Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

The Trump administration’s sweeping campaign to force states to hand over sensitive voter registration data is colliding with a new revelation that could undermine its cases — and raise serious questions about whether DOJ was fully candid in federal court. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
DOJ said it had no plans to share voter data with DHS. Guess what it's now planning to do
If DOJ is seeking voter data under the banner of election oversight but planning to use it for immigration enforcement, that could undermine the legal basis for compelling states to turn it over.
