Trump Signs Angry Press Release Disguised as Executive Order to Try and Restrict Mail Voting No, it's not an April Fools joke – Trump is copying a foreign autocrat’s playbook to try and rig the midterms.

No, it's not an April Fools joke – but legal experts say it'll likely be laughed out of court.

Essential intel from @fairfightaction.bsky.social's Lauren Groh Wargo on why the regime is targetting Fulton County, GA and what this means for their broader project of trying to control the outcomes of our elections.

Politicians are misleading you about the SAVE Act.

Important 2 min. breakdown of one of the bill’s major problems. ⬇️

Section 8(j)(2)(A), SAVE Act: Sen. Mike Lee says it ensures no American will be blocked from voting "if they can't find their documentation."

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”
