@samlitzinger The stakes: “The #Wisconsin Supreme Court race comes as the court is expected to rule on #abortion rights, congressional #redistricting, union power and voting rules that could affect the 2026 #midterms and the 2028 presidential #election.
We are all "temporary" legal residents now. Actually the MAGA

Fuck #Schumer
Nobody is normalizing or accepting Schumer the spineless turd
The problem is arguments to not #vote and give us #Trump
That choice matters more than your point
Meanwhile, until #midterms #midterms2026, we #primaries2026 the fuck out of these centrist milquetoast centrist corporatist shit dems
And if someone doesn't vote in the #primaries?
Then they can shut the fuck up because actions speak louder than words on their supposed ideals
Show the fuck up #America
Fight!
more thoughts on #trump from ugo bardi
(who is still being a antivaxxer and i have still beef with 
)
but what he has to say on this is still worth thinking about.
he is the fast-#collapse-of-#complexity-guy
i strongly agree with him , the #midterms are a huge leverage point no one seems to have on the radar.

Whiny voices soon on #Mastodon:
"both sides the same"
"i oddly focus on only one issue where #Democrats aren't perfect"
"nothing matters, all is #corruption"
and other #toxicIdealism #psyop
these are not organic voices
they will trumpet their #leftism bonafides like Russian #trolls on Twitter with #MAGA flags but they are #agentProvocateur divide and conquer
don't get me wrong:
yes, the Democrats suck
but if you don't see the choice?
oof 
Republicans voted to CUT Medicaid
Vote them out. Repubs are a crime org.
Fire them!
SHiT that isn't true: Conman Trump promised to lower prices on day one, but costs have only gone up.
When you elect a dangerous criminal.
@KimPerales
This is your reminder that no one who fires tens of thousands of voters, impacting hundreds of thousands of lives, ever intends to be faced with the consequences of another election.
“Get out and vote for me this time and you’ll never have to vote again.”

Mike Johnson is Living With an Evangelical Influence Seeker — ProPublica
Of course election denier liar Speaker Mike Johnson is living in the $3.7 million DC home of an election-denying, policy-driving "evangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as 'a delusional lie' and called multinational institutions 'demonic'"'...

What are the top 3 things you think people can be doing right now to make a difference in the 2026 #midterms?
To those wondering when the #Democrat pushback will come, it won't.
Their strategy is "we told you so."
The sad thing is it will likely work.
I predict Trump will lose his #House and #Senate majorities after the #midterms ... then they'll successfully impeach him.
Then we'll go back to "fascist lite" business as usual #WallStreet boot licking.
The way to prevent business as usual is to PRIMARY the incumbent democrats.
That is what made the #TeaParty so wildly effective in shifting this country to the so hard to the right.
Primary the business as usual democrats. Take. Them. Out.

@hannu_ikonen @scottreyns I’ve known too many good ppl in and have had too many good times there to say that, but come #midterms, some of their leadership? 
- When you believe you have a political mandate 
- Find out voters disagree 
- Refuse to recognize feedback 
- Cancel engagement with reality 
- Next stop #MidTerms 
@jwildeboer America mainly has paper ballots but we don’t have hand counts except when results are contested. What America needs in the coming midterms is hand counts & ballot preservation for a longer period. Both of which need to be addressed now.

#DonaldTrump is allowing #ElonMusk to take over the US #Treasury and the #IRS for the purpose of accessing your personal information.
Why?
So they can use your information to impersonate you and #vote in your place in the 2026 #midterms & 2028 #PresidentialElections.
That's why he said that once he's president, you won't have to vote anymore
#America is dying, People.
The #Dictatorship has begun.
Whatever must be done to preserve your #Democracy must be done now.

RE
changed their #voter registrations
That's a good idea, some of the 89 million _registered_ who did not vote in the Nov 2024 election, change your err... party? from Independent or Republican to the Democratic Party. But, these changes will not been reported widely, but maybe it will get some registered folks to #VOTE2026

"A Virginia Commonwealth University program that helps teach computer skills to high schoolers was targeted as wasteful or discriminatory by the Trump administration." - anyone have a free link to this WaPo story?
The lawsuits against the #Trump administration are now ramping up. While I recognize that some of these cases may ultimately fetch up in a #Trump sympathetic #SCOTUS, the job now is to curb #Musk vandalism, put #SandInTheGears, and work towards the 2026 #MidTerms

#USAG Pam Bondi has eliminated #DoJ's Campaign Interference Division, created in 2017 by DJT himself.
Given Trump's many past denunciations of US #Elections, one can only assume he's setting the stage for his own (and #Russia's) future election interference. Like the #Midterms in 2026.
Not even subtle.
TRUE, they want the
