My question is if it comes out that musk has manipulated the election for Trump and we know he did what can be done about it?

Understand.

This country is on track to make sure Black people can never vote or be represented again. It’s happening.

Voting Rights is the root of EVERYTHING. Voting rights are about to END.

I know there’s a lot going on. But without Voting Rights… this country ENDS.

Hey can I get a quick check-in from all the "I Voted For This" MAGAs on flushing $40 billion of taxpayer money down the toilet to bail out Argentina for some reason? Can you explain your reasoning in demanding tens of billions of dollars of our cash go to a country we have very little to do with?

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.

But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.

So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

No money for healthcare, no money for veterans, no money for farmers. But good news: Trump just doubled Argentina’s bailout to $40 billion.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

We need a big account to take a look at this video from FOX 5 in NY with Trump and the head of the FIFA. AT minute 2.08. Trump admits “they rigged the election so I could be here for this” - Please share widely before they take it down.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

If you don’t play clean, you don’t play fair. That’s the Republican way.
With a redistricting and The Supreme Court hearing arguments about the voting rights act.

Of course they are, all the Ratpublican justices are either Heritage foundation members and Originalist thinkers. Imagine, going back to 1787, the world moves on and we’re thinking like Hancock, and slave owners. Trump would like that.

So the Supreme Court is leaning towards weakening the voting rights act.
