Remember when Nelson blew the whistle that Russia was inside Florida’s voter registration system, & Rick Scott implied he was crazy, but Nelson was right & then Scott defied the polls to win the race after an unusually high number of mail ballots in South FL weren’t returned? 1/
4/ In Broward, the senate race was also placed in a bizarre location beneath the instructions. But this does not explain how DeSantis also defied the polls to win the governorship.
10/ Nelson was right, & Scott was wrong. The FBI under Chris Wray had decided to conceal the hacking from the public and even state election officials. Mueller finally confirmed it.
15/ I don’t know what the Senate Intelligence Report meant by “scanned.” But Jeh Johnson (Secretary of Homeland Security under Obama), told the author of the book Rigged that, as a general matter, “If you could scan it, if you could probe it, you could alter it.”
17/ Yes, there was a recount of the Senate race, but it was a sham due to Florida’s sham recount law. Weird how the Republican-led state legislature hasn’t moved to fix this...
18/ “[T]he method Florida uses to conduct election recounts is not a true recount of voter ballots, but simply a rescan of ballots through the same machines that initially counted them.”
19/ “If problems with the software — either through glitches or hacking — produced faulty results the first time, they will reproduce the same faulty results during a rescan.”
20/ “Dan McCrea, president of Florida Voters Foundation, calls it a “faith-based” rather than “evidence-based” election. ‘[Election officials] just sort of trust the machines, trust the vendors, trust insiders,” he says,’ and we shouldn’t have to [do that].’”
21/ According to @SEGreenhalgh, there were voter registration system anomalies or other problems in Florida (and numerous other states) in 2018.
22/ Too many states are not acting to protect their elections. It’s why we still need the #SAFEAct election-security bill, which would at least protect federal races by, among other things, banning wireless modems and requiring robust manual audits for all federal races.
23/ We also need a federal law requiring public disclosure of election-system breaches unless such disclosure would impede an active investigation. #Transparency#Accountability
Remember when Trump:
* Posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat next to a photo of Alvin Bragg?
* Mocked MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for getting hit with a rubber bullet?
* Praised Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter?
* Joked about the assault on Paul Pelosi? 1/
The Daily Signal—launched by Heritage—gushes that JD Vance & Trump have “Orchestrated Deal to Save TikTok”
They omit that, as of June, prospective buyers include Oracle founder Larry Ellison (who helped Heritage w/ a Project 2025 database) & Thiel ally Marc Andreessen’s a16z. 1/
2/ Link to the Daily Signal article, which says nothing about Ellison, Oracle, Andreessen, or a16z. dailysignal.com/2025/09/15/how…
3/ “A consortium of companies, including Oracle [founded by Larry Ellison] … & a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), is back in the running to acquire TikTok. As reported by Bloomberg [in June]

The Daily Signal gushes that JD Vance (Peter Thiel’s protégée) & Trump have “Orchestrated Deal to Save TikTok,” adding that the US-backed buyer has yet to be named.

👀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/
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/
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
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/
