A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s 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.

Just doing 3 things will wipe out most of deficit, causing interest rates to drop: - Switch to Medicare for All ($1T savings per Yale) - Encourage immigration ($400B boost per Cato) - Cut DoD budget to inflation adjusted FY2000 levels ($250B cut from $750B budget. Xtra spending has given us more war

By 2029, Dems must offer a New Reconstruction Deal. Or suffer a resurgent GOP in 2032. People want real, substantive positive change in their lives. They have been voting for it every election since 2006. Trump has given the wrong change; Dems have huge chance to give the right change.

It has been eight days since Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez was shot by ICE while making a DoorDash delivery in Austin, Texas. He is currently facing a severe medical emergency. The bullet remains lodged in his back, and he is being held at the South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall.
DOORDASH IS ABANDONING ITS DRIVERS
URGENT UPDATE:
8 days after ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back while he was making a DoorDash delivery, the bullet remains in his body. Wilber is in agonizing pain inside a TX concentration camp, and the silence from DoorDash is deafening. A photo of Wilber smiling, before ICE shot him, is shown.

We have got to stop electing people who cannot manage to treat every word out of a cop’s mouth as suspect at best, likely a lie, definitely self-serving. Bonus if we can also get them to treat every word from a salesman’s lips with the same innate skepticism. Both groups lie because it’s their job.
