Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."

The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

More on this tomorrow.

First, read this and learn about the SAVE Act. Then call your senators. We can’t afford to let them impose a poll tax on our right to vote. joycevance.substack.com/p/voting-a-r...

Minnesota’s economy runs on the strength of our small businesses.

I’m proposing $10 million in direct relief to help businesses impacted by Operation Metro Surge stabilize, protect jobs, and get back on solid footing.

Keep up the pressure! Call your Senators and tell them to oppose the SAVE Act! 202-224-3121

They don't have the votes to kill the filibuster, and Democrats have enough votes to filibuster the SAVE Act!

BREAKING: 47 Senators just blocked a measure that would have provided billions more dollars of no-strings-attached funding for ICE and Border Patrol to continue their violence and abuse.

While we applaud these Senators for taking action, the fight continues.

The FBI seizure of 2020 election records last month was “a serious attempt to overturn and to take control of elections in Fulton County, Georgia,” Robb Pitts, the chair of the county board, said Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“If they're successful here in Fulton County, in taking over our election, it's going to spread,” Pitts said.

The SAVE Act is meant to make voting harder and more intimidating so people don't do it. When you combine it with ICE agents potentially being deployed at the polls, it's clear what Trump is trying to do before the midterms - make it harder to vote.

Any ideas how to be proactive against the WH/Republicans on this?
What can we do to get the Republican senators to say no to the SAVE act.
History says we can’t count on GOP…
It feels like our best shot is November elections…
Do we start going door to help people get their paper work?
Thoughts?

The Save Act…Midterm Meddling and or Cheating. If the Save Act passes and Trump is allowed to place his own cronies in charge of elections…how do you think that will play out? Rhetorical. The real question is…where do we go from there? Protests? Where have they gotten us to this point?

Republicans are terrified of the midterms and are desperate to block as many people from voting as they can. The SAVE Act pass the House yes. Now it goes to the Senate.
Call your Senators 202-224-3121. & say HELL NO TO THE SAVE ACT!

The DHS funding deadline is tomorrow — and a bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. We need Democrats to keep holding the line by refusing to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Let’s get to work.

These dudes think this is so clever.

Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. It’s a relatively common crime.

There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.
