For real Senator Cassidy? He knowingly posted racist trash. Racism is in his DNA. And you thank him?
You pathetic enablers are an embarrassment to America. Your tweet reinforces for me that the enablers are the problem. In 9 months, America will vote you back to the minority.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

💔Absolutely heartbreaking. Four women are dead after being deported under the Trump administration. Their deaths were preventable and this responsibility lies with this administration.

We need pathways to legal status, not deportations.

Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states.
People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.
Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.
