ShazamIam's JournalHow Trump plans to block Democrats from voting in future elections. (Why we can't count on the 2026 Midterms.) 13 mins.
I believe the only reason Trump won in 2024 is with successful voter suppression.
This video is from Anthony Davis of 5 Minute News and provides the details of how it was done and how with new legislation now in Congress it will be made more difficult to vote in 2026.
This is why I hope the Democratic Party will focus on helping voters get registered including setting up a fund to help with the fees needed to obtain copies of marriage certificates needed by married women who took their husband's name because without that a birth certificate is not enough. I just had to order a marriage certificate in California the cost is $17 and is needed for the new, Real ID, and to renew my passport which I unfortunately allowed to expire too long ago for renewal without new documents.
Locally and individually, we can help people in our communities obtain the forms and applications to get copies of their necessary to register to vote documents.
Aviation expert predicts cause of deadly Washington plane crash. A rational explanation of the air crash: 2:51 mins.
There are countless speculations & claims about the very tragic airplane/helicopter crash. This is the most rational, but still speculative explanation I have seen so far today.
Warning-to-Whistleblowers-We-Are-Back-in-the-Days-of-the-Red-Scare: from Mother Jones
This is something I have been worried about recently and I appreciate that Mother Jones has provided an article about it. I do believe that Trump will see that whistleblowers are punished for coming forth with the truth.
His most high-profile whistleblower case, however, was that of the intelligence officer who reported to an inspector general that then-President Donald Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to find political dirt on his presidential rival. While dangling military aid to Ukraine that Congress already had approved, Trump asked Zelenskyy to investigate the family of Joe Biden, a leading Democratic contender to face Trump in 2020. This whistleblowers 2019 report led to Trumps first impeachment case.
The case of that whistleblowerwhose identity Zaid has never revealed publiclywas far from the first time a concerned citizen came forward with potentially damaging information about the government: In 2002, FBI special agent Coleen Rowley wrote a letter to then-FBI Director Robert Mueller alleging that the agency failed to properly investigate a terrorist later found to be connected to the September 11 attacks. Another whistleblower was military police officer Joseph Darby, who informed the Army Criminal Investigation Division of pictures showing US military personnel torturing inmates at Iraqs Abu Ghraib prison in 2004.
More at: Government employees who report possible malfeasance are almost certain to be targeted by the second Trump administration. Mark Zaid is a lawyer likely to represent some of them; over the past two decades, he has provided legal counsel to a long list of federal employees and intelligence officers, including whistleblowers.

Elon Musk takes aim at MacKenzie Scott again for giving billions to liberal causes, calling the gifts 'concerning'
This paragraph is from near the bottom of the article:
From the top of the article:

More details about JFK assassination keep emerging, even 61 years later-(unseen before bit of video in article )
Sixty-one years ago, on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, in a shocking tragedy that still echoes.
The JFK assassination sent the nation into mourning and shook it to its core, as Americans searched for answers. Hundreds of books have been written on it along with multiple films and documentaries, with bits and pieces of information continuing to emerge to this day.
It even figured in the 2024 presidential campaign. President-elect Donald Trump, himself a victim of an assassination attempt, promised to declassify all government records about the Kennedy assassination, according to the Associated Press.

They can't take power until Jan 20, and SCOTUS granted immunity and power to Biden. I hope his advisers use all that nt.
We have until Inauguration day, Jan.20, 2025 to act, knowing all the while we will be watched and targeted for, what? nt
I think we should stop conceding and call for counting all the votes to be counted. Trump claimed victory in 2020 and it
wasn't until Saturday that it was clear Biden had won. And remember the national media favors the Republicans.
Sunday LOL! Panel roasts photoshopped image of JD Vance: 'They ran it through a 'yassified' filter'
Republicans have gone overboard in trying to defend JD Vance's debate performance. But the most awkward defense came from GOP Congressman Mike Collins, who posted a photoshopped or "yassified" image of Vance. MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin breaks it down with Danielle Moodie and MSNBC Daily's Hayes Brown.
