He can declare emergencies until the cows come home, he still has no authority over elections. Executive orders are not laws, they are statements of federal policy only.

If the Republicans don’t want voting machines it is because they know full well they can be hacked. Hacking and Starlink (Musk) is how they rigged the 2024 presidential election. Stupid Trump even admitted it.

FUN FACT: Trump is traveling to China to meet with President Xi Jinping in early April. And also Republicans know they are a minority party so they must do whatever they can to rig elections. bsky.app/profile/wash...

Many Trump supporters are as lawless as he is. No shame. Winning, and the power that goes with it, is the only thing. These right-wingers are projecting, in that THEY are the ones doing all they can to mess with & undermine the legitimacy of American elections.

His desperation is palpable. They wouldn’t be doing this shit if they didn’t think they were going to get trounced in November.

It doesn't unlock shit, it's clearly unconstitutional and you should say as such. The States decide the methods and means of voting. Glad I canceled your rag! You continue to justify my decision when you carry water for fascism.

Democrats are more motivated to vote, more educated, higher propensity. This has been true for over a decade. Why would banning mail ballots help trump?

Does the Bezos Post note in the article that the Trump EO is meaningless, because the Constitution says states administer elections, and this isn’t changed even if the false premise for the joke of an EO was correct

Literally the only "emergency" is that because of its vile campaign to bring fascism to America in 2025, MAGA leadership knows it cannot win open and fair elections in 2026, and faces multiple impeachments in 2027.

The MF is trying to think of everything he can so he and the rest of the Psychopaths don't lose in the midterms. Crazy MFS

Trying to cheat in the upcoming elections and steal power. That’s what Trump is doing. I’m sure Boss Bezos won’t let you state something so remarkably obvious though.

I was under the impression that the Constitution doesn’t give him the authority to do that. I’ve also noticed he loses a lot of lawsuits. It’s a shame he isn’t personally responsible for paying the judgments and fines that are levied when he loses.

“Unlock executive power”? Why would a news outlet dedicated to promoting our liberties say that? Isaac Arnsdorf does give us valuable context about Ticktin and Corsi But the headline and lede imply that Trump has legitimate authority here Bad choice by author and editors + exclusive? you sure?

Don't worry, Schumer and Jeffries will have an even more sternly written letter and 5-minute talk with reporters about how concerned they are to save democracy.
