Do it again just before the election. And call after you’ve voted to make sure it has not been thrown out. If they don’t like your signature they will toss it and you won’t be informed. I never worried in the past but now…

Happy Mexican Independence Day...
And
Happy National Voter Registration Day!

It's vital to check if you are still registered. Republicans are purging voters from the voting rolls so double check &check for friends & family!

In case you missed it….Senate Republicans voted down an amendment to make more of the Epstein files public – the next move in their coordinated attempt to cover this story up.

Thanks for sharing. Really great to hear, especially in light of all the reporting on Dem disaffection.

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:

know we're not supposed to share things like this on Linkedn, but I'm going to share it anyway because it was horrifying and it's happening everywhere and it needs to be shared.
This morning when I was driving home after dropping my son off at summer camp, I saw a swarm of ICE agents as I drove past our local Home Depot. It looked like they were tying up some workers, and my first reaction was to pull into the parking lot.
I couldn't think. I couldn't process. I couldn't reason. I just jumped out of my car and started filming.
I then watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn't looking.
Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man's family. They wouldn't let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice.
I'm currently lying awake in bed at 11pm thinking about how these men won't return home to their families tonight, and their families will probably never know what happened to them.
I've been through some traumatic events in my life, but I've never witnessed anything like this.
This was down the street from my son's elementary school in our little peaceful coastal town.
You may not see it on the news, but you'll hear it from me because it needs to be shared.

House Republicans snuck a massive policy change into their tax bill that could upend the civil service: It would make new federal employees "at will" unless they agree to an effective 5% pay cut.

One union official told me it amounts to "criminal extortion."

The Massive Change Tucked In The GOP Tax Bill That No One’s Talking About

Republicans want to force new federal workers to choose between losing job protections and paying for them. One union official calls it "criminal extortion."

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.
