DOJ election monitors reportedly tried to access voting machines in Wyoming last week. I’ve spent thousands of hours reporting on past efforts by Trump allies to access machines & copy data. Mark my words: State officials need to be ready for this to happen again. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/u...

UPDATE: 6 Democrats voted for H.R. 8800 (the NDAA). They & 209 House GOP voted to spend $1.5 trillion on Trump’s military policies, including the War on Iran & “integrating” U.S.‘s military with a genocidal pariah state. They have blood on their hands. Tell your Senators: Vote no, or lose your seat

We’re not going to be able to “just go back to normal” in 2029. At this point, abolishing ICE, followed by free, fair trials for treason for ICE agents & their collaborators is the bare minimum. We must do whatever it takes to make sure nothing like ICE can ever exist again.
