LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?

TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter

LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Trump cut off supplies of Sidewinder missiles for Ukraine’s F-16s, which limited their ability to prevent Russian strikes on Ukraine’s cities during the dead of winter when Putin ramped up attacks. And yet, when we need help with interceptor drones for Iran, Ukraine offered them without hesitation.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections.

Here you go, I list and explain them one by one.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Trump Opens Marine National Monument in Atlantic to Commercial Fishing

"President Trump moved on Friday to allow commercial fishing in the only marine national monument in the Atlantic Ocean, an area the size of Connecticut that is home to dolphins, endangered whales, sea turtles and ancient deep-sea corals."

This kind of stuff gets lost in the news cycle.

TIME magazine just released its new cover focused on Minneapolis, calling it “The Siege of an American City.” More than 3,000 federal agents have been deployed in the city in what’s being described as the largest immigration enforcement operation in U.S. history.

Absolutely outrageous.
