@ realtinapeters: I feel it is important to speak out against the travesty we are seeing happen in Colorado.

The Democrats have once again shown that if you do not stay within their party line, they will try to destroy you.

Governor Jared Polis commuted 9 sentences and pardoned 35 people. But the outrage from Colorado Democrats is aimed at Governor Polis and me. They are attacking the governor for showing mercy, and they have put a bullseye on a 70-year-old, nonviolent, first-time offender.

Doesn’t that make you wonder why?

It should be obvious to Democrats and Republicans alike that they have something to hide. It is so obvious that they are willing to continue destroying people’s lives to cover it up.

The real victims are the people of Colorado. The real victims are every voter who deserves honest, fair and transparent elections.

I thank Governor Polis for being willing to stand up in the middle of this persecution and do what he believed was right.

I have always said I will never back down, I will never give up, and I will never give in. I will always stand for truth, transparency, and fairness in our elections.

No matter how hard people like Jenna Griswold and Phil Weiser try to cover up what was done to the people of Colorado, I will keep speaking the truth.

The censure of Governor Polis shows just how radical the left has truly become. And if they are this afraid of mercy being shown to one whistleblower, the public should ask what they are still trying so hard to hide.

I’m John Bisognano, President of the NDRC and affiliates. Democracy defender. Map nerd. President Obama White House alum. Boston sports guy. 

A year ago, President Trump stood on the White House lawn and said he was “entitled” to 5 more seats in Texas - kicking off a mid-decade gerrymandering crisis. Missouri, North Carolina, and Florida followed suit – passing even more extreme gerrymanders. And just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Southern states immediately moved to redraw their maps and diminish Black voting power.

The NDRC and our affiliates are fighting back against the manipulation of maps and suppression of people's voices in our elections. AMA about redistricting/the great gerrymandering crisis.

May 20, 2026 - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) introduced legislation to ban super PACs: "Billionaires would not be able to pour huge amounts of money into super PACs, and it would end the era of unlimited spending and put power back into the hands of the people."

Florida, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, Missouri, and several other southern states have dashed to redistricting to eliminate the influence of non-whites in their states.

Summary - In this episode of The Kyle Kulinski Show, host Kyle Kulinski discusses several urgent political topics, focusing heavily on what he describes as Donald Trump’s efforts to undermine upcoming midterm elections.

Key segments of the video include:

• Trump’s 'Election Integrity Army': Kulinski highlights recent social media posts where Donald Trump claims he will mobilize a larger "election integrity army" for the 2026 midterms (3:36-4:13). Kulinski expresses alarm, framing this as a direct threat to democratic processes and election fairness, citing past actions like ballot purging and concerns over the use of the National Guard or ICE at polling places (4:45-6:21).
• Supreme Court and Voting Rights: The host criticizes the Supreme Court for its role in rolling back Voting Rights Act protections, which he argues has led to immediate disenfranchisement efforts in various southern states (4:28-4:42, 7:33-8:23).
• Democratic Strategy in Virginia: Kulinski criticizes Virginia Democratic Senate Majority Leader Scott Suravel for ruling out "extreme" measures to combat Republican gerrymandering in the state (9:01-10:23). He argues that Democrats are failing to match Republican aggression in defending democracy, stating that "extremism in defense of democracy is no vice" (10:23-11:28).

Additional topics mentioned for later in the video:

• The regime’s leaked documents regarding "left-wing extremists" and the application of NSPM7 (0:27-0:58).
• Commentary on Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr.’s policy recommendations (0:59-1:32).

From PBS News' Liz Landers:

I just asked (@)potus if he would send the National Guard or ICE to voting locations in November.

He did not rule it out.

The president: “Well you know what. I’d do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections. We have to have honest elections."

-----

President Donald Trump, when asked Tuesday about the possibility of federal agents at polling places during the November midterm elections, told PBS News’ Liz Landers that he supports "anything" to ensure "honest elections."

Federal law bars the deployment of “troops or armed men” at polling stations and prohibits voter intimidation. The Department of Homeland Security told state officials earlier this year that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will not be present at voting locations during the midterm elections.

Yet other Trump administration officials have not unequivocally knocked down the idea. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said earlier this month that he was “not sure of the uproar of the risk of having a Border Patrol or an ICE agent at a polling location, or looking into whether somebody is voting that shouldn't be.”

Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections; some municipalities allow them to vote in local elections.

May 7, 2026 - The Justice Department pressed forward on Trump’s top legal and political priorities on several fronts Thursday. That includes relitigating the 2020 election by investigating voting records in Georgia and legally targeting lawmakers and groups seen as hostile to the president’s agenda. Justice correspondent Ali Rogin joins Amna Nawaz with the latest.
