Newsom’s answer is really chilling but realistic…
Newsom: Just a few hours ago, Trump posted on Truth Social saying he’s looking into criminal investigations because he’s already alleging that this election is rigged. He knows he’s going to lose. This is the Election Rigging Response Act because he also knows he’s going to lose the 2026 midterms.

Remember, Executive Orders are not laws. The states control their own elections. Trump’s future election threats by EO is performative only.

Take time to vote today! A lot is riding on the line… This election is so important for what might happen in the midterms. And the local elections are important to let your voice be heard on proposals, amendments, and city council members, as that will foretell the future of your local government.

Wow, Denver‘s inflation is the highest in the US, with Chicago and LA right behind. I knew it was bad here, but I didn’t realize it was the worst! The consumer price index went up by 3.10%! san.com/cc/denver-in...

So Mike Johnson isn’t calling the House in session until at least January, if not later. So they are not doing any work at all, yet getting paid. And there are no republican House members objecting to this… why woul they? Free money, vacation, and so on.

So Trump commutes George Santos’ prison sentence to get MTG back in the fold (she’s been campaigning for this action). And also because Santos is a huge Trump loyalist and good liar. Do you think you think Santos will run for office again? Or will he be appointed to a post in the administration?

I love that journalists (except for OAN) who covered the Pentagon all left their former offices in solidarity at 4 PM, the deadline set by the DOD to leave.
Now we’ll just get propaganda from the Pentagon.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules
Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

Another Venezuelan boat strike ordered by Hegseth/Trump, killing all six occupants. We still haven’t found out the evidence that any of the obliterated boats were carrying drugs to the US. Some say one of the boats was composed of fishermen. These seem like arbitrary strikes—who will investigate?

Biden even complemented Trump. Biden did a lot of work in his administration to get hostages back and end the war, and he got over 100 hostages reunited with their families.

Anyone watch John Oliver last night? A well researched program about Bari Weiss, the new editor and chief of CBS News. Quite the grifter… This is worth watching. I will never watch CBS News or read the Free Press again!
