As @mattblaze has discussed a few times, there's a lot of daylight between what Trump says he's going to do about elections, and what he actually has the practical ability to achieve, even without legal arguments.

However, one of his big ones - eliminate mail-in voting, because the "low-information voters" that are the raw #feedstock of #MAGA don't vote by mail - worries me, because of something he might be able to do.

If Trump ordered a #compliant #USPS - it's officially independent, but it's part of the executive branch and run by a Trump #toady - to simply not deliver voting packages or returned ballots - he could effectively end vote-by-mail without even talking to the states, much less getting them to do it legally. And if he did it late enough, the courts might have trouble acting quickly enough to preserve those potential votes.

I really hope some of the orgs trying to recover the #US #constitutional order are thinking about this.

Why not ALL #NYC mayoral candidates present a united front against #fascism at the federal courthouse by standing w/ #migrants threatened by masked #ICE agents & mini - #fascist #toady #EricAdams?

Brave #BariWeiss who prides herself on having the most difficult conversations, saw the #JRE episode with #DaveSmith and #DouglasMurray and chose to invite on the person she agrees with 100%. While #Israel keeps dropping bombs on #Gaza.

Amazon is halting some of its diversity and inclusion programs

The move coincides with activist pressure on U.S. companies to abandon efforts to build a more diverse workforce.

@tezoatlipoca @gemelliz @zenheathen @Snowshadow the premier of Ontario barely scrapes by with a high school leaving certificate, has no collegial or university education, and is an ex-drug dealer. WTF qualifications does he have to be premier? So why expect educated and logical choices in those he promotes to his cabinet? The only thing Ford demands from his ministers is that they kowtow to him.#Lecce is the epitome of Ford choices, a pure unadulterated #toady.

Mike Johnson fought against the impeachment and conviction of Donald Trump when Trump's own words, made publicly available and not denied by Trump, showed he tried to coerce a foreign sovereign to give him dirt on his political opponent. Johnson promises and impeachment of Biden when the evidence has less substance than a fart.
