SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

This is why the Republicans are worried about the seats in the house or any upcoming elections because they know musk has already hacked the election programs. This is all bullshit we all know it. What are we going to do? Trump doesn’t win unless Musk hires his H1B engineers to hack our system

Orwell warned us, "We know that no one seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end." MAGA can not afford to lose power in the next elections. Thus, they have to ensure they can act with impunity. They need to shut down election watchdogs to do this.

At some point really hoping someone in authority manages to figure out how to detain and interrogate these little Musk minions for one of their ongoing financial, cybersecurity and national security violations and use the opportunity to also ask a whole lot about what they were up to last year.

When you want to ensure that you will never lose another election. It doesn’t matter who casts the votes. It only matters who counts the votes. Florida 2000 Ohio 2004 Every year closer and closer until 2024, when every single “swing” state went to the GOP by a small amount. What are the odds?

From an outsiders view it looks from the news that you have elected essentially a king. They have zero tolerance towards democracy. The first thing is to silence any people with power, then control the media. After which expect to see a strengthening of enforcement agencies.

Sure. Remove the protection and security our elections have, the richest man on earth is embedded in this administration with a bunch of hackers following him around, and trying to gain his favor. Nothing can go wrong in this scenario. Was 2024 rigged? Who knows. 2026/2028? They will sure try.

Orange shit is doing everything possible to dispose of evidence that musk rats minions hacked all voting machines making sure orange shit won. Orange shit created this monster & gave him unlimited power so now the musky rat has complete control over orange shit, congress & our country.

There won’t be another free elections in this country. :-( They will screw up the systems to facilitate meddling with the elections, plus the F billionaire already said he will put money in elections in which she wants one candidate over another to win. Like he did for the felon in office.

Trump knows he is full of s**t. Disbanding the agency is likely primarily to facilitate further election interference which they believe will aid the republican party, and it probably will. In short, it is another betrayal of country. The idiots savior continues to betray his followers.

So, the President is effectively using state power to compromise election security? That seems to be quite wrong. But, if election were held tomorrow he would get his 75+million votes regardless. You folks are fighting mass insanity here, and should dismantle source of it (propaganda machine).

Did anyone seriously think he said ‘next time you won’t have to vote for me anymore’ by mistake? They have been VERY transparent about their ambitions. Unless you do something the best you can hope for is that you’ll have a Belarus/Russia style election with the opposition getting 5% of the votes.

Wow! Who ever would have thought that this would happen? Oh right… we did!!! And we campaigned for, donated to, and voted for democracy in the form of Harris/Walz. Thank you, Wired for continuing to report on these trying times.

If you want democracy and protect it Fokking get out and PROTEST. Freedom is more easily lost than won. Democracy did not come into existence with peaceful demonstrations. Civil disobedience, Civil war. Europe has seen many episodes to install and protect democracy. Repost and spread the word.

never thought I’d see the day when @wired.com magazine was kicking the @nytimes.com ass on DC scoops but here we are bsky.app/profile/them...

cannot express clearly my disdain for almost all DC journalists today this month marks a massive failure in American journalism probably bigger than the failure of Weimar Germany’s👇🏼 hard to get how long-term journalists can look at themselves in mirror these days bsky.app/profile/them...

Yeah we’re done….there will be no more free and fair elections from this point forward. If the American people gave a damn about their country and if they actually understand what is happening to it, violence will be the only solution to stopping this.

Every Trump accusation is a confession. "The elections in our country are rigged" = "I am going to rig the elections in this country" - - "They stole the elections" = "I am going to steal the elections" - - "They are corrupt" = "I am corrupt" You don't have much time left to stop this, America

both. and again, don't pre-buy from the giant corps or fill up your tank before the 28th so as to avoid personal inconvenience: put up with the inconvenience in order to make an EFFECTIVE economic statement.

So for this administration: break the law, fine; assault our elections, fine; lie pathologically, fine; act like a bigot, sexist, racist, fine; but don’t dare call it the Gulf of Mexico. JFC

So the best way to have more secure elections is apparently…crippling the agency that does election security? They’re so stupid and evil. The entire admin is just a competition between those two to see if the stupid inadvertently mitigate some damage from the evil

This kind of thing is why the whole "just wait until the midterms, guys!" attitude from certain establishment Dems is so frustrating. There's a severe risk that there will never be a legitimate election in America again. Not if the fascists are allowed to consolidate power.

This doesn’t end until Americans are in the streets en masse. The sooner we recognize that and get a move on, the more chance we have of stopping this before it is irreversible. We don’t have until the midterms. We have weeks, only.

Stay positive. It’s not over until it’s over and we need to fight this with all we’ve got. Take actions that are empowering, take a stand, and hold hope. With anything that comes our way, we choose courage 💪🏽

I think the more of us that say it and talk to people about what’s happening, the the better. Part of what we must do is wake people up, & that will make us sound crazy…but not for long as they start to see fundamental things that they counted on from the government break where they least expect it.

idk how fair 2024 was...but IF it was a fair election, I fear it will have been the last one for the foreseeable future. Dems have almost no chance of ever winning another presidential election. mark my words...

He is pissing off too many people in a short amount of time. Once the masses figure out what's happening, it will get interesting out there...

The German federal election on Sunday, Feb 23, 2025 could metaphorically serve as a "Pandora's box," potentially revealing various forms of voter interference. Elon Musk, of Xitter, has publicly endorsed the #AfD --Germany's far right party similar to MAGA. Will #Germany find evidence when they win?

I was sceptical of claims of election fraud by Trump just thought Harris campaign managed to turn off a sizeable chunk of voters with the pro genocide more of the & slow rightward march but then he said Elon messed with the voting computers on stage. So that tracks not that anyone will do anything.

He is an airhead, a blockhead, a clown, a dunce, an egghead, a fool, a goofball, a halfwit, an ignoramus, a jester, a knucklehead, a lunkhead, a moron, a numbskull, an oaf, a pinhead, a quack, a rube, a simpleton, a twit, an ultralight, the village idiot, a wacko, xerotic, a yahoo, and a zero.

Yes 👍 The ONLY WAY the voters 🗳️ will know about this is if we picket 🪧 out on the streets with a megaphone 📣 en masse. Not 👎 like last time 🙄😒. They’re listening 👂 to Faux News 🗞️ or playing with Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or TikTok whatever. They’re ignorant of what’s going on.

That’s what I keep hearing (in person) and from seeing in videos. 😒 “I didn’t even know what 😮 was going on…I believed Trump, I didn’t ever think 🤔 that he would lie 🤥 to me…I didn’t know that it was going to be THIS BAD…”😒 and ON AND ON…😒
