Attempts to end mail-in voting are part of President Trump’s larger strategy to remove checks on presidential power by making it harder for voters to hold politicians like him accountable at the ballot box.
The Constitution is clear: The president has no power to change election laws.

Trump Wants to End Mail-In Voting Ahead of Next Year’s Midterms (Gift Article)
The president does not have the power to unilaterally change voting laws, and any executive order regarding elections is likely to see immediate legal challenges.

Rather than boycott President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, some Democratic lawmakers are inviting former federal workers to the speech on Tuesday as a way to protest the mass firings and funding cuts that have defined Trump’s first month back in office.

Six fired federal workers will be temporarily reinstated after a decision this week by the Merit Systems Protection Board, the first step toward what lawyers representing fired employees hope will be the restoration of thousands of jobs cut by the Trump administration.
Six Fired Federal Workers Temporarily Reinstated by Review Board
The decision could apply more broadly to thousands of other government employees who were fired because they were on probationary status and relatively new in their positions.

Hegseth’s biography is on the left, General Brown’s on the right. Go read these to someone without telling them who they are and then ask them to choose who is better qualified to hold the positions of SECDEF and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Democrats need to act with the same urgency they email us for money.
They need to get corporate and dark money out of the primary process.
