Trump Responds To Claim He’ll Declare National Emergency Ahead of Midterms
President Donald Trump denied any knowledge of a plan to declare a national emergency related to the upcoming midterm elections on Friday. He responded to a reporter’s inquiry about a draft executive order by asking, “Who told you that?” and stated that he had “never heard about it.”
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a Democrat who is widely believed to be preparing a 2028 presidential bid, reposted the clip on X and wrote: “Donald, you’re not denying it.”
The remarks were made in light of a Washington Post report that pro-Trump activists are proposing to cite alleged foreign election interference as a way to expand presidential authority over voting.
With the midterm elections approaching later this year, Trump has frequently expressed concerns about election security and potential fraud. The Republican Party has been advocating for new voter ID measures, which would impose additional restrictions on voter registration, Newsweek reports.
The GOP argues that these measures are necessary to prevent illegal immigrants from voting—an occurrence that is largely unlawful and infrequently happens. However, critics contend that the proposed SAVE Act will create unnecessary barriers for American citizens exercising their constitutional rights.
Earlier this month, Trump stated that he would enforce voter ID requirements for the midterm elections, regardless of whether Congress passes the SAVE Act. He indicated that he would implement this plan through an executive order, which has not yet been issued.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that pro-Trump activists claimed the rationale for the proposed order stemmed from allegations of Chinese interference in the 2020 election—an election Trump has persistently claimed was stolen from him, despite multiple investigations concluding otherwise.
On Friday, Democracy Docket published what is said to be a draft of a 17-page executive order outlining significant changes to how U.S. elections are conducted. The document, dated April 12, 2025, is intended for implementation in the 2026 midterm elections.
The proposed order presents a national framework for elections, pending necessary changes at both the congressional and state levels. Key features include the exclusive use of paper ballots, stringent regulations regarding absentee voting, and a much-debated requirement for voter identification to verify U.S. citizenship.
Additionally, the order specifies that all election equipment must be manufactured in the United States, mandates non-networked voter registration systems, and prohibits the use of electronic vote counting.
Concerns have been raised about the president’s proposals to federalize elections, as the U.S. Constitution empowers states to determine how elections are administered. That has resulted in each state establishing its own systems and rules for conducting elections.
That said, the Constitution also assigns Congress some authority over federal elections, which is the basis for the SAVE Act, which would require, among other measures, a government-issued identification to vote.
“This proposal is outright illegal, and it will not stand. The Constitution explicitly grants the power to regulate elections to state legislatures and Congress, not the president,” NAACP National President Derrick Johnson said.
“Trump is incredibly weak, pathetic, and overwhelmingly unpopular with the American people. That’s why he’s throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. And this spaghetti will not stick. His administration has so poorly failed us on the economy that his only option now, to maintain power in the midterms, is to resort to illegal orders,” he claimed, though several indicators are better now than when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were in office.
Added Bryan Steil, a Wisconsin Republican and chairman of the House Administration Committee: “Americans should be confident their elections are being run with integrity—including commonsense voter ID requirements, clean voter rolls, and citizenship verification. These reforms will improve voter confidence, bolster election integrity, and make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat.”
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
