Trump, MAGA already pushing conspiracies about Michigan mail voting 

It’s no surprise the president and prominent election deniers are already planting the seeds of a voting conspiracy to lean on if El-Sayed b

Context: The Trump regime/MAGA are sowing seeds of mistrust in the voting process so they can corrupt the midterm election and claim results are not viable. They did the same in the last election when Trump had Elon change voting results to win Trump all of the swing states; before they election, they heavily accused Democrats of hacking the previous election to fake Biden's win (this is a lie).

The Heritage Project's method, backed by Putin's regime, is to flood social media with distrustful and divisive rhetoric about voting to give Republicans an opportunity to challenge any voting result they don't like.

‘What they’re doing qualifies as torture’: new details of ICE force-feeding revealed

Exclusive: cases of Afghan man, Ukrainian man and Saudi woman show repeated nasogastric tube insertions and lack of legal representation

via The Guardian:

These are among 10 separate cases the Guardian found, since Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025, in which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has attempted to subject detained hunger strikers to involuntary medical procedures, including force-feeding. Of those, ICE subjected at least three – but probably five – who were protesting against the conditions of their confinement, to the procedures. Human rights organizations have widely condemned force-feeding as torture.

ACLU launches nationwide legal challenge over alleged ICE abuses - Salon.com

ACLU says claims document a nationwide pattern of excessive force, unlawful arrests and abuse by ICE agents

via Salon.com:

The American Civil Liberties Union and its state affiliates have filed 54 administrative claims against the federal government on behalf of people who allege they were harmed by federal immigration enforcement, launching what the organization says is one of its broadest coordinated legal efforts challenging ICE operations. The Department of Homeland Security rejected the allegations, defending its immigration enforcement efforts and criticizing the ACLU’s characterization of federal operations. The agency said its officers are trained to enforce immigration laws while protecting public safety and complying with federal law. The administrative claims do not themselves constitute lawsuits. Under federal law, agencies generally have an opportunity to review and respond before claimants can pursue litigation in court. If the claims are denied or remain unresolved after the statutory review period, the individuals may seek damages through federal lawsuits.
