If your legislation to stop "voter fraud" prevents 21 million legitimate voters from voting, your legislation itself is voter fraud.
The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R
New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting
The “show your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans.
No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families.
Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.

Take good care of your phones, people! If you understand economics, you know what happens when supply goes down but demand stays the same or goes up. And you know it's even worse factoring in American capitalism.
“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.”

Your name is shockingly absent from this letter denouncing the SAVE and MEGA Acts... Are you working on an even more direct letter against these Acts with another group of Secretaries of State instead?

The Chief Justice of the United States will literally change the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States instead of divesting in individual stocks.
NEW: The Supreme Court will begin requiring litigants in March to list the stock ticker for each party involved in a case to make it easier to check if a justice has a conflict of interest that might require recusal. #SCOTUS

It’s incredible how much Democrats could improve their standing with nearly everyone on all sides by firmly coming out against stock ownership by government officials, forced divestment, and drafting legislation to enact such policies.

Short of buying space on the Las Vegas Sphere and projecting this to Chuck Schumer tied down in front of it and forced to look at it I truly don't know what else Democratic voters can do to explain to Democratic leaders why they're perceived as failing their voters.
And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement.
He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service.
I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him.
May his memory be a blessing.
