Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson has moved to block Democrats from using resolutions of inquiry to investigate Trump-era scandals, including “Signalgate.”
On Monday, he advanced a measure in the House Rules Committee halting these privileged resolutions until September 30.
Democrats had been using the tool to seek answers about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of encrypted apps to discuss Yemen airstrikes.
Johnson embedded the pause in resolutions targeting Biden’s environmental policies, effectively shielding Trump and weakening Congressional oversight powers.
There’s not. I’m sorry, I’ve read every link put forth arguing exactly that, and all the “irregularities” are easily explained. There have been hand recounts that validated the results. He won; it’s awful, but he won.
Don’t need to enter conspiracy theory land. Elon musk bought votes out in the open. It was as public as it gets. 2024 US elections were not fair and democratic.
Two million mail-in ballots were trashed because of irregularities. If you’re black, your mail-in ballot was nine times more likely to be trashed than a white person’s. There’s other proof. Search bullet ballot discrepancy. A bullet ballot is when only the presidency is voted on and nothing else. They aren’t unheard of, but they’re relatively rare. There were twenty times more bullet ballots in swing states than in the last election or in non-swing states.

You combined a good link with a false rumor.
The good link talks about voter suppression techniques: voter roll purges, questionable disqualifications, etc. All states do this, and some amount of purging is necessary (far lower than occurs), but this has been in place for decades. This is awful, but it’s a systemic hurdle for Democrats just as the Electoral College is a systemic hurdle. It’s not unique to 2024, though it would’ve been nice if Democrats tried harder to make most of it illegal leading up to the election.
As for the false rumor: no, bullet ballots were not “twenty times more” in swing states.
Most of the rumors alluded to by the original comment I was replying to are just wild, unfounded speculation. People claim “bullet ballots are proof that Elon Musk tampered with voting machines.” No, bullet ballots are proof that there are a lot of
low-information votersmorons out there who don’t normally vote, couldn’t tell you who any of their representatives are, are apolitical, but who just came out of the woodwork to vote for Trump because they really like Trump (and only Trump). That’s, like, Trump’s whole brand, and these people absolutely exist.I for one never would trust mail-in ballots from USPS or any other delivery service. Could get lost (or will not get there in time) easily.
I know some counties had issues, but there should be other ways to get there to vote. Like sending buses at specific places.

There absolutely is. The Russian Tail is right there.
You can only spam the same videos so many times before everyone just assumes they’re garbage.
That’s on you for assuming shit. Those sources need to be seen, also two of them aren’t videos. Try reading the data.
