I believe that Trump, Mike Johnson and Greg Abbott should not have started this and continued with it in multiple states to rig the midterms. No Democrats want this, but we can’t unilaterally disarm in the face of multiple threats to fair representation nationwide.

Judge Immergut refused to play Trump’s game, instead held him accountable. There is no deference due to a president who refuses to operate in good faith

A president can forfeit judicial deference through his own conduct. Newsom v. Trump says a president’s decisions must be made in “good faith”

Joshua Failé @joshuafaile.bsky.social · 2d

As always, Trump is completely fabricating statistics to justify his demonstratively fascist rhetoric and actions. And you can be confident the various prosecutions bringing suit against the regime to stop the military occupations will be using these statements as evidence of malicious intent.
