CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.

Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.
“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”
The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.
It’s MUCH harder to rig a Congressional election than a presidential election. In a presidential election, you only have to rig one race, in a handful of swing states.
To rig a Congressional election, you have to rig a lot more elections, over 400 districts. Even if you remove the solid Red and solid Blue districts, and only count on those that might swing either way, it would still probably be better than 100 elections, which will be overseen by locals.
That’s why they are trying to game the TOTAL number of districts, rather than the individual races. Unfortunately for them, they’ve been getting pushback from the courts, while inspiring California to fight fire with fire, and redraw their own , and do it legally. Their greedy duplicitous mess may well backfire against them. MAGA only has a very narrow lead right now. If any more MAGAs resign before election day, the House may flip even before the election. California adding five more Blue seats, could easily make the difference, and flip the House to the Democrats.
Then they have to govern responsibly and courageously, which they’ve almost never done in the past.
