Todd Blanche is about to have a bad week. If he loses Thursday’s vote, the humiliation will be historic. If he wins, it’s worse… the job he wants — “yes-man” to a law-breaking Trump — could one day land him in prison. More here: bit.ly/4yNvmOZ

By threatening the midterms, surveys show Trump has inspired unprecedented energy among Democrats. It’s also sent a message to MAGA voters: “You can skip the polls.” Great work, Mr. President. You're beating yourself... again. www.defiance.news/p/data-shows...

Data shows Trump is inspiring Democrats to vote — and Republicans to stay home.

The president's voter suppression campaign is poised to backfire by mobilizing the political opposition, while depressing MAGA voter turnout.

In the first term, it was humiliating to see foreign leaders play Trump like a fiddle (using flattery). But the bigger problem was taunts. He was so easily provoked. Iran watched & learned. Now they're goading Trump into a forever war… to our peril. bit.ly/4fpVfeH

Trump has gutted the FBI’s election protection task force, DHS election teams, ODNI cells, and the EAC. If he’s so concerned about the security of our elections… …why is he systematically dismantling the tools to protect them? 🤔

WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt: what's revealed tonight "will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president." Yes, and if your ears watch closely, you'll be doubly stunned.

When I was in first administration, Trump wanted to “wiretap” White House aides because people were talking behind his back. Now they’re actually seizing the phones of White House staff. The dictator is getting nervous, folks.

In 2020, Trump manufactured the Big Lie, but he could never find the actual "thief" who stole the election. So this Thursday, he's going to invent one. Get ready for the "Bigger Lie" (which will make him look even more desperate than before). www.defiance.news/p/i-helped-o...

I helped oversee election security for Trump. He's about to swap the "Big Lie" for a Bigger Lie.

The president will reportedly begin releasing cherry-picked intelligence from 2020 to make it look like a foreign country helped Joe Biden win. The claims are categorically false.

Trump ordered the FBI to find out who leaked the truth about his Qatari jet. Within 24 hours, his own leak investigation leaked. You can’t write a better metaphor for this administration. Too corrupt to hide it & too incompetent to cover it up. www.defiance.news/p/trump-open...

Trump opened an investigation into reporters. Then his own "leak" probe leaked.

Try as he might, Donald Trump's unprecedented attacks on the First Amendment are being met with unprecedented pushback.

If you live in a Blue State, Donald Trump just put a gun to your head. He's withholding cash to stop terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, and mass shootings from states that say "no" to his voting rules. If the fight to protect democracy wasn’t “personal” for you, it is now.

In the first term, only a handful of folks DIDN’T think Trump was a moron. The rest of the people I worked alongside — from Cabinet members to staff assistants — realized that the president was an idiot. Take it for what you will. But that’s the truth.

Here’s what the Supreme Court should have written this week. “Mr. President, take what isn’t yours. This high Court has no quarrel with a Constitutional robber baron. Pick our pockets and clean our clocks, but please don’t take our robes, for we are naked underneath them!”

Trump’s first term had a basic filtration system. People stood between his addled brain and the country, catching the gunk. He ripped out the filter. You can see it with the tacky 250th celebrations. Americans are now just drinking his raw sewage. trib.al/Qx0xqeP

Trump's tacky party reflects the needy man I knew. All Americans share his shame

Trump's foolishness is writ large in the gaudy gold and fake pillars of America's 250th birthday celebrations

For criticizing him, Trump opened an investigation into me for “treason.” He doesn’t scare me. I’ve decided to call out his corruption louder than ever. See you at the movies, Mr. President. No need to buy a ticket. We’re making this free for everyone.

🚨 BREAKING: DEFIANCE.org is co-producing UNFIT TOO — the sequel to the 2020 documentary about Trump’s unfitness for office. The original sent Trump’s White House into meltdown. Wait until they see the sequel. Coming before the midterms. Details tomorrow.

There was a rule when I was in Trump's first term: if a memo had a staple in it, it was too long for him to read. Life-or-death decisions were cut to one page. Or a half-page. Or less. Bold fonts. BIG pictures. When you’re wondering why everything’s a mess, remember that.

This week, the Trump team: — Sent a hatchet man to run U.S. spy agencies — Pushed quasi-spyware onto every fed employee’s phone — Subpoenaed WSJ and WaPo reporters' sources They’re building a police state. We built DEFIANCE.org to stop them.

Trump’s war split MAGA in half. Anti-war. Pro-war. Somehow, Trump has now managed to unite both factions… AGAINST HIM. His surrender to Iran has been so humiliating that hardly anyone in MAGA will support it. Mission accomplished.

U.S. allies used to see Trump's moods like bad weather, nasty but short. They've concluded his temper tantrums are the diplomatic equivalent of climate change. Long-term & system-changing. Now, they're planning for a future without us. Essay here: bit.ly/4uNA5x0

I was involved in Iran issues in the first Trump administration. This “deal” could be the most humiliating in U.S. diplomatic history. Hundred of billions in exchange for a “promise” we already had. Pathetic.
