The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

🚨BREAKING: Two top Democrats in Fulton County, Georgia allege that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lacked the authority for Wednesday’s raid of the county’s central election hub, in which the Feds seized 700 boxes of ballots and other election materials related to the 2020 vote.

Imagine if #Putin was Pam Bondi's boss in 2016. Or, could just send #ice to #Minneapolis to blackmail the concession? Or, threaten all states withholding social net funds, if they don't turn it over. Or, send the #fbi to #Georgia to get the data. In 2016. Which pundits mistake for payback, now.

A new report warns that the number of soldiers killed, injured or missing on both sides of Russia's war on Ukraine could hit 2 million by the spring, with Russia suffering the largest number of troop deaths recorded for any major power in any conflict since World War II. https://to.pbs.org/4rhs4yR

Pundits talk as if #FBI targeting #Georgia election data, #Minneapolis, & as precondition for social funds in 50 states is retributive. Or, to rewrite 2020. No. It's forward looking. Why did the Russians 2016 hack Our registration DBs? To ensure We're free & fair? web.archive.org/web/20250106...

The Trump admin “has overhauled a set of nuclear safety directives & shared them w/ the companies it is charged w/ regulating, without making the new rules available to the public… The sweeping changes were made to accelerate development of a new generation of nuclear reactor designs.” 1/28/26 …1/

If this is true, it’s staggering. You don’t outsource sensitive Pentagon IT to engineers sitting in China and call it “efficient.” Cost savings? No- that’s a national security self-own. Oversight failed, and it needs fixing fast. #CyberSecurity #NationalSecurity #China www.fdd.org/analysis/202...

I would have been unsurprised if the Fulton County DA was targeted by the Administration for investigation, but going directly after the Fulton County elections office is an entirely different and potentially startling development.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

It can't be lost in the shuffle that Newt Gingrich intentionally launched GOP partisan hatred, Mitch McConnell intentionally guaranteed tRump could run again and Roberts intentionally made him above the law. They planned this for decades. They want all of this evil chaos because they can't govern.

I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.
