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.
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.
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.
Political analysts are still dissecting India's election results. Yes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi won a historic third term. But his BJP party lost a significant number of seats.
What does it all mean for the world's largest democracy? Business Insider has a great selection of stories covering all the angles. Dive deep here: https://flip.it/ctg0ik
Indians have raised ‘a voice for democracy’ online and in the polls in historic #vote
Despite the heightened anxieties over the conduct of a free and fair #election , #India ’s democracy rallied in the 2024 election, with voters denying Prime Minister Narendra #Modi a landslide win. Much of the fight occurred online as independent journalists and influencers challenged the government narrative echoed on mainstream media.
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. 🚨
MAGA Mike Johnson announces his plan to “go after” the United States system of justice.
Why this plan is destined to end in failure like most of Republican’s plans to protect felon Donald Trump.
MAGA Mike Johnson has announced his “three pronged approach” to ”go after” the Dept. of Justice. The FBI, local DA’s, Judges, juries and anyone involved in the administration of justice in the U.S.
White Nationalist Mike Johnson plans to use the ⭕ appropriations process, ⭕ Anti law and order legislation and
⭕ Congressional oversight to greatly weaken if not destroy America’s justice system.
What has caused this drastic reaction from the #TrumpStooge who is supposed to serve all of the citizens of the U.S.?
Johnson is committed to destroying our entire system of justice in service to one FELON. Remember Election Denier Liar Mike Johnson led the attempt to use FRAUDLENT ELECTORS, throw out valid electors in 2020 and return the election to the states.
If Johnson is successful in his attempt to destroy the DOJ, FBI and local law enforcement and court systems citizens are in grave danger.
The Johnson plan to overturn our system of justice is already in motion. Jim Jordan is demanding DA Bragg appear before his committee. Traitor Tom Cole is proposing legislation to end funding for the FBI unless they drop all Trump investigations. Johnson wants to end congressional funding for local law enforcement and end all programs that assist law enforcement. A plan that would have long term extremely negative effects on millions of American citizens.
MAGA Mike Johnson has forgotten his oath to the Constitution His attempt to drive a stake into the heart of our justice system will not play well with voters this fall.
Donald Trump and His Personal Attorney Rudy Giuliani Worked With #Russian Intelligence Agents to Try to #Steal the 2020 U.S. #Presidential#Election.
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) charged parliament member Oleksandr Dubinsky with treason, working with Russian FSB/KGB agents of russia, indicting him alongside Andriy Derkach and former prosecutor Kostyantyn Kulyk, who have both fled the country. The three were part of a Kremlin-backed effort to feed Giuliani russian disinformation in an attempt to harm President Joe Biden.
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.
"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."
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? 🧵
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.
Known liar Mike Johnson, Byron Donalds, Cory Mills, Doug Burgum & Vivek Ramaswamy hang around lower Manhattan to be trumps gag order gangsters.
Gag order prohibits trump from making comments about jurors / witnesses and also from causing others to make comments about the case, jury or court staff.
Every move Republicans make at this point is aimed at undermining our justice system.
Several members of Congress from the Republican MAGA party, have traveled to NY to defend a man who's been charged with 37 counts under the Espionage Act, crimes against the United States of America.
They've gone to undermine our justice system. They are trying to impeach Merrick Garland, the US Attorney General, by calling his integrity into question while at the same time they are calling the integrity of our justice system, period, into question.
They are working diligently, feverishly, daily to prime their people to revolt in a bigger way than they did on January 6th in an even more violent way and in an even more widespread way.
Because when Donald loses the #election to President Biden, they want nothing but a “January 6th” on a massive scale because they are not going to accept the results of the election. They've told us so.
Nothing good is happening or coming from the Republican Party. It is the criminal party.
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."
NBC News: Trump supporters are trying to doxx the jurors in Trump's criminal trial.
A non-profit that conducts public interest research found posts of the purported addresses of jurors on a fringe message board known for pro-Trump content.
The same group found a high volume of violent social posts targeting Judge Merchan and DA Bragg
“EU officials have warned that this will mean signing up to Brussels rules and the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which may put at least the spirit of Labour’s red lines under pressure in the eyes of Leave backers.”
So what? Just do it.
Step 1 in rejoining.
“a Starmer government looks likely to come under pressure internally to take up the EU’s offer on youth mobility”
In Britain, former Conservative Member of Parliament Julian Knight, who was suspended from the party over allegations of sexual assault, has announced he will run in the election as an independent. Seems to me he could start and run for the Sexual Assault Party.
