Rachel Maddow warned viewers on Monday that President Donald Trump plans to interfere with midterm election results, following the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling against his executive order instructing the US Postal Service (USPS) to block states from distributing and collecting mail-in ballots.

Trump’s order, which he signed last March, would’ve directed the USPS to refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to anyone whose information hadn’t been properly submitted to a new state citizenship list maintained by the federal government.


“Trump is counting on confusion, uncertainty, and a lack of confidence in the mail-in voting system to suppress voter turnout,” she said.

    Lol, bruh

    Sweden: 450,295 km2 USA: … 9,833,520 km2

    We are 20x the size and very spread out.

    Sweden has a population of 10 million. 10 of our states have populations well over that. Hell, California has 40 million people.

    Sweden is a beautiful country filled with intelligent and worldy people who have a functional government and solid social net.

    54% of our population have a below 6th grade reading level. A quarter of our population is functionally illiterate.

    We are essentially the ultra-capitalist version of Russia and as advanced as much of our tech is, our civic services are 15 years behind the times.
