I don't think they're afraid of election integrity. I think they want to make sure there's no proof of election tampering.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

The joke is on Trump. The ethnic cleansing is simply being moved over to the West Bank.

Who in their right mind would believe the Israelis— under Benjamin Netanyahu—about *anything*?

Between 1929 and 1936, as many as 2 million people of Mexican descent were repatriated or deported to Mexico. The Mexican Repatriation program was presented as a means of opening up jobs for Americans but was actually driven by nativist sentiment. /1

Mexican Americans wait to be repatriated to Mexico in the 1930s.

OMG. Teach your kids: My oldest son is off work today and is making Banana bread. He "observed" me doing that since 20+ years ago and now I sit here with that glorious smell. And I'm so proud of him. (You would die to have his Key lime pie!)
I am having banana bread for dinner....

This is the thing. Republicans blocked a standalone Dem bill in the House to pay the troops because they thought it would weaken their ability to just get Dems to fold on the clean CR.

That sound you just heard is Johnson and Thune loudly shitting themselves. He just completely eliminated their leverage

Trump says he’s ordered Hegseth to pay the troops during the government shutdown.

“We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS.”

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

US tariffs are inflationary for the US and deflationary for China and everyone else. They cause China to divert all the goods it used to export to the US to the rest of the world, which is now getting a flood of deeply discounted stuff. China also imports less as it tries to sell stuff at home...
