> “In [Fiscal Year] 2025, out of the over 419 million travelers CBP processed at ports of entry, CBP only searched the electronic devices of 55,318 international travelers,” the agency wrote, or 0.0013%.
The harassment is targeted at critics & opponents of the current regime. The message is very clear: Be afraid of us. Be very afraid
There are 33 days remaining until election day. Vote out all the incumbents.

  Assuming that the election actually works.
  What about having UN observers on the ground to ensure fair elections, like the countries this administration is so found of?

    We already established precedent (Biden election results disputes) that we don't get to question how fair the elections are.

    Except this time, the regime in charge taking public action to tamper and interfere with elections, including threats of intimidation at polling stations. Red state governments are outright gloating that they're gerrymandering their districts based on party lines to retain power.
    Even if Dems take the House and Senate, this can't be called a fair election.
