‘We want to take over’: All the (recent) times Trump has talked about controlling elections Trump's allies are starting to translate his anti-democratic statements into actions.

NEW: The mask has slipped.

Donald Trump is no longer just talking about subverting elections — he’s laying the groundwork to do it. As the 2026 midterms approach, the threat to our right to vote has never been more explicit.

Here are 7 recent warning signs you need to know👇

"He’s such a shill he can’t even defend the constitution he swore to protect.

Think about his answer. Really think about it—There was no stolen election. He betrays all he is an ever was for fantasies, lies and a man found liable for sexual assault." - Fmr. Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA05)

Mike Johnson is one of the worst, most disgusting, craven, disgraceful, anti-democratic, etc. people in all of American history. bluevirginia.us/2026/02/tues... h/t @denverr.bsky.social

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Trump says Republicans should 'nationalize' elections, take control from states President Trump said Republicans should try to "nationalize" elections as he keeps leveling unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Trump wants to seize our elections and take away your right to vote so he can stay in power.

It’s un-American, authoritarian and dangerous.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Secretary Brooke Rollins couldn’t tell me how much the daily SNAP benefit actually is — but she’s confident $3 can buy a piece of chicken, broccoli, a corn tortilla, and somehow feed a family.

That tells you everything you need to know.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Scoreboard showing 10-0 vote.

After a Senate subcommittee recommended reporting/referring my bill SB4 for universal free school breakfast by a 5-0 vote last week, a House of Delegates subcommittee just voted 10-0 to do the same for Del. @ebpforva.bsky.social’s companion bill HB96. Great start to session for feeding hungry kids!

These 19 swing districts are the Democrats’ best chance to take control of the House in 2026.

Democrats in ALL 50 STATES need to support these races.

This is the only path to flipping the House.

Whether you donate money or donate your time, every action counts.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

In less than ONE month, my administration will get to work to enact our Affordable Virginia Agenda.

Working with our General Assembly, we’ll lower healthcare, energy, and housing costs in 2026 — and beyond.

It’s time to put Virginia families first.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?”
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.

‘Transgender’ putting  describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly.

You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

"Now. 219 Rs-213 Ds
Dec. 3. If Ds win in TN-->219-214
Jan. 6. MTG gone -->218-214
Jan. 31. After TX18 special ----> 218-215
April 16. If Ds hold NJ11 special --->218-216

THAT is a 0-vote margin." - Lisa Desjardins

Dems will almost certainly win TX18 and NJ11, so...yeah, as @LisaDNews points out, the TN07 special election (in an R+10 district) is even more important. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/frid...

Spreadsheet of VA governor results going back to 1945

Of course, VA Dems and Rs were VERY different back in the 1940s, 50s, etc. than they are today, but still...Spanberger's margin was the biggest for a VA Dem governor candidate since 1961 and the third-biggest governor candidate margin overall since 1961. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/12-m...
