The Biggest Story of the Day went unnoticed by many DUers. Makes me sad. [View all]

The fact that the White House was seriously considering suspending Habeous Corpus because there were pissed that judges were interfering with their immigration goals. Also they were considering invoking the Insurrection Act following the murder of Alex Pretti. I read the whole article and was really frightened.

I am really afraid about the midterms. If they start messing with voters or seizing ballots in blue areas there is gonna be an uproar. People are not gonna stand for it and I believe they will show up and raise hell. States may have to call out their National Guards to protect the people and the vote. It is a scenario that the Administration may find ripe for invoking the Insurrection Act.

I truly do not trust that Trump will be willing to give up his power. Especially if it looks like we will take the Senate as well.

Please read the article. It is chilling.
