I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

If you stand against hate, stand against all hate.
If you reject violence, reject all violence.
Open your heart and fill it with kindness and empathy for other people's suffering year-round.

Rob Reiner was an American Icon who, through his art and activism, held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. Our heart breaks at the senseless loss of our friend.

The Roberts Court will go down in history as having upheld the desires of Donald Trump and the GOP, rather than its commitment to justice, precedent or the rule of law.
Today’s ruling — which substitutes its own fact finding for that of the lower court — is yet another example.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov!
Americans gave you a clear assignment last Tuesday, and you didn’t understand it.
Now, we are giving you another one: Step down and allow a Democrat with a spine to unite your caucus for the good of all Americans.
Remember what you told Biden? Now, tell it to yourself.

I also voted for that bill in 2021 because gerrymandering is bad and leads to extreme candidates. But we unilaterally disarmed playing against an opponent who cheats as a strategy. So I just mailed my ballot to vote yes on 50, and I hope everyone else will too.
"I supported the For the People Act when the the Dems put it forward in 2021. Do you remember how many Republicans voted for that bill?"
"No on Prop 50" Chair: [silence]
"It was zero. Not a single Republican voted for independent redistricting commissions nationwide."
