In the piece, Luttig outlined how Republicans could refuse to seat elected Democrats in January after a Democratic victory in the 2026 midterm elections of November. “The coming crisis,” the piece says, would be “The Final Battle for America’s Democracy.”

    Luttig spelled out that Trump is fighting a war against America’s democracy. While the refusal of Vice President Mike Pence to assist his power grab made it fail in January 2021, Luttig notes, today Trump and his Republican congressional allies are more determined than ever to take over the country.

    Luttig focuses on the ability of House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to prevent the recognition of duly-elected Democratic representatives on January 3. Johnson has the power, Luttig says, to remove the current House clerk, Kevin McCumber, and replace him temporarily with a MAGA loyalist who will refuse to list Democrats on the roll of those elected to the 120th Congress.

    While the #SCOTUS is still giving the #OrangeFelon more power, Americans get more extreme examples of the government cruelty and lawlessness that is going to come. No more #LandOfTheFree but masked thugs posing as ICE agents raiding random buildings and disappearing people.
    In addition, a #CommanderInChief, who is not only a corrupt felon, but also getting more incapacitated by the day.
    Representative Madeline Dean: "Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a president, who is unwell."

    As always, #HeatherCoxRichardson puts it in her daily email and podcast, icymi.
