The Trump administration quietly removed an option on a form overseas voters use to request mail ballots, making it harder for some to vote. In a new lawsuit, Democrats say the GOP's goal is to disenfranchise voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic: demdock.com/4djBJR1

Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process. It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.

Reminder that the Children's Hospital of Philly is also the one whose leadership sought to meet with their senator, John Fetterman, about "vaccines and Medicaid cuts" last September, and he was less than enthusiastic, per WSJ
WSJ:
Last September, when an aide told Fetterman that officials with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, known as CHOP, wanted to meet because they were worried about Medicaid cuts, he was dismissive.  
[followed by snippets of a text conversation between Fetterman and an aide]
FETTERMAN: Why do I have to keep meeting with chop
AIDE: Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.
FETTERMAN: Well I'm not... I'm convinced they just want free trips to DC
