After our last post, we’ve heard from people reporting voting machine issues in South Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee. We haven’t independently verified these accounts. We also read Stella Parton’s account of having to correct her selection before casting her ballot in Tennessee.

Ukrainians again had no advance warning as ballistic missiles were raining down as Starlink continues to be restricted. And the U.S. has not delivered Patriot interceptors that Europe has paid for. Is anyone in Congress home? Are they ok with helping Russia kill Ukrainians?

Trump’s 9/11 comment that he went down to the scene to help has been a lie he’s repeated for 25 years. It’s his own version of stolen valor. He did nothing except go on TV & brag that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers went down. Which was also a lie.

White House insiders are sounding the alarm that Trump is far more interested in building his own legacy than improving the economy or ending his war with Iran.

BREAKING: Bill Cassidy says he’s a YES on Todd Blanche, solidifying his legacy as the man who enabled RFK Jr. to wreak havoc on Americans’ health, and now the man who will let Blanche weaponize the DOJ like never before seen in history and cover up for Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Voter roll purges are necessary to remove people who have passed away, moved or otherwise become ineligible to vote. But sometimes purges can erroneously include thousands of eligible voters. As the Trump administration ramps up its attacks on voting, make sure you know your registration status:

Trump’s EPA wants to remove public participation and transparency from certain air pollution permits. Those permits cover the large diesel generators that help power data centers — and pollute the air. Trump is selling our right to breathe clean air to enrich his Big Tech donors.

Holy shit! This tour of the White House trail of destruction is painful to watch. Trump isn’t renovating anything. He’s taking a wrecking ball to history & sending us the bill. Based on what we’ve seen so far, this is going to be a shoddy build that will need to be redone sooner rather than later.
