Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

New in PN: Dems are winning the shutdown

"If Republicans are on board with Trump’s effort to become a dictator, there’s not much point in negotiating. You might as well force them to own their priorities, including hugely increasing healthcare costs, then use it against them on the campaign trail."
Democrats are winning the shutdown
Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Gretchen Whitmer and Michigan Democrats just passed a state budget that, despite Republicans controlling the House, means more:

• Free meals for every student
• Road funding
• Record investment in schools
• Tax breaks for seniors
• And much more!

Leadership!

It really is always amazing to me that Trump and Republicans have it down to a science dangling a steady diet of culture war nonsense like Cracker Barrel, Bud Light & jeans ads to keep their supporters from noticing that everything they do is to enrich themselves & billionaires.

Since there have been too many documented instances of ICE murdering people in the street or illegally grabbing or beating US citizens the Trump regime has an innovative solution; you can no longer film ICE and fuck your first amendment, buddy.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.
