BREAKING: With #2030Census prep already underway, President Trump says he's instructed Commerce Dept to "immediately begin work" on a "new" census that excludes people living in the states without legal status from a count the 14th Amendment says must include “whole number of persons in each state”

The decision to pause federal grants + loans is intentionally chaotic + designed for maximum harm, like so many of Donald Trump + GOP’s recent actions. From hurting food banks to closing daycares, Republicans are targeting everyday people and putting them at risk. Let’s break down what’s at stake. 🧵

Your regular reminder that Section 2 of the 14th Amendment requires the census numbers for reapportioning congressional seats and Electoral College votes among the states to include "the whole number of persons in each state"

Voting laws in Georgia and Texas are restrictive and complex, disenfranchising tens of thousands of voters. Recent surveys reveal that citizens of voting age in both states don’t understand the ID requirements to vote in their states.

GA has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the nation. Women are dying from preventable deaths. But GA just fired every member of the maternal mortality board because the public learned how the GA abortion ban has led to women’s deaths. Shameful. Inexcusable. Infuriating.
