    he made it impossible for himself to do so.

    And he’s still not convicted of treason.

    Ah, that needs a little bit more recursive thinking.
    Because he made anyone liable for life prosecutable, as soon as he’s fired, the next USSCJ will be allowed to sue him for every crime he made, b4, during, and after he’s fired.
    There’s no more statues of limitations, ever.
    It's a pandora that can't be resealed.

    The U.S. National Security Agency and other military intelligence and cybersecurity forces will guard election systems during the November midterms, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday.

    Pretty sure all this is illegal, but Americans really no longer care.

    I care but I also have no idea what to do.

    "guard election systems" is he saying he's going to have troops at the polls?

    Edit: I still don't see any other sources reporting that this is the case and the only thing on that site resembling proof is

    In a memo dated Sept. 22 and publicly announced Monday, Hegseth directed defense intelligence officials to mobilize every resource “to defend our election infrastructure from foreign malign influence and ensure that every lawful voter can cast their ballot free from foreign intimidation, coercion, or fear.”

    Which doesn't say anything about troops at polls
