During a ceremony for the U.S. Naval Academy football team, President Trump, exhibiting a bruised hand, boasted about his health, citing former White House physician Ronny Jackson’s claim that he could live to 200 if he avoided junk food.

The idea of a presidential emergency order specifically designed to seize control of elections is reportedly “being prepared,” according to a key ally. This notion stems from the belief that such an executive action is considered “Plan A” by those pushing for former President Donald Trump to have unilateral authority over electoral processes. The stated justification for this drastic measure is the unsubstantiated claim that foreign entities, specifically China, somehow penetrated and influenced the 2020 election. This line of reasoning is being propagated by individuals known for spreading election denial and conspiracy theories, who assert that Trump is resolute in preventing future elections, such as the upcoming 2026 midterms, from being “stolen.”… Continue reading
Despite a Supreme Court ruling against his use of emergency powers for tariffs, the president reportedly plans to pursue similar tactics for election interference. He is allegedly considering an executive order to declare a national voting emergency, citing a law the Court found inapplicable to tariffs. This proposed order is driven by conspiracy theories about foreign interference in the 2020 election, promoted by long-time Republican operatives involved in past smear campaigns. Election denialism, fueled by these tactics, is presented as the president’s most lasting impact on political culture.

According to recent reporting, individuals associated with former President Trump are reportedly exploring the declaration of a national emergency to potentially seize control of the upcoming November elections. This alleged plan, outlined in a draft executive order, centers on claims of Chinese interference in the 2020 election as justification for extraordinary presidential power over voting. This strategy echoes historical tactics used by authoritarian leaders to consolidate power by suspending civil liberties and rigging democratic processes under the guise of crisis. The article argues that such actions, if unchecked, represent a grave threat to American democracy and can only be prevented by widespread public awareness and opposition.

The prospect of an executive emergency order granting a president extraordinary control over elections is a deeply unsettling one, and a recently surfaced draft order has understandably sparked significant concern and debate. At its core, this draft appears to be an attempt to bypass established legal and constitutional processes, asserting presidential authority in areas traditionally reserved for states and Congress. The language within the order suggests a fundamental misunderstanding, or perhaps a deliberate disregard, for the separation of powers that underpins the American system of government.
One of the most striking elements of the draft is its provision mandating that voters re-register anew for future elections, and that this registration must occur in person at specific county offices.… Continue reading
Despite redactions, a 21-page slideshow within the FBI files details allegations from a woman who claims she was assaulted by Trump in the mid-1980s when she was a minor. The woman stated Epstein introduced her to Trump, who then allegedly forced her to perform oral sex, after which Trump punched and kicked her out. This account aligns with details provided by “Jane Doe 4” in a separate victim lawsuit, who reported similar abuse, including being slapped and raped by a prominent man associated with Epstein. The inclusion of these FBI interview records in discovery materials for Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial has raised concerns that President Trump could be subject to blackmail.
