Trump has never accepted election results and he is only getting worse While Trump has been banging the rigged-election drum for years, it is getting worse.

As Trump threatens this year’s elections, he operates against the cold reality that he has never accepted an election he lost. He won’t accept it when he loses control of Congress this fall. He will try to overturn it however he can, with the full range of tools available to him as president.

The geniuses over at the Washington Post just fired 300 journalists because they alienated their audience in 2024 and 2025. Yet, they are still at it!

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A sad reminder that so much of the media has succumbed to both-sides coverage. They are afraid of Trump and are paralyzed by the new challenges we face.

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

It is going to be lawyers and the courts. That is what it was in 2020. It was in 2022 after the first wave. It will be again in 2026.
