Democrat Senate Candidate Arrested For Threatening Trump’s Life
THE 2026 RESTORATION: DEFENDING THE REPUBLIC AGAINST SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACIES AND DOMESTIC TERROR
WASHINGTON BUREAU | May 6, 2026
The United States capital is currently navigating a period of unprecedented intensity as the 2026 Restoration moves with Wartime Speed to dismantle the "Deep State" and secure the nation’s future. Under the doctrine of Administrative Lethality, the Trump administration is not only auditing federal agencies but is also facing a surge in radicalized domestic threats that aim to sabotage the integrity of the presidency and the safety of the American people.
I. THE CHANDLER ARREST: UNMASKING RADICAL CANDIDACY
In a shocking development for the 2028 election cycle, Raymond Chandler, a Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, was arrested by the FBI and Secret Service in Pittsburgh. Chandler is accused of making graphic and violent threats against President Donald J. Trump and members of Congress.
According to federal affidavits, Chandler's rhetoric escalated into "treasonous" demands:
Voicemail Threats: Chandler allegedly left voicemails for a member of Congress describing a mob of 1,000 people who would "pull you out of your house and they slit your throat".
Targeting the President: On April 29, he reportedly demanded that a firearm be put to President Trump's head to "pull the trigger".
Radical Ideology: Chandler justified his violent calls by citing "wealth concentration" and labeling the President as "the antichrist".
Platform of Extremism: His campaign website highlights a platform of "abolishing ICE" and "taxing billionaires," positions that Republican leaders argue have fueled this radicalized behavior.
II. THE KALORAMA AUDIT: DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY
While law enforcement handles domestic threats, General Michael Flynn is pushing for Administrative Lethality within the halls of power. Flynn has publicly called for a Department of Justice raid on former President Barack Obama’s Kalorama mansion in Washington, D.C..
Flynn argues that if Mar-a-Lago could be raided, then the "Kalorama Command Center" must be audited for its role in allegedly managing the Biden administration and laying the groundwork for the Russia collusion investigation. Flynn has called for a dedicated task force and a specialized prosecutor to handle this "very quickly" to ensure the survival of the Republic.
III. THE HILTON ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: JUSTICE FOR COLE ALLEN
The DOJ, led by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, is pursuing "Liquid Gold" evidence against Cole Tomas Allen, 31, who attempted to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Clinical Prosecution: Allen faces charges for attempted assassination and discharging a firearm in a crime of violence.
Calculated Strike: Pirro noted that Allen’s intent was to "bring down as many high-ranking Cabinet officials as he could".
Preventative Measures: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine has requested that Allen be detained without bail to prevent further acts of "seditious conspiracy".
IV. LEGISLATIVE VICTORIES: THE 224-200 FARM BILL
Amidst the security crises, the 119th Congress has achieved a "Blockbuster" victory. The House approved a budget-neutral Farm Bill with a vote of 224-200, the furthest advancement of such policy since 2018.
Economic Stability: The bill addresses farm bankruptcies and production costs, providing "Liquid Gold" relief to the Heartland.
Bipartisan Shift: Support from rural Democrats was crucial in securing this win for agricultural districts ahead of the midterms.
DHS Funding: Speaker Mike Johnson is now working to end the 76-day partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, ensuring that "Administrative Lethality" is applied to border security as well as agricultural policy.
As DNI Tulsi Gabbard prepares to release more declassified documents showing "overwhelming evidence" of a "years-long coup," the 2026 Restoration stands firm. The administration's message is clear: whether the threat is a radical candidate in Pittsburgh or a "shadow government" in D.C., accountability and the law will prevail with Wartime Speed.
Nearly 150,000 California Mail Ballots Rejected In Primary
California election officials are examining why nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots were rejected during the state’s June primary, with late-arriving ballots accounting for most of the increase.
The higher rejection rate comes despite years of election law changes designed to make voting more accessible and ensure more ballots are ultimately counted.
According to data compiled by the California Secretary of State’s office, 148,241 mail-in ballots were rejected during the June primary, representing 1.73% of all mail ballots returned.
That marks an increase from the 2024 primary, when 108,982 ballots were rejected, or 1.56% of all mail ballots cast.
The largest reason for rejection was ballots arriving too late to qualify under California law.
State data shows that 93,479 ballots were rejected because they failed to meet the state’s deadline requirements.
California allows mail ballots to arrive up to seven days after Election Day, provided they are postmarked on or before Election Day.
Voting experts believe many of the rejected ballots received postmarks dated after Election Day, making them ineligible to be counted even if they arrived within the seven-day grace period.
Kim Alexander, president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation, said the timing of postal processing appears to be a significant concern.
“Ballots rejected due to lateness are caused primarily to being postmarked too late to count, not because they arrived too late to count,” Alexander said.
Election experts have questioned whether recent operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service may be contributing to delayed postmarks.
Earlier this year, a group of mostly Democratic U.S. senators wrote to the Postal Service expressing concern that mail-processing changes could affect ballot handling during federal elections.
Updated Postal Service procedures mean postmarks may reflect when mail is processed at regional facilities rather than when it first enters the mail system.
Because processing centers have been consolidated in some areas, election officials have warned that postmark timing could be affected.
Before the June primary, California election officials encouraged voters to mail ballots as early as possible because of potential postal delays.
The June election also featured a highly competitive race for governor, which some experts believe encouraged many voters to wait until the final days before casting ballots.
In addition to late-arriving ballots, approximately 44,000 ballots were rejected because election officials determined the voter’s signature did not match the signature on file.
Another 8,300 ballots were rejected because the return envelope did not contain a signature.
State records also show that 743 ballots were rejected because those voters had already cast another ballot.
Other rejected ballots involved missing ballots inside return envelopes or multiple ballots submitted in a single envelope.
The highest rejection rate in the state occurred in Tulare County, where 3.52% of returned mail ballots were rejected.
Alpine County and Merced County followed closely, each recording rejection rates of 3.36%.
California has frequently faced criticism for taking weeks to complete vote counting after major elections, largely because state law permits ballots meeting certain requirements to continue arriving after Election Day.
Following the June primary, President Donald Trump again criticized California’s election system, while the Department of Justice opened an investigation into election administration in Los Angeles County.
Election experts emphasize that the increase in rejected ballots should not be interpreted as evidence of widespread voter fraud.
A 2025 report by the Brookings Institution found documented cases of mail ballot fraud remained extremely rare, estimating roughly four cases for every 10 million mail ballots cast, The Associated Press reported.
State officials have not identified evidence of widespread fraud connected to the June primary, but the increase in rejected ballots is expected to receive additional scrutiny as election administrators evaluate whether changes in postal operations, voter behavior or election procedures contributed to the higher rejection rate.
