@Pebo007_iam @theprofsrecord @shadowban_fix Right. An Executive Order detailing how laws that were already enacted through Constitutional Legislative process is exactly how a President should preside. If nothing else, this EO is an in plain sight warning that we know the laws are in place & will be enforced in this manner.

@TimLandstrom @theprofsrecord @shadowban_fix Executive is constitutionally barred from executing its strut through separate Legislative territory. There’s actually a very good purpose & reason it’s set up that way. Pretending not to know where Constitutional guardrails are is no excuse. It’s the president’s duty to know.

Wrong. The Elections Clause gives states the initial role to set time, place and manner, but expressly authorizes Congress to enact nationwide rules for federal elections (House and Senate races), including voter registration, list maintenance, fraud prevention, and ballot procedures. The Supreme Court has interpreted “manner” broadly to include “notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices,” etc. The Help America Vote Act imposes mandatory minimum federal standards on states (e.g., statewide computerized voter registration lists, provisional ballots, and election administration improvements) and provides federal grants (“requirements payments”) explicitly conditioned on compliance. States must submit plans showing how they meet these standards to receive funding. The National Voter Registration was also enacted under the Elections Clause. It mandates that states maintain accurate voter rolls (“list maintenance”), offer registration at certain agencies, and accept a federal mail-registration form. Courts have upheld NVRA provisions as valid under the Elections Clause precisely because they target voter eligibility verification and roll accuracy. Trump’s EO explicitly cites both HAVA and NVRA as authority. It does not create new substantive rules from scratch; it directs federal agencies to implement and enhance existing federal statutory requirements using federal databases (SSA records, DHS’s SAVE program). Moreover, Congress’s power under Article I, Section 8 to tax and spend for the general welfare includes the ability to attach conditions to federal grants to states. This is classic conditional spending, upheld in South Dakota v. Dole (1987): conditions must be unambiguous, related to the federal interest (here, integrity of federal elections), and not coercive. - HAVA already does exactly this—grants are withheld or conditioned on states meeting federal election-administration standards. - The EO (Section 5) authorizes withholding “federal funds from noncompliant states/localities where authorized by law.” This is not a new commandeering of state legislatures; states can decline the funds (and the attached conditions) if they wish. Precedent confirms Congress (and the executive administering congressional appropriations) can use the purse to encourage compliance without directly dictating state election codes. Finally, Trump’s EO’s core mechanisms operate through federal entities like the post office, not state legislatures: - USPS rulemaking directs the Postmaster General to require barcoded, trackable “Official Election Mail” envelopes and to transmit ballots only to voters on the federal/state-verified Mail-In/Absentee Participation Lists. USPS is a federal agency; the President may direct its operations via executive order. States are not forced to change their own mailing processes—they simply cannot use federal postal service for non-compliant ballots if they want the service. This avoids the anti-commandeering doctrine (Printz v. United States, 1997), which prohibits the federal government from forcing state officials to enforce federal law. Here, the federal government is regulating its own property (mail) and funds. Once Congress has acted (via HAVA/NVRA), federal requirements preempt conflicting state practices for federal elections. The democrats are toast.

@DrBenTapper1 Sounds a lot like a 'MARK' that I read about somewhere.

Bill Gates is calling for biometric digital IDs to be tied directly to your bank account and payment systems so they can monitor your health, track farmers, and manage climate policy. That is exactly the kind of centralized control free people are supposed to reject. When your identity, your money, and your daily life are all linked in one system, you are no longer free. #wakeup

FINAL: Marlins 10, White Sox 0

The Executive Branch, executing Congressional acts! Doesn't get any more Constitutional than this.

@theprofsrecord @shadowban_fix The Executive Branch, executing! Doesn't get any more Constitutional than this.

@shadowban_fix NVRA and HAVA are already on the books. Congress has acted. Years ago. That's the beauty of the EO, it was drafted in compliance with existing law.

@GovPritzker Sir, you are the Chief executive of the State of Illinois. Your attitude is felonious and your conduct is too. Not surprising, as an Illinois Governor. But know this… you are abdicating your responsibility to the legal citizens of Illinois and other States in the Union.

This is unconstitutional. Voting is a fundamental right for every American. Illinois will keep administering free and fair elections – and what Donald Trump puts on a piece of paper will not change that.

@TheConnorPils One of the best finishers at the rim for a guy his size that I've ever seen.

TRIPLE DOUBLE for the kid from Chicago 🔥 18 pts, 15 boards, 12 assists, 3 steals. +30 in 33 minutes. Those of us that watched him at Illinois knew it would only be a matter of time. Ayo is blossoming into a STAR

@NicHulscher "Never tested for cumulative safety." Just like wireless tech and all the EMF radiation. Test them like they are used! And you'll find that they are beyond dangerous. But no one wants to know that. Plausible deniability.

🚨CDC Sued for Operating Illegal & Unconstitutional 72-Dose Childhood Hyper-Vaccination Program NEVER tested for cumulative safety. NEVER filed the legally-required safety reports. This could dismantle the CDC’s unlawful vaccine regime that has poisoned the nation.

@ChiSoxFanMike Vargas hitting 5th after last night's production. 162 games. 162 different line ups. Here we go again...

Andrew Benintendi hitting third in the big 2026. Disgusting.

When conservatives say they won’t vote this November, the left has gotten exactly what they want: Voter apathy. Because Democrats remain passionate voters. Patriots vote. Citizens who love and want to preserve and save this country VOTE. Voter apathy is for losers.

Time to REMOVE THUNE. 5 to trigger + 27 to win Calling on you: @SenRickScott @HawleyMO @SenKatieBritt @SenRonJohnson @SenTuberville @SenJohnKennedy Force a meeting. Replace Thune with @BasedMikeLee. Share if you agree.

That's my rep! @RepJohnRose

Please share if you agree that the Senate should not recess until it has (1) fully funded DHS, and (2) passed the SAVE America Act

@ChiSoxFanMike 80-82

Give me your 2026 White Sox record prediction. I’ll start: 73-89

@Destined2B_King @awaketotruth_ @flashpointarmy Is it a States' Right to send illegally elected Reps, Senators and Presidents to DC, thereby disaffecting the governing of the entire USA and disenfranchising every US citizen who legally participates in their respective State elections, expecting good and legal outcomes?

@awaketotruth_ @flashpointarmy and minorities to vote causing them to be disinfranchised. It will in essence add a pole tax because they will purchase the documents needed. Don't get me wrong I think we should have voter ID but it is a State Rights and the federal government needs to stay the hell out of it

“There is a destructive, anti-American, new world order agenda, at work, and they know that if the Save Act is passed and we have free and fair elections, they will be evicted from power. America will then rise, flourish again, and shatter the new world order.” - @realpastorjurgs

@flashpointarmy Why do Christians sit out elections? 1) Misplaced integrity as regards the process. 'How can I vote for THAT guy, the way he behaves & the things he has done.' Failure to recognize that a vote not cast is half a vote for the lesser candidate... Serious need to wake up to reality!

Ed Rush believes the numbers are clear: if Bible-believing Christians consistently voted, they could shape the outcome of many elections. Yet he points out that nearly half stay home during election cycles, especially when major national figures aren’t on the ballot.  The message is simple: engagement matters. Why do you think so many voters sit out elections?  Sound off in the comments.  #EdRush #Vote #Politics #Bible #FlashPointArmy
