Gee, I wonder why people are arguing that Tulsi Gabbard shouldn’t have anything to do with our elections

The Guardian has a rough outline of what the Tulsi whistleblower complaint is about: NSA found someone close to Trump in contact with foreign intelligence, and rather than doing something about that, Tulsi brought the report to Susie Wiles.

It's hereditary. His grand father was a racist pimp and grifter. His father was so racist, Woody Guthrie wrote a song about it. Although both, as depraved as they were, never reach their offspring immorality. Pedonald refined their worse instincts!

Congratulations to Donald Trump's Racism! Not many people have such bigly racism that it requires its own unique Wikipedia page - but you did it!

Kudos to you, Stephen Miller, ICE, and your entire minority-hating team.
A section of the Wikipedia article on Donald Trump's racism called "support from white nationalists and white supremacists," saying: "From the outside of his campaign, Trump was endorsed by various white nationalists and white supremacist movements and leaders... David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon expressed vocal support for Trump's campaign on his radio show... Trump repeatedly claimed to be ignorant of Duke and his support."

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

Judge Dana Douglas, about Judges Edith Jones and Kyle Duncan:

"The majority seems to be unable to imagine what it might mean to be detained ... [and] to require the services of a federal habeas corpus lawyer to show that one ... deserves to see the outside of a detention center again."

This from Douglas is so very on point — and not at all subtle.
Finally, the majority repeatedly asks why Congress would have preserved "one of the most significant advantages available for unlawful entrants" despite its general purpose of placing applicants seeking admission on equal footing with applicants already present in the country. Ante at 21. This "seems strange to suggest." Id. at 20. Petitioners, the majority opines, offer "no commonsense explanation why, as a general matter, Congress would want to deny bond only to those lawfully seeking admission into the country." Id. at 21. There are a few: (1) bond has always been available to detained noncitizens already present in the United States; (2) as this practice exemplifies, government intrusions have always been tolerated at the border that would be intolerable in the interior, for the obvious reason that citizens and noncitizens alike expect to be able to go about their business without having to show that they are "clearly and beyond doubt entitled to be admitted" if taken, or mistaken, for an otherwise inadmissible noncitizen; and (3) with only a little imagination, the government's and the majority's reading means that anyone present in this country at any time must carry the precise kinds of identification they would otherwise have only carried to the border for international travel, lest they be mistaken for an inadmissible noncitizen "seeking admission" into the country. The majority seems to be unable to imagine what it might mean to be detained within the United States without the appropriate proof of admissibility, and, without a bond hearing, to require the services of a federal habeas corpus lawyer to show that one is entitled to release and deserves to see the outside of a detention center again. This is not, or not just, a matter of human sympathy, but rather a matter of understanding one of the core distinctions in immigration law, and the very good reasons for it. See Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 693.

It is going to be lawyers and the courts. That is what it was in 2020. It was in 2022 after the first wave. It will be again in 2026.

It's not even a question that Trump is attempting to rig the midterms - he's pretty openly trying - the question is how strong the mechanisms are to stop him.

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls
In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

NEW: 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.

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again.

The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot.

Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!
