Things that Senator Eric Schmitt always confuses: Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Atlanta Hawks. A John Deer Tractor vs. A Dear John Letter. Washington State vs. Washington DC. Gorrillas vs. Guerrillas. Duke University’s Blue Devils vs. Arizona State University’s Sun Devils.

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.

$1.1B for 34 miles of border wall, double the old cost per mile. Our reporter found it's being built with rusted, sanded-down 2020 bollards, using funds Congress set aside to protect the Santa Ana refuge. Rep. Cuellar says it could be illegal. Read full investigation 🔗🦂:

A newly constructed wall built with old, salvaged material in South Texas is probably illegal; it's also costing twice as much as previous walls. What are taxpayers paying for, exactly?
