Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger. We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities. We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.

The courts continue to be the guardrail that is holding. 👏 A federal judge voided Trump's IRS settlement. Trump paid E. Jean Carroll what he owed. And Democratic Senate candidates are massively outraising their Republican opponents. This is what momentum looks like!

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

While some enslaved people did not know about Lincoln's order, many learned of it while the fighting was still ongoing through informal networks, rumors and sometimes from slaveholders themselves.

I fear we have a cruel month ahead of us: the future of campaign finance law, the definition of Election Day, the fate of birthright citizenship. While I remain hopeful, I am prepared for democracy to leave this month weaker than it entered. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/for-...

For democracy, June is the cruelest month
In recent years, June has been the time when the high court delivers its most devastating blows against individual rights and the rule of law.

The White House is doing this a) so it can intimidate voters physically at the polls, and b) because more Dems vote by mail.
