Politics, Corruption & Criminality

So where did Trump get this idea that hurricane aid was being parceled out on a partisan basis, with Biden allies getting preference over those backing Republicans? That is what he did to Democratic states when he was in office.

In spite of the fact that he found no evidence of widespread voter fraud, Ohio's Republican Secretary of State is removing many thousands of voters from the rolls who in all probability would vote for Democrats.

The idea that a former president would weaponize people’s pain for his failing campaign is totally on brand for this rapist-felon-conman-grifter who lies as easily as he breathes.

Election deniers are running for election administration jobs in some states. What would it look like to make changes they want to see?

DeSantis was always a rage-hampered little man, but now that he’s been humiliated on the national stage and his presidential aspirations squashed like a palmetto bug, he’s only gotten angrier. And he’s taking it out on Florida.

The Electoral College system essentially identifies the states where malicious people who want to alter or undermine the election results should focus their energies.

We may laugh at Republicans arguing Black people can never be true citizens, but militia-style white supremacist Christian nationalist rightwingers take this sort of thing very seriously.

The architects of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, Steven Miller and Ken Cuccinelli have laid out a second term that would expand the use of executive authority to carry out mass deportations and curtail legal immigration.
