Right-wing extremists want to give state legislatures power to overturn federal elections — and finish what they started after the 2020 election. How? Here’s their scheme.

First, years of gerrymandering and dark money have built obedient Republican state legislatures — just look what red states did to abortion rights.

Next they turn to The Court That Dark Money Built. Years of packing extremists onto the Court and political pressure have brought an obedient Court supermajority to power.

Then they send in dark-money front groups like the Honest Elections Project, which has filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court that lays out the plan. Who is this group?

Honest Elections Project calls itself a “nonpartisan organization devoted to supporting the right of every lawful voter to participate in free and honest elections.” Wrong. This group promotes voter suppression under the guise of “election integrity.”

Pre-colonization Glass Gem Corn, Indigenous to North America, regrown by a Cherokee farmer in Oklahoma. This particular corn is a mix of ancient Pawnee, Osage and Cherokee varieties.

‘In Cherokee mythology, Selu was the First Woman and goddess of the corn. Selu was killed by her twin sons, who feared her power; but with her dying instructions she taught them to plant and farm corn — so that her spirit was resurrected with each harvest.’

‘The Corn Mother, Corn Maiden, or Yellow Woman is the nourishment aspect of the Goddess and is most commonly associated with grain harvest. She is the Mother Goddess who nurtures those around her with food and is the conceptual representation of ‘what we will reap —we will sow.’

BREAKING: the DOJ has rejected Trump's request to pay 50 percent of the $700 an hour salary of the special master to oversee the documents the FBI seized at Mar-a-Lago.

"Each party will bear 50% of the professional fees and expenses of the Special Master and any professionals, support staff, and expert consultants engaged at the [special] master’s request," Trump's team asked

DOJ disagreed, writing that Trump, "as the party who requested the Special Master, will bear 100% of the professional fees and expenses of the Special Master and any professionals, support staff, and expert consultants engaged at the Master’s request."

the top candidate for the Special Master job charges $700 per hour

Trump has no say on how many hours the Special Master can work.

As a former Trump supporter, I’ll say President Biden’s speech was accurate about MAGA. We want America to be a specific way, & anything outside of conservative principles is wrong. Trump was our leader, and we made him to be more than that which is basically fascism.

Trump supporters who will reply will say that this is inaccurate or wrong but they are either not being honest or just fooling themselves because they don’t understand what fascism is about.

BREAKING: Former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr blindsides FOX News viewers, tells them that the Justice Department will overturn the judges “wrong” decision to appoint the special master, and that there is more than enough evidence to charge Trump. RT IF TRUMP MUST BE CHARGED!

Saw @BenjaminPDixon today on the Majority Report spreading a very important, critical message.

It will require moderate and progressive Christians to fight against, invalidate, and destroy Christian Nationalism.

I talk w/ my family especially my parents (Christian fascists), but since I'm an atheist, my words are of the devil to them. They think that even though I mean well, that Satan is using me to deceive them, to test them.

It has to be other Christians who fight against this.

Bannon claims today that there were FBI raids on the homes of 35 different senior members of MAGA yesterday.

Bannon claims that the FBI seized the electronic devices of 35 Republicans who are “close to Trump” yesterday.

Marge corroborates Bannon that MAGAs were raided today by the FBI, and says they are connected to J6: “35 people from Pres Trump’s MAGA circle, the inner circle. I’ve been talking to some of them myself today and it terrifying. They’re building a conspiracy, a spider web.”

President Trump and Queen Elizabeth II were very close. Pray for both families during this time of grieving.

Aileen Cannon, a 38 year-old lawyer with no judicial experience and limited resume, was handed a LIFETIME appointment as a federal judge just as Trump left office. Cannon's primary credentials for the job were apparently her young age and membership in the Federalist Society. 1/5

Her professional experience was so limited that she was forced to admit on her Sen Judiciary Comm questionnaire that she had never made any speeches, produced any reports, participated in any panel discussions, spoke at any conferences or written for any bar association. 2/5

In her twelve years as a lawyer, she published no writings of her own and just 3 writings done with colleagues at Gibson Dunn -- limited to promotional articles on cases handled by the firm for their own website. 3/5

In an attempt to show writing experience, Cannon listed 17 short articles from a 2-mo undergrad stint at El Nuevo Herald. ranging from "Prenatal Yoga" to "Flamenco: An Explosion of Energy and Passion." Cannon is unclear on whether she authored or simply edited the articles. 4/5

Finally, the questionnaire for a LIFETIME judicial appt asks Cannon to list all interviews she has given to the media. Cannon lists only her wedding article in a local magazine as her only media experience.(5/5)

Although many presidents met with Queen Elizabeth, Barack Obama was the only President invited by the Queen to return after he left office. She reportedly regarded him as a pillar of integrity - a man of stability, decency, and rectitude.
