Ds made no effort to assess the legitimacy of the GOP’s poll-defying & otherwise dubious wins in 2020.
By contrast, Trump claimed w/o proof that the election was rigged against HIM, even tho he outperformed the polls & his own party had blocked efforts to secure the election.1/
13/Again, the GOP won all 27 House races that were rated as tossups, and flipped three supposedly safe blue House seats. The Democrats flipped no red House seats. This was the blue wave that wasn’t.

16/ “I was struck…that the Republicans will accept no— repeat, no —cybersecurity standards. And I pointed out that right now…you can have a voting machine with an open connection to the internet…And the Rs objected and then sat down..” - @RonWyden, 2020 link.medium.com/qhfOF0L9Ejb
17/. If we have a repeat in 2022, it’s over.
18/ So how do we stop the Democrats from conceding our democracy—without even conducting meaningful audits—in the next election? Seriously, how? The new voting rights bill has many good things, but it does not require audits in 2022. Rather, it phases them in starting in 2024.
“As of three weeks ago, 172 of these individuals [pardoned by Trump] had pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement. By their own admission, they assaulted police. About 140 officers were injured, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the following day. Four officers who responded that day have since died by suicide.” 1/25/25 (Link in post 2.)

Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
