#Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for #Republicans to “Take Over” #Elections
The comments, made on a conservative podcast, follow a string of moves from his admin to try to exert more control over #US elections.
Trump called in a new interview for the #GOP to “nationalize” voting in the US, an aggressive step that was likely to raise new worries about his admin’s efforts to involve itself in #election matters.

YES!!! This is the best US news I have read all week:
Saturday, a state senate seat special election was won by a Democrat — not just barely, but by a fourteen point lead. And it all went down in the totally woke, ultra blue state of…
[Checks notes…]
Texas. 😳🤯😀
This was District 9 where Republicans won by 17 points in 2024, so I cannot wait to hear Trump claim this was “totally rigged”… by Republican Governor Greg Abbot.
November is coming ladies and gentlemen!
See you at the #midterms! 🙌🏻

You know how hard Trump is losing, when even Mark McCloskey is now working against the Trump regime (Picture 1).
Mark McCloskey was the lawyer who found it appropriate to brandish a Colt AR-15 rifle in his neighborhood next to his wife holding a Bryco Pistol, when people were protesting the murder of George Floyd in Missouri in 2020 (Picture 2).
McCloskey is lawyer for the January 6 rioters, and now he thinks the Trump regime is infringing on his gun rights.
November is coming.

#FBI search in #Georgia shows Trump’s willingness to use…federal #law enforcement to intervene in #election matters in the lead-up to the critical 2026 #midterms, which will determine the extent of his authority for the remainder of his 2nd term.
…Democrats & election security experts say its primary purpose is to #intimidate #Trump opponents while empowering supporters seeking an excuse to take control of the #elections office…& to undermine confidence in the process.

A BBC fact check shows, ICE agents fired 10 shots into the back of nurse Alex Pretti while he was disarmed, face down, and pepper sprayed in the eyes.
The naive will now try to convince the Trump regime that surely, this cannot be the new normal.
The realists will figure out how to respond, because this IS the new normal.
There are 281 days to the midterms. Trump knows he will lose, unless he finds a way to suppress the will of the people. For that, he needs his paramilitary force.
an addendum:
i see an unfortunate sentiment out there
"they intend to block the #midterm #elections... voting is pointless"
some of this is the usual #trollfarm #psyop
some are people genuinely that spineless
you have to fucking #vote
yes the #democrats suck
but they aren't #fascism
it's not a fucking romance, it's just tactics in a larger war
if people don't vote in the #midterms out of whiny weak #prematureCapitulation, we are fucked. and we deserve it
VOTE motherfuckers

In the shadow of media coverage about Trump's Greenland BS, ever growing ICE violence or the brave counter-protests,
the Trump regime is quietly busy rigging the next elections against demographic groups less inclined to vote for Trumpists.
US voters, please read and share this!
Your prep for the #Midterms should start NOW.

It's hard for average citizens of the world to express their rightful displeasure with the #Trump regime
You can start with a #boycott of #Olympics2028 and #WorldCup2026
I say this as an American
Fuck my stupid fucking country
Shun us
As for my fellow Americans:
We HAVE to #vote in the #midterms
#MAGA and nonvoters are our enemies, our downfall. Shame and condemn them

It's time for #Europe, #Africa, #LatinAmerica, #Asia, #Canada and the other participant nations, many of whom have already been refused entry to the #US anyway, to #boycott the #WorldCup. Time to show this orange-faced shitgibbon that we won't be bullied. #America - you now need to stand up to #pedo47 because your legislature won't. Demand they publish the #EpsteinFiles and prosecute those who are complicit in covering up. He's going to try to stop the #midterms from taking place. Don't be caught in the headlights. You already don't have healthcare, you won't have a voice either if you allow this to continue.
