All of the legacy media outlets that told us last year that Trump and the GOP really loved voting by mail and criticized me for saying it wasn't true were wrong. Now Trump is trying to ban VBM and he also wants to take over vote counting and certification. I hope they listen to me this time.

OUTRAGE: TX Republicans have literally barricaded Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber. They demand Democrats sign police “permission slips” to exit.
This is not lawmaking—it’s hostage-taking. It’s fascism in plain sight.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
