Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

A lot of these horses end up in places like The Netherlands to be made into sausage. But they're commonly slaughtered in Canada and Mexico before exported. We have just a little over 600 wilds on our ranch and we are at capacity. There needs to be more land for these wild amazing creatures.

Is your Driver's License ID? How about an Enhanced Driver's License? How about Student ID? Military ID? State ID? Yes, but guess what... NONE would suffice under Trump's Voter Suppression SAVE Act which requires PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP in the form of a passport or birth certificate.

Then its subsidiary, GEO Reentry Services, donated $1 m to MAGA Inc., Trump’s allied super PAC, followed by another $413,000 later that month. The timing is hard to ignore. One contract was announced, then came the $1 million donation. A second contract was announced, then came another $413,000.

Susan Collins pulls into town in a bus full of her supporters; then they all get off the bus; and then she addresses the folks who were on the bus with her as if they were regular Mainers; and legacy media covers this, pretending it isn't deeply bizarre. (Notice the guys with cameras.) #MEpolitics

The White House is actively beefing with military families and denouncing them as liars. And their supporters still let them get away with it. Imagine Obama calling Navy spouses lying communists or latte-sipping sissies for demanding better conditions during deployments, and Dems supporting it.

It’s bullshit for the Washington Post to call this looting of the Treasury a “deal“ and an “agreement.” The Trump regime is self-dealing to create an agreement between Trump and Trump, with no judge allowed to weigh in. It’s a dictator stealing from the people.

In unusual deal, a $1.8 billlion fund that could help Trump allies is created.
The agreement to end the Trump family’s lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority …
