"Donald Trump thinks that every election that he loses is filled with fraud. And that could be the basis for some kind of Justice Department action. But I want to reassure people that we’ve been anticipating that and we’re going to be ready to handle whatever it is that they throw at us." –Former Attorney General Eric Holder discusses protecting the midterm elections.

.@jonfavs: The only enjoyable thing about JD Vance’s 2028 presidential campaign is going to be watching him put on the human suit and go out and do culturally expected things that a presidential candidate has to do, and just watch how awkward it is.
