@nataliegwinters Marc Elias:
Architect of Democratic redistricting and voting law strategies.
Involved in Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier funding, a core element of the Russia probe that critics call politically motivated.
1)
@nataliegwinters Sued Republican legislatures repeatedly to reshape election rules.
Critics say he uses lawsuits not just to win cases, but to drain resources and stall GOP policies.
2)
@nataliegwinters Norm Eisen:
Played a major role in Trump impeachment legal strategy.
Worked on disqualification efforts against Trump under the 14th Amendment, a highly controversial legal path.
3)
@nataliegwinters Critics view this as criminalizing politics, while supporters argue it's about protecting democracy and the rule of law.
Remember the Time magazine article?
The Time magazine article titled “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election”,
4)
@nataliegwinters described how an informal coalition of activists, business leaders, and legal strategists worked behind the scenes to fortify the electoral process and counter efforts to overturn the result
That piece, written by Molly Ball and published in February 2021, details:
5)
@nataliegwinters A cross‑ideological alliance (including left-wing activists and corporate figures like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO) aiming to ensure a free and fair election by bolstering mail-in voting, countering disinformation, and coordinating public messaging.
6)
@nataliegwinters Efforts such as defeating voter suppression lawsuits, recruiting poll workers, and pressuring social media platforms to clamp down on falsehoods.
The idea that this coalition didn't “rig” the election—they “fortified” it against potential chaos and interference
7)
@nataliegwinters This is the "election fortification" article widely discussed in political commentary and referenced in debates around lawfare and influence.

1)
add guaranteed Democrat senators by creating states from Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
Here is my answer to Carville James. Right now, Republicans control all three branches of government.
2)
If you, James, are right that power should be made permanent by changing the system, then why should the Republicans not do, right now, what you suggest the Democrats do? Add four members to the Supreme Court and appoint four conservative-constitutionalists.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "RATIONAL OPTIONS THAT CAN WORK AND THOSE THAT CANNOT —- THE 'PALESTINIAN' PROBLEM.
(İn contrast to solutions that will never work)
1)
FIRST, LET’S LOOK AT WHAT NEVER CAN WORK
Suggestions over the last 80 years have been made that just maybe a bi-national state could be a solution, and in more recent years, a so-called 2-state solution.
2)
I challenge anyone to show me where and how a bi-national state has ever been successful. It’s easy for me to make that challenge because the answer is simply. It has never worked. Sure, some of you will say 'Belgium', but that arrangement has been contentious at best,

Sabine Sterk wrote, "The refugee issue surrounding the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 is often presented as one-sided — w/ the focus solely on Palestinian Arab refugees. However, this omits a crucial part of the story: the Jewish refugees from Arab & Muslim countries 1)
who were forced to flee or were expelled from their ancient communities across the Middle East and North Africa.
Arab refugees from Israel ~ 600,000 - 750,000 1947–1949
Jewish refugees from Arab countries ~ 850,000 - 1,000,000 1948–1970s
2)
So in total numbers, more Jews were displaced from Arab countries than Arabs were displaced from Israel in 1948.
🕍 Jewish Refugees: From Which Countries?
Jews lived in the Middle East and North Africa for over 2,500 years, long before Islam existed or Arab empires rose.

Multi-Millionaire Senator Elizabeth Warren (Pocahontas) who scammed her way up the ladder claiming to be a minority,
1)
has now announced she supports multi-millionaire Socialist and Islamist, antisemite Zohran Mamdani, following the endorsement of multi-millionaire Senator Bernie Sanders who became rich by scamming Election Financing rules,
2)
with Mamdani running a campaign based on lies and paid for by the Tides Foundation (Soros) and the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, both of which have supported Hamas.

1)
Some things people may not know. California is so Gerrymandered now, that while in 2024, 47% of the votes went to Republicans, only 13% of the Congressional Seats are Republican.
2)
But the bigger issues in California are a bit different because they have a governor that wants illegal migrants to bolster the population and even to vote - and to vote as they are told. Some of us may call that intentional and planned fraud against the USA."

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "THE NEWS OUT OF TEXAS ABOUT REDISTRICTING IS INTERESTING. BUT DO AMERICANS REALLY KNOW WHAT “GERRYMANDERING” IS ABOUT?
A long time ago in Boston, there was a politician named Eldrige Gerry.
1)
He wanted to make sure his party won every election, so he ignored any formula that made geographical sense, and drew district lines to guarantee his party victories.
That is where the term Gerrymandering comes from.
2)
And, in most states in the USA, legislatures from time to time have drawn the lines of electoral districts to protect their political interests.
