Tonight's #NCSBE statement is very disappointing.Our duty is to remain factual, nonpartisan and composed-no matter what any party says. This is a moment for calm leadership & focus on what truly matters: safe, fair elections in #NorthCarolina #ncpol #elections

North Carolina Republicans want to make it illegal for election officials to encourage people to vote.
The move is “basically always unconstitutional under the First Amendment,” says Andrew Garber of @brennancenter.org.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Slotkin is good here. And Hegseth feels he doesn't have to answer a Democratic woman senator's questions.
SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way?
HEGSETH: What is that based on?
SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.
🚨🚨🚨 Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the U.S. from El Salvador to face criminal charges.
