The 2020 election was won fairly by President Joe Biden, but Trump supporters, including their hero, have baselessly cast doubt on our election process. That, in turn, has brought violence to poll workers, voter fraud has been committed on the right, and our democracy is on the brink. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner isn't messing around. NBC News reports: Donald Trump's team once again targets large, majority nonwhite cities in swing states like Pennsylvania with claims of election fraud, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner issued a warning to anyone thinking about interfering with elections in America's birthplace: "F around and find out."

"I'm not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn't, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure that we keep the peace at our polling places and in our state." Trump tried to walk back his violent rhetoric on Truth Social, and it doesn't make sense.

In a weird moment, conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt ripped off his headset and stormed off the set of the Washington Post First Look podcast because Jonathan Capehart didn't care for being lectured over journalistic integrity by the right wing blowhard. Ruth Marcus is also a member of the podcast team as the discussion turned to Trump and voting in Pennsylvania where Trump has been littering the grounds with voter fraud allegations already.

After serving in the U. S. Senate for four terms, people often ask me about how I think about this coming Presidential election.
