Donald Trump targets his political enemies in order to keep power. In 2026, that won't just mean going after people like James Comey and Tish James. It will require him to target voters who he needs to disenfranchise to keep control of Congress. The fight for democracy is more urgent than ever.

#tdih 1960. W. Tenn. Black sharecroppers registered to vote (to break all-white juries which denied fair trial).
White landowners evicted them in cold of winter, “barred them from buying groceries or gas, & from receiving bank loans and medical services.” 💔 ⬇️ 🧵

Trump was listed as a passenger on "at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which (Ghislaine) Maxwell was also present," it said.
Flight records show Trump "traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," an assistant US attorney from the Southern District of New York wrote in an email dated January 8, 2020.
