Ask yourself why corrupt Trump needs a primetime lie about elections tonight. Answer: $2.2 billion in reasons, and a Congress full of protectors he can’t afford to lose. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Trump signed an executive order trying to seize personal control of elections. The League of Women Voters sued. We won. That’s not luck — that’s what happens when people fight back instead of panicking. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Trump’s planning a Big Lie primetime address to recycle his old 2020 lies and invent a pretext for seizing control of the 2026 midterms. It’s BS, and we need to call it what it is: the desperate actions of a loser trying to hold onto power by any means necessary. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
If it’s safe enough to mail your tax refund, your Social Security check, your prescriptions, your passport, etc.… it’s safe enough to mail your ballot. The double standard was never about security. It’s about who they’re scared will actually show up. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Corrupt Trump’s speech tonight is a grievance dump dressed up as a national address — six-year-old lies about an election he lost, because doing something real about your rent, your groceries, or your healthcare would actually require work. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Ana Navarro said what everyone’s thinking: nobody around Trump has the spine to tell him he’s lying, or insane, or both. If Biden spent six years claiming without evidence that he didn’t lose, men in white coats would’ve hauled him off stage. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Trump can’t accept that Americans chose not to rehire him in 2020. So now it’s nationalize elections, rewrite who gets to vote, and call it “security.” Sen. Warner nailed it: this sounds like it’s ripped from a dystopian novel. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Enough is enough — Trump’s election claims aren’t “concerns,” they’re baseless conspiracies and dangerous disinformation, full stop. Every time we let it slide as just “Trump being Trump,” we hand him the win. Call it out, every single time. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
“Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020. That’s not my opinion, it’s a fact.” — Rev. Raphael Warnock, reminding everyone that counted, recounted, audited, and litigated votes don’t care how many times you relitigate them. He lost. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Elections don’t run themselves. They run because poll workers show up, local officials do their jobs, and voters show up right behind them. Every one of us holds up a piece of this system. That’s not a weakness in the design. That’s the whole point, and it works. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Michael Waldman of the Brennan Center just cut through the noise: the real defense of safe, secure elections this fall isn’t a speech — it’s voters showing up. Vote early. Have confidence. That’s how democracy actually gets protected. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Corrupt Trump calls 2020 our least secure election, but his own agencies confirmed it was actually the most secure in history. No votes were deleted or changed. Repeating a lie tonight doesn't make it true. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Every lost election is “rigged.” Every embarrassing fact is “fake news.” Every inconvenient truth is a “hoax.” Notice a pattern? It only kicks in the moment they lose. Reality doesn’t bend to protect anyone’s ego. Elections are safe and secure. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Mail-in voting is a secure, century-old tradition in American elections. It is not radical, and one person’s inability to accept an election loss from five years ago doesn't change the facts. Don't let lies cost you your vote. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Voter suppression doesn’t beat organized people. Learn your state’s deadlines. Check your registration, then get your people to check theirs too. Volunteer with groups getting voters registered and trained as poll workers. Fighting back is a to-do list, not a mood. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Your neighbors run your polling place. Local officials double-check every count by hand. That’s not a security risk, that’s the security. Poll workers and local officials keep our elections safe and secure,and that’s a fact. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Excellent reminder before tonight’s speech: this is the same man who badgered a Republican Secretary of State to “find” 11,760 votes that never existed. He was lying then. He’s lying now. And it’s not about 2020, it’s cover for contesting the midterms. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Massie just said what most Republicans won’t: “We won all the damn elections.” If the system were rigged against the GOP, they wouldn’t control the House, Senate, White House, and much of the Supreme Court. The fraud narrative was never about security. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Sen Ossoff just put it perfectly: tonight’s primetime address is Trump serving up 6-year-old sour grapes as national television. The world’s most famous sore loser still can’t let go of 2020 — because admitting he lost means admitting he could lose again. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Trump once called Georgia demanding officials hand him 11,000 votes that didn’t exist. It didn’t work then & it won’t fly now. Sen. Warnock’s reply: “We are unmoved.” Georgia isn’t intimidated by a man who’s been relitigating his own loss for six years. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Josh Shapiro put it plainly: as long as he’s Governor, Pennsylvania will defend free, fair, safe, and secure elections, no matter who tries to stand in the way. That’s what real leadership on election integrity actually sounds like. Not a liar’s speech in primetime. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Gov. Shapiro said it best: the President doesn’t run our elections. County officials do — Republicans and Democrats alike. Trump can give all the speeches he wants. He still doesn’t get a vote in how Pennsylvania counts its ballots. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
Asked if he’ll defend taxpayer payouts to convicted Jan 6 rioters, Todd Blanche REFUSES to say no. He hides behind ‘we always vigorously defend our cases’ instead of rejecting a slush fund for insurrectionists. This is who Trump wants as AG. Call your senators and demand a NO vote. #BlockBlanche
Republicans gutted food assistance for 770,000 kids — then bragged about it. Go read their comments. These are real children. It’s summer. No school lunches to fall back on. And those Republicans are gleeful about hungry kids in the richest country on Earth. #RepublicansStarveChildren
When a governor has to stand up and say “there’s no money to feed hungry kids” — while the same administration funds a UFC arena and a $600M ballroom — something has gone deeply wrong. These aren’t budget abstractions. These are kids going hungry. #RepublicansStarveChildren
