NEW: What if I told you Trump's new executive order could rig elections and give Elon Musk power over who gets to vote?
This isn’t your typical MAGA voter suppression. It’s a blueprint for authoritarian control.
Here's what's in it. ⬇️

The MAGA fever dream executive order requires government-issued, documentary proof of citizenship to use the federal voter registration form — even though only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections and already swear to it on the form, under penalty of perjury.
It gives Elon Musk’s DOGE more power to comb through state voter files.
Based on their track record, this is a recipe for:
• Unprecedented voter purges
• Major Human and database errors
• The disenfranchisement of thousands or even millions of eligible Americans

Only eligible Americans vote. Even conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation (creators of Trump's Project 2025) found just 85 cases where people who were not citizens voted in 2 billion votes cast over the past 20 years. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Trump is trying to rig elections and stop the American people from holding him accountable.
He’s recycling a scheme courts already blocked — and handing it to Elon Musk, whose roots are in apartheid South Africa, to decide who's American enough to vote. brennancenter.org/our-work/court…

The order also targets states that count mail ballots received after Election Day and threatens to cut off federal election funds unless they comply — this could disenfranchise U.S. military personnel and overseas voters. DOJ has warned it may be illegal. democracydocket.com/analysis/what-…
Let’s be clear about the chaos plan here:
1. Elon Musk’s DOGE floods us with so-called "fraud."
2. Then Trump points to the chaos to claim "fraud" and stop eligible Americans from voting.
The goal? More power for Trump. Less power for us.

Just like the massive voter suppression law moving through Congress, this is all about locking the doors to democracy and handing the keys to oligarchs and super rich campaign donors. newsweek.com/save-act-warni…
We've seen this before. Judges have ruled that proof-of-citizenship for federal voter registration is illegal.
The Supreme Court declined to hear appeals, effectively affirming that these mandates on the federal form are illegal and unenforceable brennancenter.org/our-work/court…

We’ve also seen this playbook before: intimidation, disinformation, and distraction.
It’s a power play to scare voters and get headlines (probably to distract from the war plans group chat scandal).

We’ve faced down power-hungry politicians before — and every time, we come back tougher, louder, and more relentless.
