  1. We have to solve problems somehow so we have to get some power to do so and so I'm going to deliver reports about the most exploitable #Republican districts that can be won. I'm talking #state #legislatures. The #federal is hopeless right now. Way too much money required. Have to take over states.

  2. State legislatures are often strongholds of public input, and should be, given their more immediate impact on local laws and policies. Yet this is not always true, and over time, you can see the same state legislatures valuing, then limiting, then valuing again, constituent testimony. Here's where Kansas is right now. #Legislatures #Kansas #PublicPolicy #HPPR hppr.org/hppr-news/2026-04-17/

  9. “Under the #Constitution, it’s the #legislatures & #states that really control how a state conducts its elections, & the president doesn’t have any power to do that,” said Peter Ticktin, a Florida lawyer who is advocating for the draft #ExecutiveOrder. Ticktin attended the New York Military Academy with #Trump & was part of his legal team that filed an unsuccessful 2022 lawsuit accusing Democrats of conspiring to damage him with allegations that his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.

  14. His central point for present purposes was that #state #legislatures can authorize lawsuits against #federal officials for violating the #Constitution. If that is right, such #StateLaws would close an odd gap in #FederalLaw that—broadly speaking—allows such suits against state & local officials, like police officers, but not against #federal ones, like #ICE agents.
