It marks one of 89 posts made by (Trump) in the span of an hour. One post appeared to praise tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, with the video seemingly

The post reads, "Elon Musk is reportedly going all-in funding Republicans to help President Trump take back full control in the November midterms." Trump also made reposts on voter ID laws and repeated a debunked claim on Ilhan Omar.

his ally regarding same day post mark from the Post Office for ballots will not happen meaning blue areas will be affected.

RWers now own the voting machines.

But one thing tho, Americans don't like Musk. Another, the poor shape of the economy and wars with other countries.

I'm pretty sure Vance will be in because shithole is not well body and mind, both have failing poll numbers.

We are again going back to the Age of Aquaruis.

Overtly doing everything they can to get and hold power. Literally no guardrails left it seems. Wonder how much musk will pay for votes this time around.

"Take Back"?
Isn't that already the case?
He doesn't know his party controls all 3 branches already?

Including WHO can vote, WHEN they can vote, WHERE they can vote, and of course...sweet, sweet "redistricting / gerrymandering," to ensure that the only votes that count will be votes for Republicans.

in their graves as the abuses of this outlaw administration and the whole of the GOP escalate daily. Their disastrous minority rule must be ended this November!

Going all in with Venezuela too with his free starlink offer. Like he did in Ukraine (shut his starlinks off at critical times to help Russia) Maybe it to make (through his tech) whomever winds up controlling Venezuela long-term compliant with that asshole in the White House. If musk is involved? It’s corrupted.

And I do see some signs of us doing that. We need to focus on getting the citizens of this country a good deal. Affordability. Health insurance. Reproductive freedom. Environment.

I'm really hoping that we don't let the Republicans choose who on our side they want to argue with. In the past, we've been far too accepting, far too willing to let the fringe hog our mic. And Republicans are only too happy to let whoever the most foolish people are who call themselves left (I would argue erroneously) dominate our Dem image.
