It’s unclear to me how they could use it to screw with the midterms, but I do have serious misgivings about it regardless.
Voter information is supposed to be private. Seizing the actual ballots along with the tabulations could be used for a lot of nefarious shit. You see this in dictatorships.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this.
A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.
Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort underscore the gravity of this moment. This has never happened before in our history. We shouldn't pretend it's normal.
More reason for us to hold the line and demand a DHS budget that stops funding lawlessness.

Jack Smith has Jeffrey Clark/Scott Perry texts admitting there was NO foreign election interference in 2020 per a briefing from DNI Ratcliffe January 2nd, 2021 per Volume I of his final report. DNI Gabbard is going to try to create foreign interference where DNI Ratcliffe failed. @raskin.house.gov

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.
People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

Dave Columbo is amazing
I feel like Republican politicians should be forced to watch every one of Columbo's Trump-speech performances—Clockwork Orange-style—and then take a lie detector test about whether they think their party leader is mentally deranged and dangerous

Wow! I can’t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.
🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

DHS account (and the video we all fucking watched) makes it clear that he never even attempted to reach for his gun.
