In any other administration, just one of Trump’s egregious displays of authoritarianism would merit the removal of a president. It is beyond unacceptable that Congress has ceded their constitutional role to allow this fascist attack on our democracy to continue. #NoKings

Do you all know about this? Rumor has it that, in the last few days, right-wing election groups have submitted over 200,000 new comments to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) urging it to require Americans to show a passport or other citizenship documents when registering to vote.

Efforts continue to limit voting accessibility. Now the America First Legal Foundation (AFLF), co-founded by none other than white supremacist Stephen Miller, has a petition before the Election Assistance Commission (EAC)to change the rules to require Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC).
