#Trump Is Building an Election Trap, and Millions of Americans May Not See It Until It’s Too Late
by Thom Hartmann, October 9, 2026
"Something stinks.
" #Astoria is one of my favorites on the #Oregon coast, a small town of around 9,000 people with great restaurants and crafts shops. Two of them, a coffee shop and ceramics studio, are owned by a small businessperson, Audrey Long, who’s mailed herself five postcards since August to test the mail. The results have been grim, particularly since Oregon is a 100% #VoteByMail state.
"So far, only two of the postcards have arrived, and the first one took more than a month (and Oregon doesn’t even send out ballots until next Wednesday). Across the street from one of her shops the town’s City Hall isn’t getting its mail reliably, either, and the same is true for the tenants of a 40-unit apartment building next door, according to reporting by Oregon Public Broadcasting.
"Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley is looking into it, his office telling OPB’s reporter, 'The timing of these issues is especially concerning.'
"At first, I figured this was a one-off; something weird or broken in the Astoria post office. But when I mentioned this on the air Monday of this week my lines were flooded with calls from states across the nation saying that they’re having similar problems with the mail. The calls have continued every day since.
"Yesterday, an American listener who follows us on YouTube from Germany called in to say that his ballot was mailed out on September 19th (the law requires all foreign-resident ballots to go out by then) and he’s tracking it online but it still hasn’t arrived at his home in Mannheim.
"Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order limiting who could get a mail-in ballot that the Supreme Court knocked down last month. But apparently he’s still working on the Post Office, just in some different ways, many of which are being kept under wraps. But there are some clues.
"Raw Story’s Alexandria Jacobson reports that nearly 1,000 #Armed #PrivateSecurity guards have been deployed to at least 55 postal facilities in places with lots of Democrats like #Atlanta, #Phoenix, #Denver, and #Chicago.
"Instead of using the Post Office’s own police force, Trump’s people have hired #Prosegur, a Spanish multinational armed mercenary force that #Norway ’s sovereign wealth fund blacklisted in 2024 over what its ethics council called “an unacceptable risk that the company is contributing to serious #HumanRights abuses.'
"The company’s also been accused of intimidating union organizers across Latin America, which may be why Frank Albergo of the Postal Police Officers Association worries out loud that nobody from the #PostalService seems to be supervising them. He described the result as 'private contractors in and around ballots without any federal control.'
"In other words, we’re already partway there: armed men who answer to a foreign contractor and Trump instead of to the public, with no transparency and no clear reason for their being there, are overseeing the buildings our ballots pass through this month.
"Then there’s Trump’s wannabe #Schutzstaffel of armed, masked, anonymous, unaccountable thugs now equipped with electric gloves that are used for torture in other countries who seems to delight in shooting people — including American citizens like Renee Good — in their cars. Democracy Forward just released 166 pages of internal ICE records they got with a FOIA filing and the result is shocking.
"This renegade agency that seems to answer only to Trump and #StephenMiller has now collected 50.6 million voter roll records from the Justice Department.
"What the hell is ICE doing with our voter records? And what could their having our personal voting habits possibly have to do with controlling immigration?
"But it gets worse: they also got another 48.4 million 'voter records' from what the documents call the 'independent sources” of #ElectionDenier #HeatherHoney, who’s now the Department of Homeland Security’s point person on '#ElectionIntegrity.'
[...]
"This administration has also joined #Russia and #Belarus as being the only three countries in the world to refuse to allow in international election monitors from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( #OSCE ), which has overseen our elections for decades. What are they hiding?"

DEFEND IP Act: What Raleigh Residents Should Know About Proposed Website Blocking
A bipartisan federal proposal backed by North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis is raising questions about online piracy, website blocking and internet freedom. The DEFEND IP Act would give copyright owners a new court process to restrict U.S. access to certain foreign piracy websites. Supporters say it would protect creators and consumers from overseas piracy.
How Would the DEFEND IP Act Work?Copyright owners could ask a federal judge to designate a foreign online location as a piracy site, then request a separate order requiring covered providers to block access.
The proposal covers broadband providers with at least 50,000 subscribers and public DNS providers earning more than $100 million annually. Courts would consider technical feasibility, effects on lawful content and less burdensome alternatives.
Would VPN Services Be Affected?The bill excludes entities that exclusively provide VPN services or similar encrypted traffic-routing services. That wording should not be interpreted as a blanket exemption for every company offering a VPN alongside other services.
Why Is the Bill Controversial?Supporters, including Tillis and entertainment-industry organizations, argue that court-supervised blocking would protect creative work and reduce exposure to malware and fraud.
Public Knowledge opposes the proposal, warning that broad blocking could disrupt legitimate websites and hurt small businesses. The organization also raises concerns about censorship, global DNS blocking and the cost of challenging an erroneous block.
Why It Matters to RaleighFor Raleigh’s creators, business owners and streaming audiences, the debate raises a practical question: how can copyright enforcement protect creative work while preserving reliable access to lawful online content?
Introduced September 24, 2026, as S. 5529 and H.R. 10575, the bills were referred to their respective Judiciary committees. The blocking provisions described here are proposed changes.

Sorry, falls ich jemanden mit den Hinweisen zur Gewaltenteilung nerve.
Aber wer sich über Trump, Putin & deren Fossilismus nicht nur aufregen möchte, erkennt deren exekutive Machtansprüche auch gegen das Recht (Judikative), die Medien (Publikative), die Wissenschaften (Scientikative) und vor allem gegen die Parlamente (Legislative).
Deswegen korreliert die Macht- & Geldverdichtung von Fossilismus regelmäßig mit Tyrannei bzw. Tyrannophilie.
„Auch US-Republikaner fordern härteren Kurs gegen Putin
Hinter dem Schreiben stehen die demokratischen Senatoren Richard Blumenthal, Jeanne Shaheen und Ron Wyden sowie ihre republikanischen Kollegen Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, John Curtis und Susan Collins. Trumps Regierung habe es versäumt, den Kongress bei der Entscheidung zu konsultieren oder eine Begründung vorzulegen, "wie es gesetzlich vorgeschrieben ist".
