FBI seizing ballots and election records from a Georgia election office isn’t normal law enforcement. Nor is it normal for the Director of National Intelligence to be involved. If the DOJ can be used to relitigate a settled election, it can be weaponized in every future one. This is not democracy.

Today’s Senate vote is an important first step toward unifying Democrats against the escalating violence carried out by ICE and Border Patrol in our communities. Republicans don’t have the votes to jam through this toxic DHS bill.

The Trump regime plans to sign executive orders that will end cashless bail and “ask law enforcement officials to work to ensure that people arrested in [D.C.] are taken into federal custody.” In other words, the regime is threatening to put any dissenters arrested in D.C. into concentration camps.
