I lost faith in the US govt to tell me the truth re: election security when Comey & @EACgov testified that it wld be really hard to hack an election bc voting machines supposedly don't connect to the internet, & an expert explained on C-Span this was BS.1/ csoonline.com/article/312639…
2/ Here is one of Halderman's C-span videos. c-span.org/video/?c466857…
3/ It was like a death. Never in my life would I have thought my government would lie about something like this. Or, alternatively, be this incompetent. I spent the next three years feeling like I need to try to micromanage the situation bc I didn't trust them anymore.
4/ I know some people think it's bad for me to say this because it undermines voter confidence in elections. But guess what? I started out as an ordinary voter. This is what I found out. And I was horrified. There has been no reckoning for the lies.
5/ Reality Winner, who tried to bring a dose of reality to the situation, remains in prison. I do not trust our government re: election security. I just don't. They have never told us the full truth about 2016. They don't even try to be transparent.
6/ I discovered an objectively seriously problematic situation with America's largest voting machine vendor, ES&S, and not one person in Congress has reached out about it. The EAC wouldn't even comment. It is stonewalling on documents. What kind of banana republic have we become?
7/ PS. Of course I believe Biden won. All the polls predicted it. My concern is with the constant poll-defying Republican wins. And I feel we deserve to know if there was another attempt by Russia to hack this election. And I don’t trust the government to tell us.
8/ And I don’t like that Trump’s lies have scared experts into silence about real vulnerabilities. I’m not close with many of these experts, but I know enough to know that this is happening. Its real. And it’s a problem.
9/ I’d like to have faith that my government would tell me if any election was stolen. Until #RealityWinner is released and we are told a whole lot more about 2016, I will NOT have that faith. We shouldn’t have had to hear from Bob Woodward that Russians planted malware in FL.
10/ We shouldn’t have had to hear from David Shimer that Russia was in a position to edit actual vote tallies in 2016. Why is this info still classified?! Why is #RealityWinner still in prison?!
11/ Why hasn’t @POTUS helped #RealityWinner?
12/ PPS. I shouldn't have to have included post 7 to prove I'm not a Russian shill or MAGA. The burden should be on the government to provide evidence-based elections, making my "belief" irrelevant. Sigh.

👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/ Image

2/ The article was published several weeks ago. Here’s the link: journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/wp-conten…
3/ I’ve been waiting for the article to drop since last year.

While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/ Image
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
3/ Backup. Image

Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/ Image
3/ Note that this reported Trump/Epstein party would have been around the time of Epstein’s 40th birthday. Image

ICYMI, during the 2016 presidential campaign, “Epstein invited [Peter] Thiel and [Thomas] Barrack to separate meetings with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. **** Thiel, who had several interactions with Epstein starting in 2014, according to the documents, said his Oct 2016 meeting with Epstein & Churkin featured ‘nothing memorable.’
‘I was rather naive,’ Thiel said in an interview, ‘and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.’ Barrack, founder of Colony Capital and a longtime Trump ally, declined to comment.” 1/ archive.is/2023.09.03-150…Image

Tulsi’s report seems to me like an attempt to distract. As I detailed on Medium, Obama stated in Dec 2016 that, “We have not seen evidence of machines being tampered with *** That doesn’t mean that we find every single potential probe of every single voting machine across the country. But we paid a lot of attention to it. We worked with state election officials, etc. And we feel confident that that didn’t occur.” 1/Image
If anything, I felt that Obama and others provided false assurances to the public about the legitimacy of Trump’s win in 2016. I explained my concerns in detail here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…Image

A whistleblower alleged that staff of Palantir—co-founded by Facebook investor/director Peter Thiel—had worked w/ Cambridge Analytica (CA) on the FB data it acquired. But a Palantir spokesperson claimed Palantir never had a relationship w/ CA & never worked on its data. 5/2018 1/ Image

3/ “Thiel, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.” Image
