We are NOT NEARLY concerned enough!

Seriously, put this on blast - people need to understand what's going to be unleashed in November.
Here's @rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now.

It's harrowing stuff:

👇🎯 And folks wonder why I’m constantly banging on about the free passes everyone - here, in the media, & everywhere else - keep giving 24/7 to the people, ALL of whom are Republicans, who actually control both houses of Congress.
Also it's quite the editorial choice to run a picture of Schumer alongside an article detailing choices made by Thune and Johnson.

Quite.

REMEMBER: Trump was indicted in Georgia on 13 felony counts for election meddling.

Last week, FBI agents returned to the scene of the crime and took all the ballots.

Is Trump probing “foreign interference,” as he claims… or finishing a criminal scheme he began 5 years ago?

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

Buried in his interview yesterday with NBC, Trump implied that the FBI raided the Georgia election office to "find out the true winner" of the 2020 election.

If that's why they did it, it's a crime -- an unauthorized & unconstitutional recount of a state's election results.
