You can see Kara Swisher implies that they might use information "taken" under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Clinton adds to that, suggesting that there could be Social Security numbers "in private hands," talks about Elon Musk, and says that they have to "hold people accountable" because they can't get away with "manipulating the data."

Truly, Hillary Clinton, the woman whose campaign was involved with the Steele dossier, is the last person who has any credibility on this, the woman pushing the fake Russia collusion hoax. It's sort of hilarious that...

Only 25% of Americans said political surveys correctly estimate votes, according to a new POLITICO Poll, conducted by PF Global. The result reveals that a significant portion of the public lacks faith in the industry as it contends with accusations of consistently failing to reach Republican voters. "Failing" to reach? Or just, you know, intentionally not trying to reach? This mistrust, of course, isn't new. Roughly one in four respondents say that polls showing a blue wave coming in November are wrong, and they expect Republicans to win key races. And 41% of Americans — including voters of both parties...

It's Election Day in America, and already we have a familiar problem: Voting machines aren't working. This time, the trouble is in Westchester County, New York, where ballot scanners began rejecting voters' ballots shortly after polls opened at 6 AM Tuesday.
