- Reposted by Lauten Bouvier-KielyTrump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority. The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

- Reposted by Lauten Bouvier-KielyIn my opinion the ONLY thing we should be seeing and hearing about in the news is the intentional destruction of our Republic and what is being done to stop it. I see this at the level of the 9/11 attacks when no matter what network you watched it was NONSTOP COVERAGE. WTF, is it just me?

- Reposted by Lauten Bouvier-KielyNo executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections.

- Reposted by Lauten Bouvier-KielyWith these words, Democrats sue Trump & his admin for an EO requiring Americans to show proof of citizenship (which can be tough & expensive for some people) before they can register to vote. There is no evidence of significant fraud. This is an outright effort to suppress Democratic votes.

- Reposted by Lauten Bouvier-KielyJust read the full Atlantic article about the Houthi group chat. One part that stuck with me is when they say “God Bless” and send prayer emojis to each other after killing 53 people who they considered enemies because they killed others in the name of their God.
