John,

Donald Trump just posted that he would sign an executive order to eliminate mail-in ballots and voting machines nationwide, a move that would inject chaos into the upcoming midterm elections and strip millions of Americans of a secure way to vote.

At the same time, he’s urging Texas Republicans to gerrymander new districts, rigging the map to help MAGA Republicans cling to power in Congress.

Trump is already setting the stage to contest the 2026 midterms. And while MAGA media is busy spreading his lies — just like they did in 2020 — the legacy media is in retreat, downplaying Trump’s threats instead of standing up for truth and our democracy.

COURIER won’t stay silent about the threat of another January 6th. We know exactly where this can lead, and we’re building the fastest-growing progressive news network in the country to make sure voters hear the truth — every day, in every community, especially in battleground states that will decide the 2026 elections.

Taken together, this isn’t normal politics. It’s a coordinated strategy to tilt the playing field, sow distrust in the outcome, and manufacture the legal and political chaos that could let him contest or even try to overturn the 2026 midterms — just like he did in 2020.

Donald Trump is often deeply unserious. It’s easy to dismiss posts like his latest as part of a chaos strategy — distractions to pull attention away from stories he doesn’t want us talking about.

But we’ve already seen where Trump’s BS leads. His election lies ballooned into something very real on January 6th.

What happened at the Capitol that day wasn’t spontaneous — it was fueled by Trump’s online posts, amplified by MAGA media, turbocharged by social media algorithms, and ignored by a legacy press too timid to call it what it was. By the time Trump gave his signal, thousands were ready to turn conspiracy into violence.

And now, Trump is priming that same environment again.

His latest post came just after he cited Vladimir Putin, who claimed that “honest elections are impossible with mail-in voting.” It’s a chilling reminder that Trump and Putin share the same playbook: delegitimize democracy, spread doubt, and use chaos to cling to power. They are autocrats cut from the same cloth.

We can’t be silent in the face of that.

COURIER exists so the truth cuts through the noise. We’re building the fastest-growing progressive news network in the country — reaching millions online every day and running local newsrooms in battleground states where the 2026 elections will be decided.

Will you chip in $25 or whatever you can right now to help COURIER make sure voters hear the truth about Trump’s latest election lies? We can let MAGA lead us down the road to another January 6th, or worse. [[link removed]]
