If the way the DOJ’s argument to preemptively throw out 20k CA ballots just went in the Ninth Circuit is any indication, the Alaska lawsuit is going to get thrown out with a quickness as well.

Last week, Blanche said the DOJ had no active plans to interfere in certification. The next day, he filed a lawsuit in Alaska to stop certification. He’s now demanding we all believe that Trump and congressional Republicans won’t try to stops Dems from taking their seats in Congress on Jan. 3.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Blanche just now: The constitution says Congress is allowed to pass laws regarding elections, "and that's exactly what we're doing." Someone remind me: Is the Department of Justice in the legislative branch?

Meet U.S. Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.), who really thought he was cooking at Trump's rally in this clip. Unfortunately he just comes off like another Republican who struggles to read and/or think.

Detainees at ICE's Folkston detention center in Georgia say a Mexican national has taken his own life. Detainees heard the man screaming in pain while being held in solitary confinement. Then, the screams stopped. He is the 60th person to die in ICE custody under Trump. More to come...

This is the clearest indication yet that Republicans plan to officially contest the results Democratic of election wins when the House convenes on Jan. 3. Here’s how it would work: zeteo.com/p/doomsday-s...

Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to immediately resign & says, "please inform our great Speaker, James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has conceded her seat ... she will not be allowed to me a member of that body any longer" Trump's crowd in Iowa then starts chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!"

It actually is in writing. The DOJ removed this guidance from its website, as noted in a DNC lawsuit over ballot seizures outlined in my @zeteo.com story from a few weeks back: zeteo.com/p/dems-warn-...

zeteo.comDems Warn of Trump Plans to Seize BallotsDespite having no constitutional role in the administration of elections, Trump and his DOJ are likely planning to seize ballots, Democrats say.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper

I get why everyone is fired up about this but Rogers is clearly saying “let them intimidate” the cops that he wants monitoring polls. As in, “I’d love to see someone try intimidating an ex-cop that Republicans sent to a polling location.” Not great, but also not what everyone is saying it is.

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

Kid Rock assimilated into Black hip hop culture and then transitioned into a racist redneck so he actually knows a few things about being a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Kid Rock on Fox & Friends: "It appears that El-Sayed is assimilated ... and I would like to make the point that there have been other people who have assimilated to this country. The Fort Hood shooter. Those extremists that became pilots and crashed into our World Trade Center."

The investigation of Ilhan Omar proves the DOJ is willing to go to extreme lengths to interfere in the midterms. What else will the Trump admin do? I discuss with Georgia State Election Board member Sara Tindall Ghazal at today’s @americandoom.bsky.social: justinglawe.substack.com/p/the-doj-is...

If anyone still has reservations about whether the DOJ will attempt to seize ballots and voting machines amid widespread efforts to interfere in the midterms, this should dispatch with them.

The federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar aims to build a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the probe www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Mispronouncing “cognitive” while bragging about acing a cognitive test is hall of fame stupid.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "It's called a coganative [sic] test. It's a very standard test, but very tough. There are few people in this audience that can -- once you get past the first question. They show you a lion, a bear, a giraffe, and a snake and they say, 'Which one is the lion?' Biden was unable to answer that"

The “number” is Republican members-elect contesting the elections of their Dem counterparts in what is known in election circles as a constitutional coup, as outlined in this @zeteo.com piece from me and @swin24.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/doomsday-s...

They are surging ICE across Black and brown communities and talking about Somalians in Minnesota in the hopes for unrest so Trump can seize ballots, send agents to polls and access voting machines.

For those playing at home, not only is Collins’ son-in-law a white nationalist, he’s also a (frankly weird) manosphere/body builder type who regularly cosplays as a Greek god (??)

Q: Many feel you have not addressed the fact your son in law is a white supremacist influencer. What have you said to your family? COLLINS: That's my family OSSOFF: Imagine running for Senate while neo-Nazi propaganda is disseminated to an audience of millions from your home. That's Mike Collins.

I have seen some people try to characterize this as scaremongering, but the point is fascists don't have to have a good plan to cause chaos, they just have to cause chaos all they need is enough to sow doubt and be able to say the election results are in question

Blanche on the Trump administration deporting people to third countries where they have no connection: "This idea that we're violating human rights and the president and US is doing something to damage and put these people in harm's way is just categorically false"
