A few noncitizen votes are a scandal. But thousands of rejected ballots are business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

“CFPB would focus on deregulation, embrace “humility” and adopt a “collaborative approach” to its dealings with companies that harm consumers” The solution to this is to vote out EVERY GOP enabler who is working for donors not voters. They all work for you, including Vought. #Sheshed

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

🧵 ICE spokesperson messaged me in July about its new facility for migrant kids in Alexandria, Louisiana. ICE is sanitizing, calling it a 'staging facility.' The camp is inside an airport to speed deportations. Intention is to deport kids as quickly as possible, putting them at risk of trafficking. ICE: An ICE spokesperson emailed in response to an inquiry from Impactivize, but did not address questions about the nonprofit status of LaSalle Family Foundation. ICE spokesperson wrote: “Allegations ICE has plans to open a detention facility at England Airpark are false. England Airpark is a staging facility for deportations. A staging facility is where illegal aliens await their deportation flight to their destination country or transfer to a detention facility.”
