Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Anyone who accepts such a pardon is admitting guilt. The pardon offer means the President think they are guilty.

Rep. Raskin: I have been fighting for a decade to mandate independent redistricting commissions in every state in America. You know who voted for it? Every Democrat in Congress. You know who voted against it? Every Republican in Congress. They don't want fair elections, they want a chess game.

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

Little do people know the founding fathers took concepts of Indigenous governance when writing the Constitution. Native American people have contributed great things to this country, and today we celebrate who we are and all that we achieve.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Love the guy checking his watch.

Trump does an incoherent ramble as a confused audience listens in complete silence: "And you know what they're doing? They go straight down, you know, you can make those drill bits talk. You can make 'em sing, you can make them go, they go down."

This piece of crap, another attempted bribe seeking votes, showed up in my inbox this morning. Note the fine print at the bottom (third frame) -- paid for with our tax dollars. This guy's chutzpah and desperation are off the charts. #Trump #Election #Bribe

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

🚨 The last jobs report before the midterms is a disaster. Just 29,000 jobs added in September. Unemployment rose to 4.2%. July was revised down to a LOSS of 10,000 jobs, while August was revised down by 29,000 jobs, from 162,000 to 133,000. 1/

As a reminder, Democrats picked up 41 seats in the House in 2018, while losing two seats in the Senate. We should see a bigger pickup in both chambers this time, to put it mildly. But do not get cocky and coast here. Run through the tape.

Yes. here you go. Trump’s approval is significantly below where it was in 2018

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Exactly this. What he did was not only deplorable, it was treasonous. He and his election-denying enablers should all be thrown in prison. Hopefully the midterms will be a brutal awakening for the MAGA cult and we can finally start to see accountability.

Trump’s proposed DC golf course could cost taxpayers up to $49 million. While families fight to afford food, rent, and health care, his administration is moving money toward remaking public land around his ego. Public money. Private vanity. Corruption, again #StopTrumpCorruption

Idk who needs to hear this, but not voting because you don't agree with the nominee 100% on everything is exactly how we ended up with Donald Trump twice...🙄 #CountryOverParty #GOTV🗳️🌊💙

Remember when he said it would be over by (last) April? It will only end when he's gone from office.

In his speech at the Republicans’ midterm convention, President Trump said that the war in Iran will end "very shortly" after Election Day.

If this is too subtle for some folk, that’s Senator Hillary Clinton on his left.

Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

While prices rise, medical care access falls, and the war with Iran “grinds on,” DJT treats DC as his own personal LEGO room, buying new gilded pieces with our tax dollars. Even his own people talk openly about what’s going on. It’s insane that no one stops it. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/u...

Oh, this is going to piss some folks off. They’ve repeated the lie so many times they thought nobody would check the receipts. We checked. Jeffries is the first Black party leader in congressional history, and the “bought by AIPAC” smear has been repeated like gospel. Here are the actual numbers.
