Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.
Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.
This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

Trump suggests federal control of elections in ‘some areas’

Q: Bannon recently said 'we're gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.' Is that something the president is considering?
