This is how the Attorney General "prepared" to testify before a congressional committee. With a "burn book" filled with criticisms and insults for each of the Democratic members who would question her. Too bad she didn't give as much attention to the redacted perpetrators in the Epstein files.

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:
"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.

There's a link between the AI disruption and the authoritarian political attacks on expertise. Highly educated white collar folks considered ourselves to be a powerful culture, on the basis of our expertise & credentials. But that's not where power comes from, and we're learning that the hard way.
All I'm saying here is that there's a strong air from white collar people like we're not supposed to be disrupted. That's for blue collar folks. But we're not special. We never have been. Just lucky. And eventually your luck runs out. Capitalism comes for everybody eventually.

There is no imaginable scenario where a genuine, professional, Constitutional law enforcement operation would recklessly attack hundreds of innocent people in hopes of apprehending a handful of people
they hoped might be among those targeted. This is flagrantly unlawful, intentionally menacing abuse

Don't forget: this Act would also force the trans community to choose between voting or changing their names back to their dead names.
It's cruel and designed to disenfranchise as many voters as possible. Those not impacted are: cis-het men (who can afford a passport).

Rep. Torres on the SAVE Act: 69 million women who follow the traditional practice of changing their name after marriage do not have a birth certificate that matches their legal name. Republicans know this and want to use that to block them from voting. This is voter suppression
