Trump Promises New, Blatantly Unconstitutional Order to End Mail-In Voting Trump Promises New, Blatantly Unconstitutional Order to End Mail-In Voting

BREAKING: In a blatantly unconstitutional move, Trump announces plans for a new executive order aiming to eliminate mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. The Constitution grants states, not the president, the primary authority to regulate elections.

Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;

Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

BIG NEWS: Gov. Greg Abbott has vetoed Texas’ highly controversial THC ban, 30 minutes before the deadline.

I am once again reminding everyone that the President does not get to declare war, that is solely the responsibility of Congress.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

BREAKING: Trump has announced that moments ago the United States has attacked 3 nuclear sites in Iran, specifically Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

The vile hypocrisy of this fascist to break the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 despite Iran’s compliance, and now to attack Iran without reason in 2025.

You must act.
