WIN: The DOJ has no right to Georgia’s sensitive voting records —a judge ruled — delivering the department’s 26th consecutive loss in their nationwide hunt for voter data. The judge noted Georgia repeatedly offered its public voter roll, which is available to anyone: demdock.com/4yKtyWN

BREAKING: Fox News agrees to host a debate between me and Ken Paxton — because the people of Texas deserve it. They're just waiting on Paxton to agree. Ball's in your court, Ken.

Media companies who accept taxpayer money for Trump’s illegal campaign ads should be investigated and prosecuted if appropriate. Media executives accepting this money should be subpoenaed to appear before a Democratic Congress to explain why they are complicit in a crime.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Klobuchar eviscerates Schmitt: "For a U.S. Senator to have false information and imply based on a confusion … and imply you're in another city that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia and then call you a dirt bag is something that deserves an apology."
