"I only need 11,000 votes, fellas. I need 11,000 votes. Gimme a break."
In case anyone forgot: the only person caught trying to rig the 2020 election was Donald Trump—and it's on tape.
Every accusation from this insecure little man is projection.
NEW: Democrats are demanding an immediate briefing from DHS after it systematically gutted our election security and left officials in the dark about threats.
With Americans already voting, Congress is owed answers directly from the administration.
Just submitted. Hope this helps!
See fraud? It's time to expose it.

The Trump Administration has destroyed FEMA from the inside and is now telling states and Americans facing disaster: you’re on your own.
Utter cowardice from the people responsible for keeping Americans safe.

Did you know ICE can't be sued for defamation even if it intentionally spreads falsehoods about a person with actual malice to destroy their reputation? Now that you know, are you more or less likely to believe what they say?
FACT CHECK. On October 17, 2026, ICE conducted a targeted enforcement operation in Long Beach, California to arrest an at-large criminal illegal alien. During the operation, anti-ICE agitators attempted to impede operations, threaten officers, and damage government vehicles despite officers giving lawful commands. Officers followed their training and used the minimum amount of force.
ICE did NOT hit an individual on a bike. An individual was arrested after he smashed the mirror of a government vehicle. Resisting arrest is dangerous and can result in injury.
The rioter was transferred to the custody of local police, and we are investigating potential charges for the damage to a government vehicle.
ICE law enforcement officers are trained to use the minimum amount of force necessary to resolve dangerous situations to prioritize the safety of the public and our officers. Officers are highly trained in de-escalation tactics and regularly receive ongoing use of force training. The latest ICE use of force policy is available here.
We have seen a highly coordinated campaign of violence against our law enforcement. Our brave law enforcement is facing more than a 1,600% increase in assaults, 3,300% increase in vehicular attacks, and an 8,000% increase in death threats against them. This violence must end. Anybody who lays a hand on our officers or tries to obstruct them is committing a felony and a federal crime.
Republicans spent two years screwing over the American people. Now they’re terrified those same people get to vote.
Trump’s appointees secretly wanted a voting machine hacked. That’s how desperate they are to stay in power.
ProPublica: Trump Appointees Wanted a Voting Machine Hacked
A few months into President Donald Trump’s second term, political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it.
The appointees wanted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to procure the machine, examine it and report back the findings so they could be given to the White House, according to two former administration officials with knowledge of the request.

If you are Hispanic your citizenship means nothing to the Trump Administration.
ICE run over U.S. citizen riding his bike—break his arm.
Agents handcuff him behind his back without calling paramedics.
They inflict even more injuries—send him to the hospital in serious condition.
Then agents detain another U.S. citizen—for yelling at them on the sidewalk.
Man with the broken arm's daughter says he was hit on his e-bike by an unmarked car.
He was then tased twice and pinned to the ground—currently receiving treatment at the hospital.
Multiple ICE vehicles were running through stop signs—speeding the wrong way down one-way streets.
All on a weekend afternoon with kids playing outside.
Incident occurred near the intersection of East 56th Street & Elm Avenue in Long Beach, California.
Stop ICE Net doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length, English translated, and credited video here to help raise awareness.

WOW. Trump’s #2 at DOJ just admitted this:
“There may be some names on there who it turns out ultimately are citizens. We’re not perfect.”
There’s a reason ICE is illegally blocking Members of Congress from inspecting these facilities.
A 56-year-old Mexican man was found dead in a Laredo ICE cell on Saturday. His family says he was denied medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

You were a humiliating failure at DHS and an irrelevant footnote in the fake job they invented for you.
Whatever comes next, we’re confident you’ll give Trump every reason to fire you there, too.
Imagine volunteering to serve your country in the United States Army, only for that same government to lock up your wife and try to deport her while you’re at basic training.
The Trump administration is morally bankrupt.
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. Story with @nancyayoussef theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Heartbroken by the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Oregon.
Praying for the children, families and educators affected by this tragedy.
We must end the scourge of gun violence in America.
Targeted violence and hate have no place in America.
And all Americans deserve to feel safe and secure in their houses of worship.
Together, we must root out the scourge of white supremacist extremism from our communities.
ACLU ATTORNEY: If finding out what happens when a federal officer shoots and kills an innocent man on his way to work is not in the public interest—then I don’t know what is.
REP. CASAR: Violence by ICE and CBP is hurting every corner of the country, but Texas has become the epicenter.
Republicans handed ICE $110 billion in taxpayer money, then skipped town to campaign.
Homeland Democrats are on the ground demanding answers in communities bearing the trauma of ICE’s violence.
If Republicans won’t do their jobs, we will.
Democrats are on the ground in Austin, demanding accountability following the shooting of Wilber Garces-Perez by ICE.
If Republicans won’t do their job and demand answers, Democrats will.
