Trump said Nevada has 250,000 noncitizens voting. So DHS went through the list of voters. Guess how many they found. 250,000? No. 2000? Nope. 200? Wrong. They found ZERO noncitizens. Illegals voting is a big fat orange hoax. www.huffpost.com/entry/nevada...

I had to look it up to refresh my memory. Only 45% to 52% of eligible voters typically turn out in mid term elections. This one is too important to sit on the sidelines. VOTE! And vote early. Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a disaster and we need to show them that We the People hold the power!

The Kennedy Center has been an institution for decades in Washington DC. I have gone there many times to enjoy music, plays, the NSO—it’s truly an iconic, beautiful building. It’s no wonder people are here protesting to save the building from destruction by a toddler who can’t put his name on it.

Dems need to coopt and run ads on the Republicans' new favorite slogan: "It's about common sense vs crazy." There's a gazillion examples of GOP craziness, and Dems get called communists for wanting people to have healthcare. The right always steals good slogans, Dems should take over this one.

MAKE YOUR PLAN TO VOTE NOW. SCOTUS just allowed the Trump admin to move forward, for now, w/major new restrictions on mail voting ahead of midterms. The order requires states to provide voter lists to the feds & could restrict USPS from delivering mail ballots to voters who aren’t on those lists.
