While a small percentage of disgruntled Trump supporters may switch sides, we really need a big turnout from those who chose not to vote in the last election. We need all votes. Ignore the polls. Show up.

Jack Smith walked into the Senate, defended his prosecutions, rejected claims that his work was politically motivated, and refused to retreat under threats of prosecution. The hearing became a battle over evidence, power, accountability, and who gets to investigate whom. Smith for the WIN! #Pinks

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

It’s worse, really. After Paxton’s office offered the defendant a sweetheart plea deal on a misdemeanor and 30 days of jail, the judge asked the victim’s mother if it was enough. She stated emphatically that it wasn’t. So the judge added time but he was still released after just 29 days.
At the sentencing hearing, Sparkman asked the boy’s mother if she agreed to the deal.

She answered “no.” “It’s just not enough,” she said. “He’s dangerous. This isn’t justice, and I can’t do it.” 

Sparkman increased the sentence to 60 days and required Hoffman to surrender his law license for five years. He served 29 days.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

Collins can't explain his own chief of staff cozying up to Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer to spring a holocaust denier, so he ducks the question and hopes Georgia forgets. Ossoff wants the transcripts. So do I. Release them or admit why you won't.
