Our Founders understood that despite the relative success of their earlier efforts, the contest between liberty and despotism around the world—and even in the United States—had not ended. Let's not make them spin in their graves next Tuesday.
Aside from the jack-booted intimidation campaign to keep us from... (voting?) Just the fact that there's STILL a fence around the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. Putin & his Apprentice are getting pretty desperate. Check on 5 people to see if they've #Voted yet; ask each of them to check on 5.
Good Night America, We wish you pleasant dreams of a country where federal troops are not patrolling the capital city in a vile fascist intimidation campaign. #ImpeachConvictRemove

It's happening. There seem to be growing issues with vote flipping. Double-triple check your ballot before you leave the booth. **If something looks even a little weird, CALL OUT FOR HELP.** One of the poll workers must help. Then calmly explain what you are seeing. DO NOT give up and walk away!
Over the past few days, a number of voters, including Dolly Parton's sister, Stella Parton, have taken to social media to report problems w/voting machines, saying the devices did not display their desired candidate or changed their selections. #Midterms buff.ly/kL1LFiR

ICYMI, Mississippi's district maps were redrawn in 2022, then a fed panel had them redrawn again in 2025 to comply w/the Voting Rights Act. Then SCOTUS reversed that decision, allowing Sec of State Watson to change districts w/o the Legislature's input. buff.ly/E8wG9de

A new company's fake polls may have influenced campaign decisions & helped shape the #midterms narrative. Wedgewood Polls admitted faking its polling data. They were included by multiple credible polling aggregators including the NY Times. #SMARTelections buff.ly/0ryEroE

Today in 1988, Czechoslovakian intelligence reported a wiretapped call between Ivana Trump and her dad. She said Donald Trump was pressured to run for president in '87 but decided to wait until he was older to improve his chances.

Relatedly, don’t forget the father of Trump’s first wife Ivana, Miloš Zelniček, was a long-time informant for Soviet-era Czechoslovakian state intelligence (the StB). 50 years of history has shown us that with Trump and Soviet/Russian connections, there are no coincidences. Like, none. Ever.

Europe criticizes Trump for easing sanctions on Russian diesel, Trump admin accuses Europe of hypocrisy b/c it still buys Russian oil/gas. Worth noting that the main EU buyers of Russian oil are Hungary/Slovakia. Orbán had blocked EU sanctions until he got an exemption from Trump last Nov.
