Yesterday, the House passed the GOP’s new voter suppression legislation modeled on the SAVE Act.
Let’s be clear: This series of bills (which would end registration by mail and add new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering) is unlikely to pass the Senate.

How Republicans expect Democrats to support funding DHS when they’re sending a rogue force of masked agents into our communities, maiming people, jailing little kids, and disappearing immigrants is beyond me. That’s why I’m a HELL NO.
