Folks should be very careful on Tuesday to not spread rumors or AI slop. No one should deter voters from showing up.
But if you *do* see something, document it. Take pictures and video. And then lawyers like me can take all necessary steps to protect voters from intimidation.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

What people have so easily forgotten is that the language banning the tush push was the best argument against banning it. If you think it is hard to enforce now, wait until you see the new rule.
The tush push was nearly banned last May.
And just two weeks into the 2025 season, the momentum against it is stronger than ever, sources say.

Red Sox players loved the intensity of the crowd in Philly and said it was like a playoff primer. Garrett Whitlock: "I love playing in Philly. The fans are really amazing. It's funny, the security guy threw a guy out because he was yelling at me. I almost turned around like, 'Hey, it's okay.'"

The #Eagles’ 2025 opponents voted 13-1 to ban the push. The other 17 teams voted 9-8.
Weird that the Eagles seem to only be playing the teams concerned with safety and pace of play this year.

I think the Eagles need to be petty and propose banning players from jumping into the stands. It's a safety hazard.

I know this will blow people's minds, but Derek Carr has a passing DVOA of at least 8.0% in five of the last six seasons. And it's not like the dude is playing for a team that's set up for him to succeed with scheme and teammates.
He's overpaid but he does not suck.
