How Trump Has Exploited Pardons and Clemency to Reward Allies and Supporters The presidentโ€™s second term has brought a flood of clemency for allies and donors โ€” as well as felons, like him, who were convicted of financial wrongdoing.

Trump is exploiting his pardon power to grant clemency to political allies, big money donors, and dangerous Jan. 6 insurrectionists - while veterans, small-business owners, and law-abiding citizens are left waiting.

SCOTUS could force states to throw out thousands of on-time ballots in future elections - primarily from military and overseas voters - just because of mail delays.

No eligible voter should lose their voice because the mail was slow.

Justice department allegedly investigating debunked 2020 Georgia election fraud claims Claim, by election deniers, would signal latest step by DoJ in moving away from protecting Americansโ€™ voting rights

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Trump's DOJ is wasting time and taxpayer money โ€œinvestigatingโ€ an election from five years ago that was repeatedly proven fair, free, safe, and secure - instead of doing its job and protecting Americansโ€™ voting rights.

Trumpโ€™s disapproval rating just hit 58%, the highest of his presidency - while Democratic enthusiasm for 2026 is surging.

Americans are tired of the corruption, chaos, and cruelty.

One Year to Defend Elections Trumpโ€™s pardons of Rudy Giuliani and other election deniers are a reminder that the 2026 midterms will face an extraordinary new source of pressure: the federal government itself.

The 2026 elections will be a true test of our democracy. Get out, vote, and support candidates who believe in protecting every citizenโ€™s voice - not undermining it.

Elon Muskโ€™s Grok AI briefly says Trump won 2020 presidential election Chatbot in the past made claims of a โ€˜white genocideโ€™, pushed antisemitism and referred to itself as โ€˜MechaHitlerโ€™

๐Ÿšจ Elon Muskโ€™s AI chatbot - the same one that once called itself โ€œMechaHitlerโ€ - just falsely claimed Trump won the 2020 election.

Remember: Always rely on trusted sources, like your stateโ€™s Secretary of State website, for accurate election information.

Supreme Court to decide whether states can count ballots that arrive after Election Day About 30 states authorize counting mail-in ballots after Election Day.

๐Ÿšจ SCOTUS agreed to hear a case that could stop states from counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day - even if theyโ€™re postmarked on time.

Military, rural, senior, and disabled voters could lose their voice simply because of mail delays.

Today, seven weeks after her election, Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in.

Sec. @adrianfontes.bsky.social is right: Trump is wasting time and taxpayer money trying to relitigate an election that was proven - multiple times by multiple investigations - to be fair, free, safe, and secure.

Trump Throws Decadent Opera and Truffles Rager at Mar-a-Lago The presidentโ€™s ragers show no sign of slowing down even amid the government shutdown.

Just days after asking SCOTUS to continue blocking food assistance for over 42 million working Americans, Trump threw another lavish party at Mar-a-Lago - with heaps of expensive food - while children and families went hungry.

Under Trump, Americans have endured the longest government shutdown in history, the first complete halt of SNAP benefits - ever - and the first time a president has intentionally put at least 42 million people at risk of hunger.

Trump has failed America.

Trump Pardons Rudy Giuliani and Others Involved in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election The pardons of former Trump aides, which would only apply in federal court, are largely symbolic and cannot shield them from ongoing state-level prosecutions.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: Trump just pardoned Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and Sidney Powell - architects of his failed attempt to overturn the will of the people in 2020.

This is a brazen attempt to rewrite history by rewarding a direct attack on our democracy.

Trumpโ€™s already blaming everyone but himself for the GOPโ€™s election disaster - saying he โ€œwasnโ€™t on the ballot,โ€ so it couldnโ€™t have been his fault.

Voters disagree. Exit polls show they turned out BECAUSE of him.
