Fact is every Democrat did in fact vote to ban gerrymandering and every Republican voted no.
When the 24 hour news channel runs out of time, you know you've won.

Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

This speech should not have had to come from the Supreme Court’s most junior member.
It should have come from the full Court. It should have come from the whole federal judiciary. And it should have been amplified by the nation’s legal community.

The SAVE ACT will let states purge you from the voting rolls so you can't vote. It'll require everyone to go in person to show your birth certificate or passport.
Women who changed their surname to their husband's will need to bring a passport. Driver's licenses won't do.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.
