I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

it's still just striking to me that we're five weeks into this, and neither trump nor musk are offering up any treats, to anyone. everything is bad news. everything makes life harder. the only thing they're offering is a tax cut for *extremely* wealthy people, at the expense of *everyone* else.

They have a plan. They have a date. We're one day closer.
sucks so many people had to get hurt for this.
Sorry but that really is the most idiotically pointless thing to tweet/post.
It's not idiotic to ask about tactics, organizing, events.
*Literal closed door R reps are sweating about the midterms
*Musk is no longer publicly owning DOGE
*They're playing cat and mouse with the courts
I'm kinda tired of this talking point because nobody ever explains how it's going to happen.
You mean SAVE Act, but that implies that R's can pass bills but... Well they can't even pass bills to fund their own paychecks. So again shove it in the conspiracy box.
He can invoke the Insurrection Act, but that is not the same thing and doesn't allow suspension of elections.
Data doesn't lie, and the data is fucked.
He's also trying to ensure that no one who has ever changed their name will be able to vote
Meaning married women, even with birth certificate and marriage license, still won't be allowed to vote
Nor will trans people
Again, the federal government does not control elections. He has no authority over them.
What's to stop him from taking over the elections, too?
Apparently there's simply no one who can stop him from doing anything

Because him and his teenage mutant ninja turtles hacked the 2020 election and will hack the midterms. Trump is gone without Elon and he knows it.
Trump is a Russian agent. THIS IS A PUTIN COUP.
HEY MEDIA: TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN AGENT. PUTIN IS TAKING OVER THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. WHAT THE HELL MORE EVIDENCE DO YOU NEED?

The legacy media won’t say anything their republican owners won’t allow.
Ammo is not scarce.
Given the confidence Scott Jennings displays in his built in 7% electoral advantage, maybe they're right.
Was Trump really elected in 2024? You may rightly doubt it.
I really want to believe but everything just feels so hopeless. Please tell me I'm wrong.
It would be such a fascinating topic of discussion if it all wasn't so terrifying.
Future elections are moot.
With very mixed emotions.
So here it is Day 2 of the series- American Oligarchs: Out of the Shadows.
One person's satirical look forward to the ultimate clash of Trump and Musk.
Welcome to-The Clash of the Titans.
Well worth the read. Hope you'll enjoy the ride!
No midterms. They are acting like they don’t NEED votes. 🚨
A right wing reporter derailed everything tonight. Things were civil until Brian Glenn accosted Zelensky for not wearing a suit. That lit the fuse.
We have recognize the right wing press has been sabotaging the west for decades. They must be stopped.

Privately they are pissing themselves.
Do these guys seem like people who care about fair elections??
In Elon's mind, it's an epic heist. He thinks he'll live.
For Donny, it's the last wrecker mission of a broken man. Or he hopes maybe some more stolen secrets will push the Furies back.
For their clients, it's the end of the nation believed indispensable to the postwar era.
wake. the. f. up.
I'm leaning slightly towards the former for Trump and Elon and their crowd ending in pardons for all as they laugh their way to the bank. But the GOP is hoping it's the latter, because otherwise they're fucked but can't split from Trump.
He is following all the same steps, that is the last step.
fun while it lasted
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
" A democratically elected fascist does not go away quietly"
And yet people somehow continue to assume it'll be business as usual.
Violence is inevitable, IMO.
Cambridge Analytica on steroids.
They'll just continue suppressing votes & cheating in a million ways. Democrats will just tell us to vote harder again.

I hope that comment is understood by your followers.
I so agree. The idea that there will be elections in 2026 is preposterous.
Remember, it only took Hitler 53 days to dismantle the democracy of Germany
Ugh......hope is fading
Europe is an historic association of cultures, whereas the US is the mess left behind 👇🤢
and
if it's not obvious to everyone that the orange faced rapist plans on passing the oval office to the Trump Crime Family before he goes,
then they're not listening.
If you can’t say it, you can’t fight it.
I don't think they are playing 3D chess with this.

I bet they’ll have the elections on Twitter too. Because “Elon knows those vote counting machines so well.”
Governor’s races in VA and NJ will be a test run.
It will not surprise me if a (sham) “investigation”is announced re: Spanberger and her role in handling classified info at the CIA.
Hint: It’s not for shooting kids or minorities.
But, America seems to be intent on proving that they never had any principles, courage or ethics.
