  1. Since taking over #DHS in March after #Trump fired Kristi Noem, #MarkwayneMullin has accelerated efforts to make the department a central force in Trump’s crusade against purported widespread election fraud. DHS has pushed states to share their voter rolls for audit & vowed to withhold grant funding from those that refuse to adopt a broader set of election reforms.

  2. Judge blocks #USPS from restricting mail-in voting

    A federal ​judge on Tuesday blocked the US ‌Postal Service from implementing part of #Trump’s executive order that aims to tighten ​rules for mail-in voting ahead of ​November #elections that will decide control of ⁠#Congress.

  3. A Reuters investigation found that just 129 people have been prosecuted for noncitizen voting since a law criminalizing it was passed in 1996 [that’s 129 people over 30 years], & that most of those cases stemmed from voter confusion or miscommunication with election officials rather than any conspiracy.

  4. With #Trump's #Republicans defending slim majorities in both chambers of #Congress, ​his admin has mounted an aggressive effort to expand federal “oversight” of [interference in] #elections ahead of the November 3 #midterms.

    Trump argues that widespread noncitizen voting is benefiting the Democratic Party, even though state audits ‌& independent studies have found noncitizen voting to be incredibly rare.

  5. #Trump loses 21 straight court battles to obtain #state voter rolls ahead of #midterms as noncitizen voting claims remain unproven

    The Trump admin's streak of courtroom defeats in its effort to obtain state voter rolls reached 21 just this year when a judge ruled this week that #states are not required to share the records with the #FederalGovernment.

  6. “Russia’s Disinformation War Targets Germany’s Local Elections

  7. …In his ruling, Mehta recounted how the #OathKeepers stocked #firearms at a hotel outside DC & exchanged encrypted messages about using #violence to thwart the congressional proceedings. The Oath Keeper with the guns, Edward Vallejo, was not called into action, Mehta added.

    When the rioters breached the Capitol, about 10 members of the Oath Keepers wearing military gear entered the building.

  8. In a written ruling Tuesday, Mehta said he was dismissing the #OathKeepers’ charges reluctantly at the request of the #DOJ. He criticized prosecutors for claiming in a court filing that wiping out the most serious convictions from the #Jan6 riot was in the public interest.

  9. Mehta had sentenced Rhodes to 18 years in prison & imposed lesser prison terms on other top #OathKeepers who were #convicted at #jury trials. #Trump commuted those prison sentences on his first day in office last year, & he pardoned more than 1,500 rioters.

  10. As Donald #Trump continues pushing for the "SAVE" voter-suppression law (which, remember, will prevent many - perhaps most - married women from voting), priming ICE, DHS, FBI and other agencies to engage in voter-intimidation at polling stations, trying to illegally block voting by mail which favours Democratic candidates, and everything else...

    ... remember that during his last presidential campaign, he stood up and told #christofascist audiences they would just have to vote for him once, and "then they would never have to #vote again".

    It seems like that should be mentioned more often, not tossed down the memory hole.

  12. #Trump admin urges #SCOTUS to allow #ExecutiveOrder targeting #mail-in #voting before #midterms

    The “emergency” appeal comes after an appeals #court upheld a ruling from a lower court blocking Trump’s order in nearly half the country ahead of November’s midterm #elections.

    But the #DOJ [aka Trump’s personal attys] asked SCOTUS to allow his proposed changes to move ahead anyway.

  13. I would love to see the geographic distribution on these ballots. I bet Rob Bonta would too! #electioninterference

  14. We stand ready to continue engaging in open & constructive dialogue, as the relationship between two countries such as #Brazil & the #UnitedStates requires. But Brazil’s destiny is for Brazilians alone to determine — without foreign interference or subservience.

  15. The whole world knows that, starting in 2023, we began aggressively combating #environmental #crimes & drastically reducing #deforestation across all Brazilian biomes.

    We respect the #sovereignty of other states & negotiate with all those who know how to respect ours. Reciprocity is the foundation of every relationship between nations, & we have the appropriate mechanisms to ensure it.

  16. #Trump’s claims against #Brazil, attempting to justify #tariffs, are unfounded. #FreedomOfExpression is not a free pass for #criminal activity on #socialmedia platforms—we will not give up on protecting our families & children from the greed of a handful of #tech #oligarchs. Our payment system, PIX, does not discriminate against #US companies & is an international benchmark for digital public infrastructure.

  17. President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the Good Neighbor Policy, which sought to replace the use of force with diplomacy in #US #ForeignPolicy toward the region. That approach made a decisive contribution to the early stages of #Brazil’s industrialization. When confronting the 2008 financial crisis, President George W. Bush included 3 Latin American countries in the inaugural Group of 20 leaders’ summit.

  18. …Dividing the world into #SpheresOfInfluence & pursuing #neocolonial ventures for strategic resources are anachronistic gestures & steps backward.
    
Despite the #US’ long history of political & military interventions in #LatinAmerica & the #Caribbean, there have been moments when Washington proved capable of being a partner worthy of our development interests.

  19. Besides being unfair, the new #tariffs are a strategic mistake: They will harm the #US #economy & the US partnership with #Brazil. Several US industrial sectors depend on Brazilian inputs. Food, footwear, textiles, furniture, auto parts & many other products will become more expensive for US #consumers.

  20. As a result, Global Trade Alert, an independent organization based in Switzerland, estimates that #Brazil & #Turkey are now the second most heavily tariffed countries by the #UnitedStates, behind only #China. This is despite the #US surplus with Brazil in bilateral trade in goods & services, which has totaled $428 billion over 15 consecutive years.

  21. Negotiations between us, together with rulings by the #US #SupremeCourt, dismantled the initial version of the sweeping #tariff measures. Yet this month, disregarding dozens of meetings between our teams, solid technical arguments & documents I personally handed to #Trump, the US government imposed new #tariffs on #Brazil ranging from 12.5% to 37.5%.

  22. In my conversations with President #Trump since then, I have stressed that we do not need to share the same worldview to pursue a mutually beneficial relationship between our countries. After all, we lead the two largest #democracies & economies in the #Americas.

  23. A year ago, I was taken aback by the publication, on a digital platform, of a letter from President Donald #Trump imposing a 50% #tariff on Brazilian goods. Its very first paragraph referred to former president #JairBolsonaro — who was #convicted last year for attempting a #coup d’état in #Brazil & is now under house arrest — making the political motivation behind the measure explicit.
