🚨Trump will use the Justice Department to hunt for evidence of nonexistent 2020 election fraud and fire prosecutors who worked his criminal cases.
Trump's DOJ agenda isn't about justice — it’s about revenge and dismantling our democracy.
Here's why you should care. ⬇️
Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ would set a dangerous precedent.
He plans to use the DOJ to investigate political enemies and fabricate fraud claims.
This isn’t about election independence — it’s about silencing dissent and consolidating power. wapo.st/3YUkH3W

🚨Trump is demanding Republican senators help him sidestep the Constitution.
His push to fill government positions without U.S. Senate approval is an attack on America's checks and balances.
We’ve seen this playbook before in history. It should alarm you. ⬇️
Trump’s plan to sidestep U.S. Senate approval for his key appointments isn’t just a minor change — it’s a major step toward a fascist government.
HOLY SHIT. Election deniers are training volunteers across the country to confront election officials + pressure them not to certify election results.
They're saying they need to create a "righteous" "mob" to stop certification, or we're headed to a "civil war."
Crazy. ⬇️
Election denier David Clements traveled across the country simulating election certification meetings to train volunteers on pressuring election officials to withhold certification. lawfaremedia.org/article/david-…

🚨Georgia's election is at risk.
Despite courts blocking the MAGA Election Board's "unconstitutional" rule changes, the threat of election deniers disrupting democracy looms.
Here's how MAGA allies plan to plunge Georgia into chaos and help Trump challenge the results. ⬇️
.@AriBerman and @JustinGlawe have a new story out breaking down how Trump-connected election deniers are driving MAGA’s efforts to help Trump contest the 2024 election.
Knowing MAGA's voter purges aimed at non-citizens will remove American citizens, who are eligible to vote, the MAGA Supreme Court Justices allow it to go forward.
Alabama did this with a 22% error rate, 22% of their list was American citizens.
This is voter suppression.
MAGA-aligned groups have filed about 50 lawsuits across battleground states, backed by sham evidence, aiming to undermine confidence in the 2024 election. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Today on @FaceTheNation, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger pushed back on some of Trump's election lies.
But Raffensperger also made misleading claims of his own.
Let’s clear things up. ⬇️
When questioned about the Trump-endorsed Georgia Election Board, which passed election rules blocked by courts as unconstitutional, Raffensperger somehow shifted blame to @ReverendWarnock & @StaceyAbrams instead of confronting election deniers in his own party.
