This sounds problematic. Maybe bombing random watercraft and fiery rhetoric such as, “I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. OK? We're going to kill them,” wasn’t exactly the strategic flex he thought it was. www.defensenews.com/global/the-a...

The Supreme Court could soon give President Trump the green light to deploy troops throughout the nation in response to protests against his policies. At the bottom of this slippery slope is a nation in which fundamental freedoms are no longer guaranteed.

www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/... I found this entertaining in a patronizing way. It’s easy to see this reporter didn’t do a lot of research on the data @electiontruthalliance has made readily available on their website. ETA also doesn’t “deny” the results of the 2024 election.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

ETA's Nathan Taylor will be joining virtually as a special guest. We hope to see you there!

One of our biggest challenges is explaining statistics in simple and accessible terms—but we're going to keep on trying! This Turnout Binning Test provides a summarized view of vote share between candidates from low turnout precincts to high turnout precincts.

A 🧵 worth reading: In late 2020 and 2021, Trump-aligned operatives illegally gained access to voting equipment, software, and data. This was part of a multi-state effort now considered "the most severe election security breach publicly known." (1/15)

It’s 12 minutes out of the day and worth listening. Nathan is former military has a background in cybersecurity. He’s not advocating storming the capitol. He is however about to file some lawsuits to request an audit of 2024 election results. youtu.be/v-wzeK0bLtM?...

While I generally agree with the Brennan Center and commend their efforts to ensure election integrity, I’m not sure our elections have withstood the pressure. I think groups like @smartelections.bsky.social & @electiontruthalliance.org have some valid concerns and data to back it up.

In the 2024 U.S. election, "a superintendent of schools in the state of North Carolina consistently outperformed Kamala Harris". As Rev. Mark Thompson requested, just think about that for a minute. Will you reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears? #TheMathAintMathin #AuditsNow

In a 3 part plan, the GOP plans to gerrymander 42 House seats away from Democrats.

NEW VIDEO: Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer left Texas to deny Republicans a quorum and block their gerrymandered map. He sat with me to discuss the threats to him and his colleagues, Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Paxton's internal battle, and what’s next in the redistricting fight.

The DOJ has been on the hunt for sensitive voting data from states. Although some states have turned over the requested information, others, like: 📍Maine 📍Minnesota 📍New Hampshire have denied the demands altogether.

Interesting precedent to set considering Democratic leaders in CA & NY are preparing to counter TX.

“A comprehensive assessment of the post-election audits in seven swing states in 2024 found that most don’t meet baseline conditions to provide evidence-based election results, nor are they sufficient to act as safeguard against possible errors or tampering.

It’s understandable to be skeptical of election tampering claims, especially after 2020. It’s irresponsible to dismiss evidence of anomalies detected in the 2024 data that warrant further investigation. Ensuring election integrity is important to maintain voter confidence and fair elections.

Reviewing individuals’ social media to conduct ideological vetting has been a defining initiative of President Trump’s second term. Here’s an overview of this collection process and how the information is used. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

"We don't need socialism. We need public-private partnerships." After Zohran Mamdani's historic primary victory in New York, establishment Democrats are already copying his signature videos. Zeteo produced our own (fake) centrist Democrat featuring Zeteo senior producer @heycappello.bsky.social.

Turnout analysis has been used for over 20 years to identify fraud in Russian elections. If a candidate receives a high % of votes, but disproportionately receives those votes in places with very high voter turnout, it may be an indicator of artifically inflated vote counts. #VerifyTheVote
