"Show your work." Nevada's election chief says the Trump admin has provided no evidence of voter fraud. Nevada is "ready for battle" to defend its elections, warns @cisconv.bsky.social. #ConnectwithJacob
Has the GOP found its backbone? Or are two scorned Senators seizing an opportunity to get back at Trump? Either way you view it – Todd Blanche’s AG nomination is in trouble. And Trump’s infatuation with reviving his $1.8B slush fund isn’t helping. #ConnectwithJacob

The gov’t has linked progressive activists to Cuba’s “campaign of subversion”. And has tied left-wing groups to foreign influence by China. People’s Forum Executive Director Manolo De Los Santos says it’s just another attempt to silence dissent. “I'm an agent of my own conscience.” #ConnectwithJacob
“The country’s on fire,” says @benwikler.bsky.social. He helped build a year-round organizing machine in Wisconsin that beat back entrenched GOP power. “You can’t start by lecturing or imposing, you have to start by finding a shared value.” #ConnectWithJacob
