’re preparing to lock the country down.

If her fetus is "in her placenta," that woman is in a ton of pain and the pregnancy's a nonstarter anyway. Good lord, don't take medical advice from this man.
RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

This is Adelita Grijalva.
She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.
She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

On MSNBC Barbara McQuade wrote an opinion piece The 'really good lawyer' tapped to take on Comey was picked for one very Trumpian reason in it, she said”we have people like Secretary of War Pete Hegseth”. The US government has no secretary of war with a Secretary of Defense.

#GOPCongress — D.C.’s National Guard is already armed (Aug. 22, 2025). Now Trump is targeting Chicago & eyeing forced redistricting in other states.
This isn’t safety. It’s a power grab. When will you wake up?

It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act.
Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.

Donald Trump just cold-called Norway’s finance minister to ask when he’ll get the Nobel Peace Prize—and hinted at tariffs if he didn’t.
