After Trump's lies about 2020 election, Georgia Republicans ousted Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as chair & voting member of state election board. MAGA election deniers took control of board. Now those Trump-allied Republicans could seize control of voting in GA's biggest Dem stronghold
Trump wants to take over voting in at least 15 places
FBI raid in Fulton County GA now fueling MAGA calls for election takeover there
That would allow them to purge voters, cut polling places, limit early voting & challenge election results. Very scary for 2026

Trump’s FBI raid could lead to a takeover of elections in Georgia’s largest county
Trump wants control "over the voting in at least 15 places.” He could start in Fulton County, Georgia.

Fantastic in-depth reporting. Seth knows how to connect the dots...and the regime knows he knows.
(🚨) This is a personal investigation—after finding my name multiple times in the Epstein Files—that transformed into a novella. It changes how we must see the Trump-Epstein Scandal. It’s long, fully sourced, and harrowing.
And it goes places you’d never guess.

Jeffrey Epstein Was Obsessed With My Tweets Just Before His Death—And Now I Know Why
The new Epstein Files drop reveals that just weeks before the arrest that would lead to his death, Epstein was focused on the thesis of my 2019 bestseller, Proof of Conspiracy. The reason shocked me.

"As a January Pew poll found, only 27 percent of respondents say they support all or most of Trump’s policies, down from 35 percent when he took the oath of office. Nearly all of that decline is attributable to Republicans." It might be okay. @monacharen.bsky.social:

Interested to see how this goes, as it could replace United States v. Kammersell in my Computer Crime Law casebook as the main case on statutory limits on the scope of federal computer crime laws. Kammersell was from '99, it's classic but getting a little old.
