President Trump said on Thursday that the US will launch additional attacks on Iran for a second day in a row and threatened to take over Iran's energy and oil infrastructure. Trump announced on Truth Social earlier that the US will be hitting Iran "VERY HARD TONIGHT" Iran and taking Kharg Island, Iran's oil export hub, "in the not too distant future." Trump said the US will "assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela." The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT.

The prospect that a group tied to White House adviser Stephen Miller may be working behind the scenes to meddle in the upcoming election has become so alarming that an Arizona county attorney, who endorsed Donald Trump for president, has asked a court to intervene.According to MS NOW reporting by Ja'han Jones, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell—who gained national prominence questioning Christine Blasey Ford during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearing—is leading the charge against America First Legal's influence over the Maricopa County Recorder's Office, which administers elections.Recorder Justin Heap, who has previously encouraged the Trump administration's attempts to seize sensitive Arizona voter data, has allegedly allowed America First Legal to exercise sweeping authority over his office. This comes as Trump has openly called for Republicans to "take over the voting" in major cities, including Phoenix.In a June 8 legal filing, Mitchell's lawyers asked Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Scott Blaney to rein in America First Legal, describing the group's actions as an "unprecedented power grab.""The Recorder lacks any explicit or implicit statutory authority to hire outside counsel—let alone a partisan organization—to serve as in-house counsel on 'all' matters under his 'purview,'" Mitchell's lawyers wrote, according to the Arizona Republic.According to Jones, America First Legal is advising Heap's office as he battles the Republican-controlled Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in a dispute over official powers. According to Democracy Docket, the conflict escalated when Heap allegedly seized election equipment and provisional ballot envelopes while votes were being cast in a March local election, prompting county supervisors to warn of "grave chain-of-custody concerns."Mitchell's legal team identified six examples of America First Legal exceeding its intended scope, according to Arizona Republic reporting. The group has claimed authority over all early voting matters, directed election officials to disregard directives from Mitchell's office, threatened prosecution over drop boxes, and sent warning letters signaling new litigation against the board.According to Jones, "The fact that even conservative officials are sounding the alarm here shows how extreme, unprecedented and potentially threatening to democracy this situation could prove to be."
A group of 10 Democratic senators and the party's top election lawyers quietly convened to game out responses to what they fear could be an unprecedented attempt to disrupt or overturn the results of this fall's midterm elections.The closed-door session, first reported by Politico, brought together a roster of high-profile legal and political strategists, including former Attorney General Eric Holder and prominent Democratic election attorney Marc Elias, to walk senators through a series of extreme yet increasingly plausible scenarios. Among them: armed federal agents stationed at polling locations, the Justice Department seizing ballots in competitive races and a foreign-backed disinformation campaign powered by AI-generated deepfakes."Trump has talked about stealing the election, violating the election, perverting the election, over and over again," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who convened last week's meeting. "We are going to be prepared for anything that he throws at us."The tabletop exercises, the first major effort from an election-protection task force Schumer launched earlier this year, produced concrete legal playbooks. Participants mapped out injunctions to block armed agents or citizens from appearing at voting sites, and drafted lawsuit strategies to compel the Trump administration to return ballots if confiscated in key battleground contests. They also coordinated messaging plans to counter disinformation in real time across campaigns, elected officials and advocacy groups.Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Alex Padilla (D-CA) were among those who participated, and a second exercise is already being scheduled for July.The urgency behind the effort stems from a string of actions the Trump administration has already taken. It has seized 2020 ballots from swing counties in Georgia and Arizona, sought confidential voter files from nearly every state, and pushed executive orders aimed at restricting mail-in voting and federalizing parts of the election process. When asked last month whether he would send troops or immigration agents to polling sites, Trump said he would do "anything necessary" to ensure honest elections.Democrats are careful to acknowledge the limits of their power as the minority party — they cannot force hearings, and most legal battles are expected to be fought by state attorneys general and outside groups rather than Congress. Some in the party have also privately warned against catastrophizing the issue, noting it could suppress Democratic turnout as much as Republican tactics.“This administration is one that wants people to feel alone, they want people to be afraid," said Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, who took part in the war games. “This exercise is actually an exercise in confidence and trustbuilding."But Schumer signaled the preparations will continue regardless."We know that the threats are broad," Schumer said. "They evolve, and we're preparing for them."
