This is exactly what Donald Trump will do after November 3rd: lie about the elections.
Benjamin Netanyahu is now claiming the election was stolen from him by Arab parties. This is the new blueprint for all right-wing fascists when they lose.

"The core of the rule of law is that no one is above the law. Now, more than ever in American history, it is urgent that we reaffirm this and apply it to those who have violated the law. The rule of law is non-partisan; indeed, its very essence is that everyone should be treated equally under the law." - Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of UC Berkeley School of Law & Advisory Council Member of The Rule of Law Project.

I totally agree! We can also pass laws that are going to help people and this at the same time
The world is largely giving the American people a "pass" while witnessing Trump's war crimes, lies, rape, treason, theft, and people dying because of him. They want and EXPECT us to deal with him, and not just at the ballot box! Failure to use every tool in our toolbox -- yes, impeachment -- paints us as being ok with Trump. We are NOT ok with Trump!

Judge David Carter: "Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch. In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too."

Pardons are bought and sold. Contracts are steered to friends and family. Bribes are solicited and received in broad daylight. โžก๏ธ No one is charged. American communities are terrorized by armed, masked government agents. People are held in detention under the cruelest of conditions. Citizens are shot and killed on city streets. โžก๏ธ No one is held to account. We exist to change that. Help us restore the expectation that the criminal conduct has consequences. zeffy.com/en-US/donation-forโ€ฆ

โ€œA Trump representative allegedly invited Keul upstairs to meet with him. According to the report, Keul believed the meeting could help advance her career and education. Once inside a suite, Trump allegedly grabbed her from behind and raped her, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body. Keul described the alleged assault as โ€˜brutal.โ€™โ€

Then you know what these FBI agents should do? They should publicly right now tell the President of the United States to take a hike. And if Trump orders them to seize ballots, they should defy the order, hold a press conference and tell the country what the traitor in the White House just ordered them to do. Itโ€™s time that people in the DOJ & FBI put their country first and speak publicly. Itโ€™s past time.

This is not good. Russell Vought is the author of Project 2025, which Trump has been faithfully executing since Day 1. Project 2025 is based on unitary executive power. Here are the things they've already done: - Replaced career civil servants - Direct control of the DOJ and "law enforcement" - Dismantling independent agencies - Bypassing Congress for funds that were already appropriated Here's what's left: - Using emergency powers It advocates for aggressive deployments of executive authority, including misusing the Insurrection Act to suppress domestic protests or bypass traditional legislative checks. There's always a tell with Trump. "In a few weeks." The midterms is his Coup 2.0.
Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

I wouldnโ€™t want to be the Greek shipowner whoโ€™s transporting the Russian diesel to the US right now. Only congress has the authority to lift sanctions (regardless of Trumpโ€™s executive order) and this shipowner is in a potential world of legal problems in the future if he unloads the oil in the US.
NEW!! In a letter to the head of shipping firm EASTMED, Sen. Blumenthal demands a tanker carrying nearly 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel reverse course before reaching New York/New Jersey, warning the shipment could violate U.S. law. He also demands answers by Oct. 31 ๐Ÿ‘‡
