Trump blasts decision that blocks mail-in voting executive orders: ‘This court has really let our country down’ – live
TL;DR
President Donald Trump sharply criticized the Supreme Court decision blocking his restrictions on mail-in voting for the midterm elections, saying the court had let the country down. Trump called mail-in voting a laughing stock around the world, even though he has used it several times himself. Meanwhile, FBI director Kash Patel is testifying before the Senate judiciary committee, where its top Democrat Dick Durbin called Patel the least qualified and most partisan FBI director in the nation's history.
Nauti's Take
The ruling reinforces mail-in voting as an established way to cast a ballot and gives election officials the advantage of planning certainty ahead of the midterms. The risk lies in escalation: when a president openly attacks courts, trust in election results erodes, and such debates are fertile ground for AI-generated disinformation.
