@cnn.com Surprised and dismayed that Dana Bash didn't challenge Todd Blanche's assertion that state and/or federal government can determine who can run for elected office beyond citizenship and age requirements. Lost opportunity to expose what Trump and DOJ are trying to do in Alaska.

Can't understand why @danabash.bsky.social didn't ask Todd Blanche who gets to determine if voters are confused about candidates. The state? The federal government? That would mean that governments choose who can run for office. @CNN

In a major escalation of its multi-prong attempt to interfere in the midterms, the Trump DOJ has given California 48 hours to take steps to prevent an unknown number of alleged noncitizen voters in LA County from voting—or face legal action, Reuters reports. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

One of my biggest fears:
It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

the GOP is fully trumpified and the rising generation of staffers and wannabes are even worse. if you're between 25-35 and an aspiring right-wing politician you've spent most/all of your adult life in a political and social ecosystem the rewards this shit and weeds out people repulsed by it
A new CNN KFile investigation finds two past accounts from Texas GOP candidate Bo French calling for public executions of government officials, Obama, Adam Schiff, and more. Repeatedly asked Texas GOP, Paxton, Abbott campaigns if they stood by him and got no response. www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

Most of them committed no crime in THIS country. Many were here legally but stuck in the morass of our immigration system. Still, being here without permission is not a criminal offense but a civil one, punishable by a fine and deportation to their HOME country. All with DUE PROCESS intact.

this is a genuinely crazy story
NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.
