@GovPritzker Nope it's not. Try another tired, worn out talking point.

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.

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.

Gay people are not the issue. They’re responsible for their own decisions and lifestyles. However, the agenda, and it being imposed on society, is the issue. The federal government, the school system, Hollywood, and the sports industry all play a role in it. The same way people don’t want religion to be imposed on them is the same as people not wanting LGBTQ agendas to be pushed on to them.

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

@OGRicky305 @NathanChester24 Love tells the truth. Even when it might contradict someone's personal beliefs, opinions, or feelings. If all love does is affirm, then it just lies to people. Which isn't.....love.

@NathanChester24 John 13:34-35: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” and 1 John 4:20: “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar.”

If you don’t like Christianity’s teaching on sexual morality, that’s fine. I don’t judge you. That’ll be between you and the Lord. But what I have no tolerance for is people trying to twist Christianity to fit a 2026 progressive sexual ethic.

@NathanChester24 This is what Satan does.

@girldrawsghosts Speak for yourself.

To properly understand the religious mania that has gripped America requires understanding that it was born in these exact same haunted non-spaces of congregation I’ve been in these rooms. They are places of anxiety and pressure and judgment and anger So, so much anger.

@saturnine_grace 😂😂😂😂 what an absolutely clownish take

The vast majority of people have premarital sex so if you say it's sinful you basically have to say that everyone around you is evil which seems obviously false? Not sure how to square this

@pimomormon Falling from God's designed perfection is death...even if you keep on "living". Anyone who's experienced God's underserved favor understands this fully.

God said Adam and Eve would “surely die” the same day they ate the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve almost lived (according to the Bible) for a thousand years. And we’re told that god tells the truth?

@mattbencole That's not the only thing MLK stayed up late for. 🤷

MLK watched Star Trek and found its vision of a cooperative multiracial future so powerful that he let his kids stay up to watch and begged Nichelle Nichols to keep her role as Nuhura Andy Weir watched Star Trek and wondered why they couldn't just hurry up and shoot each other

@RobertPicardo You might just try saying, "you know what? I might not agree with you, but you're welcome to your own viewpoint." Why is everyone who disagrees "wrong?"

Still blocking the rude, crude, hateful and stupefyingly stupid which are never in short supply here. [And, of course, all of the bots] It's a full-time job and I need a break. See you soon! - - I am confident that you will keep the hate-fires burning while I'm gone ! 🖖🏿 🖖🏽🖖

@bankertobuilder Lol it's worse. These AI rehabs do rile people up tho.

This old home needed a refresh We got rid of the gross overgrowth, updated the colors to something modern, and gave the place a timeless feel So proud of my team

@masonmennenga No errors detected. Recognizing and accepting what the God of the universe says in his holy word doesn't equal hate. It equals truth.

conservative christians are like “i don’t hate gay people i just believe they’re going to burn in hell forever”

@treknews @KHADY93 It's too late. The surge needed to happen by watching the show when it was airing. It's not 1967 anymore.

Fan Campaign Surges as Supporters Rally to Save Star Trek: Starfleet Academy — treknews.net/2026/03/31/sta…

@fandompulse Sorry but yeah, eww. And not because he's gay. But because I have no interest watching a show that's supposed to be about going boldly into unknown and unexplored places but is instead about a few people's private sexual activities.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy actor Karim Diane on Season 2: "season 2 is GAY AF, and I have SOOOOO much bts content coming your way. Please prepare to be sick of me. im going to be EVEN LOUDER and more annoying about this beautiful gay Klingon. we going out IN FLAMES" How hot are those flames going to be?

@Notwokenow Data would seem to suggest the answer is yes. Taking into account the simple fact that you must still be alive in order to harvest organs, and that organ "donation" is incredibly common in the US, nearly all doctors and surgeons are at least peripherally involved in the process.

Do you believe there are doctors who would let you die (or worse) for the sake of harvesting organs? Not just in Canada or Spain, but here in the US?

You will become immediately immune to our present flurry of confusion when you keep ever in mind that the man in charge has articulated, planned, revised, and iterated on his vision for the country for 40 years, and that louder portion of his main detractors have been "thinking" about any of these issues for all of 14 seconds.

Schools don't have a funding problem, they have an administrator surplus problem

🚨 This is how America loses religious freedom. When the Chicago Bulls waive Jaden Ivey for quoting the Bible and preaching Jesus Christ — labeling it “conduct detrimental to the team” and saying he didn’t live up to “organizational standards” — we see the playbook in action. Ivey went on Instagram Live reading Scripture, calling sin what the Bible calls sin, and pointing out that the NBA proudly celebrates Pride Month as “unrighteousness.” For simply speaking biblical truth, they cut him after just a handful of games. The left’s new rule: Christianity = Hate Speech if we don’t like it. “Hate speech” now means anything the left doesn’t like. Just because truth is spoken doesn’t make it hateful. Quoting the Bible isn’t bigotry — it’s faith. But to the Chicago Bulls and the woke NBA machine, the Gospel itself is now “detrimental.” You can promote Pride, kneel for causes, and stay silent on Scripture… but open the Bible and preach repentance in Jesus? You’re gone. This is exactly how a country loses religious freedom: redefine truth as “hate,” punish believers for living it, and silence the Church one athlete, one employee, one voice at a time. The American Church better wake up. The left wants to label our Bible hate speech in this country. They’re already doing it in pro sports. Jaden Ivey was fired for quoting Scripture — the same Word that built Western civilization and guarantees our freedoms. If we don’t push back now, tomorrow it won’t just be NBA players. It’ll be pastors, teachers, parents, and you. Stand with Jaden Ivey. Preach Jesus anyway. Religious liberty is on the line. Share if you believe truth isn’t hate and the Bible isn’t bigotry. #JusticeForIvey #DefendReligiousFreedom #BibleIsNotHate #WakeUpChurch #ChristianPersecutionInAmerica

@FantasyWorldW1 Totally illiterate of history.

Star Wars actor John Boyega explained why he doesn’t watch Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones in 2017: “There are no Black people in Game of Thrones,” he said. “You don’t see one Black person in Lord of the Rings. I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen. Thoughts?
