Opinion | The Real Threat Isn’t Trump. It’s the MAGA Apparatus. The round table convenes to debate whether we need to worry about the midterms being free and fair.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

By loudly pushing to nationalize elections, Trump is “already laying the groundwork for claiming that every Republican loss is a fraud and needs to be overturned — or, if nothing else, just cause massive civil disruption,” Michelle Cottle says on “The Opinions.”

Man Pleads Guilty to Arson in 2019 Attack on Tennessee Civil Rights Center The man also pleaded guilty this week to a charge of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, Hezbollah.

A Tennessee man with ties to white supremacist groups pleaded guilty to arson in federal court on Friday for a 2019 attack that destroyed the offices of a social justice center connected to Rosa Parks and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., according to court records.

VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

Trump tried to overthrow our 2020 elections.

Seeing how uniquely unpopular he is, and fearing loss, he now aims to control the results of future elections

When you’re losing hope.

Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes.

Think back to when this guy was your president.

When you could associate the presidency with class, decency and integrity.

Now open your eyes

And fight like hell to get someone like him back in office again.

Remember when Jackie Kennedy made a documentary showing us the White House? She didn’t make a penny from that.

Melania Trump is set to personally bag at least $28 million from her deal with Amazon- just part of a $40 million licensing agreement for the film

How low we have been taken

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

I’d like to apologize to the @wshcommanders.bsky.social. I washed my husband’s jersey this week and this loss is my fault. 😂 HAIL!

Musk doing nazi salute

Look, we don’t need to do the MSM analysis of President Musk’s Heil Hitler salute. There’s nothing to analyze and we don’t need the ratings.

We know what it was.

Let’s commit right here and now we won’t tolerate ANY gaslighting for the next 4 years.

We call it AS IT IS. Full stop.

Elon Musk did a Nazi salute. There isn't a discussion, there aren't interpretations, this isn't a controversy, there are people lying about it and people telling the truth.

No lies told in this headline.

How does any of this address the problems facing Americans: cost of groceries, cost of meds, cost of healthcare, cost of childcare, schools needing improvement, teachers salaries etc

Angles matter.

Tim Kaine to Elise Stefanik: "The notion that Democratic senators are for open borders and allowing illegal aliens to vote is a fantasy."

I generally always want there to be more #coffee. Here’s the mug one of my colleagues gave me for Christmas that I love. It has a perfect handle.

ME: [opens video called "Easy Meals When I Don't Feel Like Cooking"]

VIDEO: These recipes only take about 30 minutes to make-

ME: [closes video]

9am Me: I think I'll roast a chicken for dinner, steam
some asparagus, make mashed potatoes.

4:45pm Me: Hi, I'd like to order a large pepperoni pizza
for delivery.

Advice you didn’t ask for: Don’t fight it. Get those patches on! Sew instead of glue so you can easily take them off when you want.

I fear there is deep truth here.
