President Trump said late Saturday that he would issue an executive order to require voter identification for all U.S. elections, a continuation of his efforts to overhaul the nation’s election laws, which he has long attacked and falsely blamed for his 2020 election loss.
It's *Frump, and he's a complete fascist
You're journalists, not stenographers. Trump has zero power to compel states to require voter ID. ZERO. So maybe freaking say that in your headline.
Fuck you spreading his lies. Where is the reporting that he has ZERO AUTHORITY to require fuck all with regards to elections? Fucking Nazi shills.
Can a ghost issue executive orders?
in case anyone at the NYT reads it, this is the post that lead me to stop following you: neither your post, the headline, nor the excerpt mentioned he doesn't have authority to do that. i'm sure it's in the article, likely obfuscated. but c'mon. a minimum for journalistic practices would be nice ✌️
Like with the gerrymandering push, this also falls OUTSIDE of POTUS's duties under the Constitution. So the EO will be unconstitutional on its face. youtu.be/6Qp5AZZ-N2A
Another of the multitudes of broken Biden campaign promises was to strengthen voting rights. Too busy funding Israel's genocide on Palestine.
Ah its an overhaul..another step to Zimbabwe status.
He issued a suggestion. That's it. He has no authority over state-run election procedures.
So you are just conceding the authority to him? Quit pumping up the authoritarian take over.
Well @nytimes.com The Constitution says he can't! That power belongs to the Congress and the States!
I thought he died. Even if he didn't, he has no power to do this, per usual
you mean the election Trump LIED about?
Strange;Fed Government does NOT control elections; states do. Elections are under attack: tRump wants: No more mail in ballots New ID laws No voting machines Increase in voter age National (RNC) review (Purging) of voter registrations No same day registration No early voting Federalized elections.
Boilerplate NYT three word article opener
Not in his lane. An EO is not a law but a wish.
Which he has no authority to do. Feels like an important point to making the headline.
Trump has zero authority to mandate anything about voting. That's the headline. Jesus. Stop this. Why?
He doesn’t have the authority to do that on his own. You’d think you’d mention that right away.
I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL…
Cool idgaf what he signs his name on I don’t respect him or his unlawful conduct. I will obey my State laws regarding voting and Trump can shove a pineapple up his ass if he has a problem with that. Most of this regime’s actions are failing in court. I’m just not going to obey them, period.
You forgot to mention that it's ILLEGAL for him to do this and that EOs are not law and that he's a felon and that he's a rapist and that, at best, he's a creep towards little girls (likely far worse). NYT is failing to do its duty to protect America and our democracy.
Your job, NYT, is to be more than Trump's stenographer. Do better.
As always, your framing sucks ass - way to keep the streak alive!
Here comes the Epstein issues...Trump has thrown so much shit at the fan this past month trying to get America to forget about his pedophilia problems.
Justice failed us, and generations pay the price
And why across this headline, thumbnail, and post do you not once say that he lacks the constitutional authority to do any of that?
But he did it. Just like he provoked an insurrection in 2021.
That's not the point. The point is that he gets away with this shit in part because our godawful media refuses to call illegal things illegal. Calling it an "overhaul" gives him tacit approval or at least creates a permission structure.
Legacy media is owned by billionaire zionists and Trump funders. The very oligarchs that also fund Democrats.
Thank you!!!
This
Because the Times is a yes-man rag that found its stock value surge during the first trump administration and wants back to those glory days
He lacks the constitutional authority for all of his "emergencies".
These editors should be fired.
And my grade-school grandniece issued an order that she was having ice cream for every meal this week. We humor my grandniece, you don't have to humor Trump this way.
“L'état, c'est moi"
Trump has no authority over elections. And stop saying Trump said anything. He's got dementia. Wearing diapers. Sporting a catheter. Has disgusting sores and bruises all over his hands. Cankles the size of Texas. Miller, Wiles and Vought are running the country. Trump's a hired suit.
Too good.
let's just swap out "Executive Order" for "Memo". Because that is all it is. a memo. it is not a law. By framing it as something more than it is, you give Trump power he does not have.

He can't do that. 1. He doesn't have the power, and 2. He's dead.
"doesn't give explicit authority," come on, the law doesn't give me explicit authority to drive on the sidewalk either.
“Overhaul”? Unconstitutional power grab is more like it. The Times is a joke
What the fuck is wrong with you
So “President Trump” said it? He said it to you personally. In a press briefing or an interview. You heard him say it. Or, could it be, as your own article states, it was posted to his social media account?
What happened to the NYT? Here’s the headline: “Trump falsely claimed he could control the nation’s election laws in various ways by signing an EO that has no legal or practical effect. By doing so, Trump again illustrates that he has no comprehension of his legal authority or the Constitution.”
Where is the petulant man child’s evidence re: 2020? Cough it up or shut TF up
Replace the words "explicit authority" with "any authority at all". Stop white washing fascism and doing apologetics for authoritarianism.
NY Times:
He can executive order all day long. That don’t mean it’s a law
“Overhaul.”
Maybe tell your readers that’s unconstitutional, you lazy fucking stenographic fascist mouthpieces?
The Sulzbergers making sure the New York Times always reports dictatorial orders without mentioning the lack of legal power to make them. Because majoritarian democracy is not what they want either. bsky.app/profile/nyti...
The man who can’t walk unaided and looks like his own bad body double is sending what…scrawled notes on a tray of disregarded bland food…delivered to NYT by a third shift nurse?
Fuck Trump. Will someone STAND UP to the Fat Orange Calf?
And the NYT treats illegal acts as possibilities. You're missing the real story by propping up the crazy.
You could mention that this is unconstitutional. But that would require a spine you don't have.
He has zero authority. States run elections. Read The Constitution.
BREAKING NEWS:I will sign an executive order requiring the NYT's news desk and management to come to work naked on Monday.
Wait, let me guess: This EO will be enforced by National Guard stationed at polling locations in Democrat and minority districts, right?
Your lead, which doesn’t mention that states control elections, is why I stopped subscribing to your paper.
Did he issue this? Because he’s been AWOL
bsky.app/profile/joni...
President Trump also said he can assault women because he’s a celebrity, why not focus on that?
Your headline should make it very clear that Executive Orders are not laws and the President has no constitutional authority over election laws. You can do it. There aren’t any other “sides” here. It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s bald fact. You can handle it.
we must have election integrity at all times. we need a fed law that requires: proof of citizenship; voter photo id; 2-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION FOR MAIL IN VOTING, like in banking. then we could vote by cell p/internet. youtu.be/cG6oLbq_vRo
Excutive Orders are not new laws. They are wishlists.
Lawsuit coming in HOT!!!
He has no authority to do this.
Civilians do not need to obey Executive Orders, because Executive Orders are not laws.
Your headlines need to reflect that his actions are unambiguously unconstitutional. This isn't "up for debate," this is basic separation of powers Gov't 101 stuff. Freaking cowards. You're aiding & abetting the destruction of the US Constitution & democracy, giving cover to authoritarianism.
Stenography is not journalism @nytimes.com
We are going to vote with our ballots OR we are going to vote with our guns, but we WILL vote.
Can someone at the Times do an op-ed on what power executive orders have and do not have? That would be, you know, maybe helpful for people and do the job journalists and newspapers should do, inform their readers with facts.
Looks like he is wants the federal government to control elections and take away the rights of states to control their elections!
The only way republicans can win is by cheating
He cannot legally do that and it is unconstitutional, you hacks.
Trump has no authority to do this and he knows it. So, why is he doing it? He intends to use it make a claim of invalidating future elections. He's betting either the courts will concede, or he'll be able to delay and take more power.
He literally cannot do this. He has no authority to do this. Why don’t you say he has no authority to do this instead of pretending he can
Obsessed with whoever private replied to this; keep your secrets 🫶🫶🫶
😄 You can see it in Skythread, if you like
Top-notch stenography, NYT!
Hasn’t that sharpie run dry yet?
did he say it say it or did his social media managers post about it because he is secretly dead
Which he doesn’t have the power to do. Why are you sleepwalking through the biggest news story in centuries?
What about releasing the Epstein files?
The Constitution gives him *no* authority, explicit or otherwise.
How about a headline that informs people that states run elections, not Trump?
The sociopathic, narcissistic, fascist president attempts to subvert American elections so he can try to steal democracy and stay in power until he dies.
An executive order is not a law... and Congress could try to pass such a law.... then maybe you'd have a chance... but you can bet most blue states will disregard such an order as it's not up to him how elections are done.
The fat orange fuck’s executive order has no sway as to how states run their elections.
Trump has NO AUTHORITY to dictate to States how they run elections.
See, this is where you do your job and say “he lacks the constitutional authority to do so, and is a direct threat to Democracy”…
You can just say "he has no authority to do that", you know that, right?
It is weird that constitution does not give EXPlCIT authority! very weird! How many other ways you could have written it NYT, you choose this.
Did he ask the states?
Relying on a fraudster, lying insurrectionist for proof of citizenship is as wise as relying on a disbarred attorney for legal representation. Question: When are courts going to invoke its criminal contempt power to hold DOJ accountable for ignoring its orders? Can’t jail Drump yet but Pammy?
Executive orders are NOT LAW
Good luck with that States are not him. Despicable person.
Does he have the authority to do this ? Because if he doesn’t, this is your duty as journalists to say so !
I can’t support The NY Times with this type of headline. Seriously, say he had no power here.
Trump is not a real president so why is anyone pretending his orders are authentic? Isn't he dead? 😵
Not yet, as far as anyone can tell, although it may be a Weekend at Bernie’s situation. His handlers will play things that way as long as it’s convenient for them.
“Illegal efforts”. Kind of seems like fuck face clearly attempting to exceed his constitutional powers so he can maintain rampant corruption and avoid having files about his pedophilia and money laundering released should be the main story.
www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2881032...
The voting system in Colorado is a gold standard for elections. Signature verification by bi-partisan teams for mail-in ballots. ID required for registration. NYT: maybe run a story on how secure our election system is. Maybe run a story on who is actually committing any vote fraud.
Instead of saying, “The Constitution doesn’t give the president explicit authority over election law,” why can’t you just write, “It’s unconstitutional”? Waiting for your boyfriend CJ Roberts to let you know what he thinks first?
He can try but his “order” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. NYT “say unconstitutional”challenge
How about writing a story about how Republicans called Obama a dictator for E.O.'s that weren't close to anything Trump is doing. You know, be consistent in calling out Republicans like you do Democrats. I can dream....
a continuation of his *unconstitutional* efforts. It's not a debate. Stop normalizing what he's doing. That makes you complicit!
YES ! Well said. Thank you
Now with Federal Troops in place to "monitor" elections in Democratic cities. How much longer is #GOP cowardice going to allow this grifting monster to stay in office? 3 or 4 GOP House vote to impeach; 20 or so GOP Senate votes to convict.
So if Americans want to vote in 2026 they can turn up and hope they're not on some list and snatched away from the polling booth by the 'Election Integrity Force'
Yes. Also 2025. They're doing this now because there are city, county, and state elections this November.
He has no authority to do so. It's like if the Times ordered me to read it. Not gonna happen.
“a continuation of his efforts to overhaul the nation’s election laws” insanely biased framing
The Dementing Madman really thinks his EOs are royal edicts. They aren’t. And you fail everytime you treat this old declining fool as a rational person. Executive orders are not law of the land. Only Congress can pass laws.
The garbage NY Times again posting stupid ass headlines because they are too scared to call out the orange man’s lies. An executive order doesn’t mean anything in this case
Can you at least put in your bylines that he has no authority to change the way voting works?
He can’t do it but the red states will use it as a tool to circumvent their own law-making process under the guise of “compliance with federal law.” It must be struck down.
In 2017, I subscribed to the NYT because it was important to support those outlets that were called "fake news." That sub expired years ago, and this incomplete headline is a reason why I will never subscribe again. Even after all NYT games are behind a pay wall. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
He can take that order and stuff it in his diaper.
“overhaul” is a ridiculous choice of words
Maybe the article is that he constantly “says” unconstitutional shit
Not even a hint in this post that doing so is illegal and unconstitutional.
I hope whichever DOJ stooge tasked to defend this unconstitutional nonsense enjoys getting yelled at by judges
Notice how this isn’t #DougMills getting these shots because he’s only allowed to shoot glamour shots of Trump which isn’t #photojournalism bsky.app/profile/meid...
Imagine writing bullshit in a headline to avoid using the tyrant. Becoming a consistent model of cowardice, NYT.
Maybe the NYT could explain to the public that his royal decrees have no legal authority rather than just dutifully amplifying his agenda setting noise? #journalismfail
It wld be nice if u put in the lede that this move is unconstitutional.
So what?
He has zero authority to do that. Please correct this story and inform your readers of the truth behind his lies.

"Trump will continue to illegally attempt to force voter surpression strategies so the GOP keeps a vice grip on elections since they can't win through policy." Fixed it. Choke on Trump's boot, NYT.
This is illegal. State control their own elections.
As effective as writing it on a bathroom wall. He doesn’t have the authority.

#EpsteinFiles
A continuation of his efforts to overhaul the election laws ? Trump is using executive orders to destroy free & fair elections, just as he’s destroying the fed. gov. like a dictator. Maybe the @nytimes.com should point out this is not how a democracy works.
Has no power to do anything with elections, his eo’s you can use to wipe your ass , he knows republicans are in trouble, they are toxic now
Are you scared to say that’s unconstitutional or just unwilling?
EOs are not laws! #FDT #LXXXVIXLVII #ITMFA
Stockholm syndrome is kicking in hard!
There will be a new sign, very much like Disneyland, which will read: “Must Be This White To Vote.”
When are you complicit assholes going to start writing headlines that contain truthful context? Stop being stenographers. Just because he says he’s doing something doesn’t make it magically possible. He doesn’t have the authority, nor the infrastructure to do so. SAY THAT, YOU FUCKING TRAITORS!
Hey NYTimes, which branch of government has the power to write laws? I think they call it "legislating". Sure would be cool if you would start reporting on Trump through the lense of "is this a function of the Executive, or is this not?" The leading news publication, with the mealiest mouth.
For the 186543 time, you ignorant clowns: an EO is not a law. And for the 987th time, just say he lies about this sort of thing. Falsely blamed is a weak cop out. But the NYT is VERY good at that when Trump is involved.
100% UNCONSTITUTIONAL, you left that part out of the headline
“The Constitution doesn’t give the president EXPLICIT authority over election laws”… it doesn’t give him ANY authority you spineless quislings!
You fucking shitbags at nyt are covering for a pathetic wannabe dicktater. Where's your non-stop, 24/7 coverage of his mental illness, decline, and 4-day disappearance? Fuck you. Glad I cancelled my subscription. Hope you go bankrupt.
I think the NYT is leaving something out. Coincidentally, it's the same thing they left out the last 100 times Trump did something illegal.
How about providing a little context with this, such as highlighting the fact that he doesn't have the power to make such an edict. Come on NYT, you are failing to do your job. What happened to you?
He's doing this knowing he has no authority to do this, but also knowing there's a more than even chance the Supreme Court will do nothing to stop him.
President Trump said late Saturday that he would issue an executive order to require that from now on, Americans be left-handed. Equal legal authority.
Bunch of gawd damn misfits.
Hey this is unenforceable and illegal and it’s SUPER FUCKING WEIRD that you’re not putting that up top
Unconstitutional and if the Supreme Court lets him, strike!
Performative nonsense. The states will immediately file lawsuits and win. It’s pablum for the base element.
Illegal and unconstitutional, as is everything he's doing
And? Why did you also add that he has no authority to do that?
I'm sure there was room in the headline to write, "tr*mp once again making illegal and unconstitutional power grabs..."
Only red states will bend over for Trump, #BlueStateResistance.
“Overhaul”? Fuck you you assholes.
He has no authority for this, of course, BUT the lying, bootlicking, GOP governors will go along with this, pretending it’s legitimate authority, in the hopes of gaining favor and advancing the fascist Project 2025 agenda.
And you SHOULD be reporting that he does not have that power. Dubious my ass
Not only does the constitution not give POTUS "explicit" power to manage elections, it doesn't give him implicit power either. The president has no role in elections BY DESIGN.
And yet you dangerously negligent fascist loving motherfucking assholes @nytimes.com fail to mention in the headline that Trump's attempts violate the Constitution. Fuck you and have a nice day.
Oh he said that, huh. I issued an executive order demanding you make me dinner. Let's see if that happens too.
I just issued an executive order demanding that my cat scoop his own litter box. I vow to respond to any Republican "orders" the same way my cat is responding to mine.
Funny!
Imagine believing that you had the power to issue decrease to do anything… And these are the things that you waste your power is on.
I get the notion of mocking this, because it is ludicrous and would be deemed so in any other point in US History But this is serious and he seems to own the SCOTUS They spent 10 years de-sensitizing Americans to the idea that elections were “rigged” - all so they could do it when needed
You ok with cereal?
😂
Constitution doesn’t give the President ANY authority over elections. Let alone ‘explicit’ as this trash states.
Remember, the SM team isn't even the NYT headline they present to the world, which is far worse . Here is what the editor wanted the world to see, painting his authority as murky.
You skipped over the “of which he has no constitutional authority to do” part.
Why would you ever write that headline without mentioning that he can't per the constitution & the oath he took to it? Why do you carry water for him & want him to rule us like a king?
No LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DO SO Your headlines downplays the depth of his lawlessness
I think Trump runs a real risk of someone assassinating him. There have been two tries already and he is acting ti be the first American Dictator. Dangerous move, Don the Con Man.
If he issued an executive order canceling elections completely should we obey that one too?
🏆
Ex orders are more of wish list than law.
Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein
Once again, you have to click through to learn he doesn't have the authority to do this. Most people will only read what's in their feed, and are left with the impression that this is going to happen. This happens too often for it to be a coincidence. Have to conclude that NYT wants to help him.
But doesn’t everyone have voter identification?Why is this a story a thing?In Alabama we have always required a picture ID when voting&as a liberal I absolutely don’t have a problem with this.You MUST have a photo ID to go to the doctor,open a bank account&many other things.Why do Dems fight this?
"Overhaul." You've become a stain on history that will remind people of what might have been, and how it was lost to US. Your time is coming, too, one way or another.

Meanwhile, I signed an executive order that says cookies are okay for breakfast on Sundays and you’ve been SILENT. It’s almost like executive orders are bullshit!
But the pedo-dictator wipes his ass with the constitution...🐷
Another meaningless order.
…and he has zero authority to do this but you’re just not gonna mention that? Delete your account.
The paper of record for the United States is complicit with fascism. Oh how far we have fallen.
When will Trump sign executive order to suspend US Constitution?
It is important context that he has no power to do any of this. You are failing your readers with this framing. What has happened to you, New York Times?
We already do dumbass.
This is not accurate. Some states mandate ID. Some do not. In some of them it also may vary by city and/or county. The Constitution specifies that the states each determine how to hold elections for themselves. No President has any authority to tell them how to do it.
"President Trump said" and I stopped reading. This doesn't mean anything. You know that, NYT.
You need to start putting into the headlines that these things are illegal, you guys are supposed to be truth tellers.
Supposed by whom?
They're nazis. They have no integrity.
They stopped being truthtellers a while back. They are Trump toadies, putting a benign or positive spin in headlines and articles. Shameful.
Good. Go ahead and overhaul the elections. That way, when you lose, you have no one to blame but yourself!
"Donald Trump said late Saturday that he would break the law by issuing an EO violating state's rights by requiring voter identification" This is not hard to write, you hacks.
Donald Trump is, in legal terms, overstepping his constitutional authority—and is thus facing challenges that characterize the order as unlawful and a violation of states’ rights.
The Constitution vests authority to set the “times, places, and manner” of federal elections with the states and Congress—not the president.
Well, luckily for us he has no say in the matter. It's a shame that a once-great newspaper doesn't understand this. What he says is not the story. His making absurdist claims to powers he doesn't have is the story. Wake TF up, @nytimes.com
This is how the story should be reported. Another @nytimes.com failure.
If DJT mandates voter IDs then the federal govt must issue them to every citizen. Not everyone has drivers license,passport, mortgage or mailbox.The burden must be on govt to provide what it requires for fair access & the right to vote.
