This is a big deal and it will affect eligible voters! The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to allow the Trump administration to resume using its expanded SAVE database to check voter rolls, reversing lower-court orders that had blocked it over privacy and accuracy concerns.

I’ll believe it when I see them wheel Mitch McConnell onto the Senate floor. Three months away, more than 60 Senate votes missed, and no public appearance since June. We deserve more than staff updates and carefully released photos.

If you were to list the top 1000 real problems in the United States, voter fraud wouldn't be one of them. It’s not even in the top 10,000. Donald Trump made this up in order to make it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.

ICE’s Camp East Montana is a hellhole. It’s been open less than a year and three people have died there, including the first-ever homicide in ICE detention (allegedly at the hands of guards). Both DHS and Congressional watchdogs have documented extensive problems. Shut it down!

The 84-page report issued jointly Wednesday by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union also says men and women held at Camp East Montana, located at the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss in El Paso, recounted being denied necessary medical care, forced to live in filthy conditions and fed inedible meals. Detainees also said they were prevented from contacting their lawyers or family members.
Of the 71 detainees contacted over a five month period, 64 - about 90% of those interviewed - said they had either personally been assaulted by the staff or had seen others physically abused, according to the report.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
