this is an excellent article that breaks down all the ways Trump might try to subvert the election and the practical realities thereof

he will bluster, he will rage, he will spread conspiracy theories that damage trust in our elections… and he will lose

if you’re really worried, read it
His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :
Worry, Don't Panic, Over Trump's Efforts to Subvert the Elections
America's system is quite foolproof but he can still try to delegitimize it

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that they are trying to make it harder to get a passport at the same time that House Republicans passed a bill that all but requires a passport to vote.

Right? Coincidence? Don’t Republicans want Americans to vote?

Out of respect to Virginia Giuffre and the other survivors who were once more disrespected by yesterday’s coverup of the Epstein Files, I invite you to post her picture to your social networks. Thank you.

ICE stopped a U.S. citizen, smashed her window, dragged her out, and threw her passport in the street. Agents wore masks and refused to identify.

ICE has no authority over U.S. citizens. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable force.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?
At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files
The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.
