Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Don’t make the mistake of lumping this in with weekly Trump outrages. This is the knife at the jugular of democracy. It should be an absolute call to maximum resistance for all patriots.

Something I've been emphasizing during our TV coverage of federal agents arresting Don Lemon: The DOJ had been under intense pressure from the right, from Lemon's ideological opponents, to put him behind bars. And now the White House is using the arrest to publicly mock him.

Media is doing the credulous "new tone" thing again—as with Trump on Russia-Ukraine—presenting BS about MN/Good/Pretti/ICE as sincere.
But as @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, govt actions matter more, and Trump's rhetorical shift is an effort to maintain the brutal ICE/BP campaign, not curb it.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

After the public execution of Alex Pretti, the administration is blaming the optics, th tactics, the messaging, Bovino’s head just rolled, now they may have Noem’s head roll as well, but none of that is to blame for what’s happening on the streets of America. Donald Trump is to blame. He unleashed this lawless, un-American cruelty. He and his party must pay the price. Their heads must roll.

If you listen to MAGA, they truly hate America and everything that makes it great. They hate democracy, free and fair elections, diversity, and the separation of church and state.

Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.
After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.
