Republican Sen. Lankford: A top Republican told me that if I try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this election year, he will do whatever he can to DESTROY me. He said, ‘I do not want you to solve this during the presidential election’ 🚨
Republican fascists threaten deadly force if any measure to improve our border security.
Scott Perry traitorous republican from Pennsylvania lied repeatedly to Americans and worked to overturn our election because he wanted to install a dictator. Criminal suspect scott perry worked to kill our nation.
The most corrupt and criminal in American history.
Had phone seized by DOJ
Had his contacts with Jeff Clark/John Eastman/Ken Klukowski prioritized by DOJ investigators
Witnessed Meadows burn papers, per Cassidy Hutchinson
Insurrectionist Scott Perry scores 10 tops the insurrection list as the top traitor. Save this post.
#MagaMike Johnson has placed two of felon Donald Trump’s favorite coup-plotting members of congress on the House Intelligence Committee putting two people so closely associated with the Insurrection on a committee that protects American national security. 🚨
A 2nd #Trump admin could #weaponize existing government agencies to dismantle democracy itself.
This article is part of “Project 2025: The Plot Against #America,” a Nation special issue devoted to unpacking the right’s vast & chilling program for a 2nd Trump term.
In the section on the #DHS …there’s a plan to eliminate the ability of the agency that monitors #ElectionSecurity to prevent the spread of #disinformation about voting & #vote counting.
…Think back to Nov 2020, when #Trump was developing his #BigLie about the #election he’d lost. Trump’s false assertion the election had been characterized by “massive improprieties & fraud” was tripped up by #ChrisKrebs, who served as dir of the #Cybersecurity & Infrastructure #Security Agency (#CISA) in the DHS.
The Republican appointee & his team had established a 24/7 “war room” to work w/ofcls across the country to monitor threats to the #security & integrity of the #election. The operation was so meticulous that #Krebs could announce after the voting was finished: “America, we have confidence in the security of your vote, you should, too.” …his coordinating team declared, “The Nov 3rd election was the most secure in American history.” This infuriated #Trump, who immediately fired…[Krebs].
Instead of focusing on #VoterSuppression, the manipulation of #election processes by domestic & foreign agents, & other genuine threats to #democracy, Mandate for Leadership’s authors would have these agencies do the bidding of #Trump & his #MAGA movement. That’s a formula for giving Trump the #authoritarian#power he seeks—not through an explicit crushing of electoral democracy, but by “reforming” it in precisely the way that the nonpartisan group Protect Democracy warns is most dangerous.
"Georgia's Court of Appeals paused court proceedings Wednesday in former President Trump's state 2020 election subversion case while it reviews appeals, including whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can stay on the case."
@AxiosNews reports: "The pause in proceedings makes it unlikely that the Georgia case goes to trial before the November election."
The GA Court of Appeals on Wed ordered a halt to the proceedings in the election interference case against Trump & 8 co-defendants pending the outcome of their appeal seeking to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney #FaniWillis.
The order, issued by the full appeals court, means the case against #Trump & his co-defendants, accusing them of a #criminal#conspiracy to try to overturn his defeat in the state, will almost certainly not be scheduled for trial before the fall #election or even the new year. It remains unclear if the case against the 6 remaining co-defendants who did not sign onto the appeal will proceed.
What Donald Trump’s Criminal Trial Reveals About a Potential Second #Trump Administration
The latest trial revealed a lot about how Trump went about running his company and the presidency — and provided hints of how that might play out in a second Trump administration.
Indian voters reject Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a one-party state in win for competitive democracy.
CNN reports: "In what opposition parties have declared as a victory for pluralism, voters in the world’s largest democracy partially rejected Modi’s populist vision for a Hindu-first nation, reducing the BJP’s share of the vote by 63 seats – bringing its total down to 240, far below the 272 required for a parliamentary majority."
Garcia: I want to remind everyone about the real #TrumpCrimeFamily. Why did Saudi Arabia give Jared Kushner $2 billion just months after he left the White House? Why did they spend hundreds of thousands at Trump properties while he was still in office? 🧵
