  4. Dear #America,

    You are living in fantasy land if you think the #TrumpRegime will allow future #federalelections.

    Get used to the fact that you are now living in an #authoritarian #dictatorship.

  6. No one is talking about this so I will bring it up: I think Steve Paikin is a good interviewer (He interviewed me over a decade ago! It was very nerve-wracking to be on TV! He was a nice guy about it!) but I do ***not*** think he is the political moderator we need in 2025, and he should not have been the English-language federal debate moderator. It unfortunately kept the tone of the debate fluffy and superficial, and barely gets beyond the bare-bones talking points.

  10. #Maine: As Maine eyes voter ID law, Trump order tightens federal registration rules

    by Caroline LeCour, March 27, 2025

    "As Maine voters eye a statewide voter ID proposal, a new #ExecutiveOrder from President Donald #Trump is adding another layer to the conversation around election integrity and access.

    "The order signed Wednesday would require proof of #USCitizenship to register for #FederalElections and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day—a change from the current system in many states that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received later.

    "Though separate from Maine's voter ID proposal—which addresses identification at the polls rather than registration—some in the state see a common goal.

    "'This is a policy, different policies to strengthen our elections, to increase confidence of voters to participate in our democratic process,' #AlexTitcomb, of the grassroots organization The Dinner Table, [a #Conservative #PAC] said. The group spared Maine's voter ID proposal, which was certified by the Maine Secretary of State earlier this year.

    "Critics argue that requiring documents many voters may not readily have—especially those whose names may not match across forms of ID—could discourage legitimate voters from participating.

    "'A lot of married women have changed their names, some of their documents don't match up,' Jen Lancaster, with the League of Women Voters of Maine, said. 'Maybe they don't have the perfect document, and they get turned away. That's what #VoterSuppression is. It's eligible voters being denied their right to vote.'

    "Lancaster says the executive order is likely to face legal challenges, echoing concerns from national #VotingRights organizations."
