Originally published at: Dems Immediately Sue to Block Trump’s Ominous New ‘Citizenship List’ Executive Order
Welcome back to The Franchise! I (Nicole LaFond) am tag-teaming this week’s edition with Khaya Himmelman. We’ve got lots to unpack below, but first … The Wall Street Journal is out with new reporting that adds to the befuddling details dripping out of the White House in recent weeks, where senior officials across multiple departments…
All this meddling is going to screw over eligible voters.

Isn’t that the point? Although Trump may be hoisted by his own petard by disenfranchising many of his own supporters.

Pam Bondi, under the bus you go!
Not because of all the obstruction, perjury. corruption, and outright illegality, but solely because she was making Comrade Trumpov look bad.
Worst cover-up ever.

With Pam Bondi under the bus, President Trump and the Republican Party may be emboldened to go after Jerry Powell at Federal Reserve, and John Roberts at the Supreme Court.
There ain’t no ambiguity here. U.S. statute 18 USC 592:
"Whoever, being an officer of the Army or Navy, or other person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, orders, brings, keeps, or has under his authority or control any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both; and be disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States.
This section shall not prevent any officer or member of the armed forces of the United States from exercising the right of suffrage in any election district to which he may belong, if otherwise qualified according to the laws of the State in which he offers to vote."

Is Chuck that huge, or is Hakeem that tiny?
If you do not state you are voting for Trump you are a “specific threat”.

Hegseth’s asked the US Army Chief Randy George to step down, apparently. A seismic tantrum and meltdown is already unfolding in the midst of this religious world war. I predict Secretaries Hegseth and Liddle Marco will be gone soon. They have betrayed the President.

Or confuse them about how to register or vote. Any such result will give TFG what he wants.

Trump will never stop peddling the lie he won the 2020 election. As a sociopathic malignant narcissist, he can’t accept rejection. That’s also why there is a 100% chance Trump will lie about the 2026 midterms, since the MAGA party will lose badly.

In my mother’s ancestry there is a mix of indiginous and French genes. The french part got to N. America in the 1680’s. My father’s side got here in 1815. I contend therefore that my birth in Santa Monica, California, USA in 1949 rates me as a “birth right” citizen. trump can suck on cholla cactus… I’ll refrain from using foul language.
