Donald Trump is using the same old playbook to discredit our elections in advance. He knows Republicans are in trouble this November and wants to lay the predicate to interfere, even before a single ballot is cast. He fears voters and facing their growing wrath over rising costs and corruption.

By now it should be obvious that Trump intends to repeat his playbook from 2020, and attempt to deny any result he does not like. And tonight was just another attempt by him to avoid accountability and defeat in November.
- AS
What the President presented tonight was not a leveling with the American people. It was a renewed attempt to inject fear and cloud reality ahead of the next election in November and provide pretext for seizing voter data, and discrediting and interfering with election results.
- AS
And Trump himself has discounted these threats as hoaxes in the past, breaking from bipartisan tradition of taking the hard work of our intelligence community seriously.
- AS
Seasoned FBI and other federal agents have been pulled off the beat to chase conspiracies and aid Trump’s chaotic and unlawful deportation agenda.
- AS
Under Trump’s leadership, he has gutted resources committed to combatting foreign malign influence. Funding for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and local election security grants have been slashed under the Trump administration.
- AS
But when it comes to identifying real threats and giving our election administrators the resources to fight them, Trump’s actions speak louder than his words tonight.
- AS
He has also repeatedly ignored and dismissed previous, credible intelligence about foreign interference in elections because it did not fit his political agenda.
- AS
The reality is that foreign governments do try to influence our elections—in fact, Trump has previously encouraged Russia to do exactly that.
- AS
He is merely trying to undermine confidence in our elections, so he can seize voter data under the guise of protecting it, and subvert elections he is convinced his party is losing. He will not succeed.
- AS
Even so, tonight he produced no evidence that China or any other country manipulated a single U.S. voting system or changed a single vote.
- AS
All of his claims and the selective release of any documents must be treated with the greatest skepticism given the President’s many lies and misrepresentations about our elections.
- AS
Terrified that voters will send his party packing in the midterms, he is falling back on some old lies and putting out new ones.
- AS
Trump knows he has failed to deliver on any of his campaign promises, has raised costs of American families instead of lowering them, and gotten us into another Middle Eastern war nobody wanted.

Tonight, the same President who once badgered Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State to find 11,780 votes that didn’t exist, so he could overtake Biden’s lead in the state in 2020, put out a whole new set of lies about our elections, past and present.

So about that speech:🧵

Hard to keep pace with the President’s corrupt profiteering off the presidency, but here’s yet another scheme, this time to save his failing social media business: www.cnn.com/2026/07/16/b...

He was lying then, and he will be lying now. Both to continue to contest the last election he lost, and to set the stage to contest the midterm elections to come.
- AS
As you watch the President’s address tonight, keep this in mind: Trump was the guy badgering the Republican Secretary of State to “find” 11,760 votes in the 2020 election that did not exist — but would have been just enough to defeat Biden in that state.

In a normal government, the CDC would be mobilizing, tracking down the source of the Cyclospora parasite and isolating it. In this government, we've got this guy in charge:

Americans are paying skyrocketing prices at the pump thanks to Trump's war in Iran. Meanwhile, who's winning? The world’s six biggest oil companies are projected to make $94 BILLION combined in profits this year. I'm seeking a federal investigation into potential price gouging by these companies.

My team is closely monitoring the search and rescue operations for the capsized boat in the San Francisco Bay, and I am praying for the families of the three missing individuals and the man who died. Thank you to our first responders for all their tireless efforts. www.kqed.org/news/1209109...

Americans have spent a combined $56 BILLION more at the pump since the start of Trump's war with Iran. And he’s not even close to bringing this war to an end. www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

What Todd Blanche has done to our Justice Department under Trump should disqualify him from becoming Attorney General. I break it down: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXti...

Int’l monitors have documented hundreds of these incidents in recent years, including in CA and across our nation. More countries are engaging in threats, intimidation, and violence inside other nations. This legislation would respond to & deter this growing threat & help keep it from our shores.

My new bipartisan bill with Sen. Curtis codifies the first federal definition of transnational repression, centralizes oversight, and enhances criminal penalties for perpetrators.

Two unarmed people shot by ICE in less than a week, the latest now in Maine. Republicans, instead of focusing on passing enforceable guardrails to stop ICE's terror and brutal tactics, have decided to give this unchecked agency billions more through reconciliation.

By forcing a new vote to end this war, we make it clear that Congress insists on the removal of troops from the region barring an authorization of force accompanied by a truly viable strategy — both of which have been lacking.
- AS
Any assertion by the Trump administration that he gets 60 more days to act without Congress has no foundation in law.
- AS
The events of the last week prove why Congress must reassert its war powers authority. We were promised the war would be over for months. And now in a matter of days we've gone from a bad U.S.-Iran deal to more strikes, another blockade, and added turmoil that will only drive prices higher.

In order to help small manufacturers compete in an increasingly small and globalized world, I’m leading bipartisan legislation to require the Department of Commerce to release funding that is essential to hundreds of thousands of manufacturers across the country.

An 8-story-tall Trump certainly qualifies as propaganda and self-aggrandizement. It also demonstrates once again how much he identifies with other authoritarians he admires – with military parades and gold-plated makeovers of the White House.

- AS
Last year, I exposed more than $50,000 being spent on other giant Trump banners at other government buildings across D.C. Congress has long banned using federal funds for propaganda – and this self-aggrandizement is a clear violation of that law.
- AS
Donald Trump also spent more than $114,000 on banners at the FAA, with his name splashed across the bottom.

There’s now a new banner featuring Donald Trump and an “American First” slogan, which cost $39,000 to print and hang at the Department of the Interior.
