@MattBruenig The op-ed cites SHED for the 6.7 million figure, but I'm not finding it - can you help me out?
@DrOzCMS @USAttyEssayli Wait until you learn about this:
By moving to rescind the Biden Admin’s #PublicCharge rule, which largely restored long-standing policy after courts blocked a harmful rule put forward in the first Trump rule, the Administration is reigniting fear & confusion among people who are immigrants and their families.
12 p.m. turnout report: 5.33 percent of registered voters have voted today ----------- Early in-person voting + absentee by mail turnout: 10.89 percent of registered voters ----------- 11th Congressional District polls open until 7 p.m.
There is confusion about whether the Parliamentarian has indicated that a slightly revised version of the #SNAP cost-shift to states in the Senate Republican bill complies with the Byrd rule. But what’s clear is: the provision’s harmful impact is unchanged.
Republicans claim to be pro-family, but they’re abandoning new moms when they need care most. My wife just gave birth. I can’t imagine her going without postpartum care. That’s why I introduced a bill to guarantee one year of postpartum care for moms on Medicaid.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Nikki Haley announced that she stands 100% behind her comments that Donald Trump is too old and mentally incompetent to be President. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.
BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, after distancing himself from Project 2025, Donald Trump announced he will appoint Tom Homan (Project 2025’s author) on day 1. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is Project 2025.
This isn’t an October surprise. It’s incredible journalism across multiple outlets, a confirmation from a respected witness and audio to back it up. It will break through as it should.
New ad from the Harris campaign on reproductive freedom, ahead of the VP's speech in Texas on Friday. This is a very tough one to watch, but it's incredibly important to. Thank you so much to Ondrea and Ceasar for trusting us to share their story.
Needs to be charged: PA Lancaster Chief Deputy Clerk Lisa Dart Dart has been denying students the right to register to vote. Up to 30% of 260 students had their registrations (often from September) not acted on. Furthermore, this clerk lied about the requirements. These registrations need to be remedied and she needs to be charged.
(CNN) — A federal judge has ordered Rudy Giuliani to turn over all his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the Georgia election workers he defamed and to whom he now owes $150 million.
BREAKING: In a stunning leak, JD Vance completely endorses Project 2025. If Trump’s running mate is admitting this, it makes it near impossible Donald Trump to run from this now. Retweet so all Americans see this.
This video about republican farmers that had voted for trump & are now voting for Harris is big news. Seems to be getting hidden on this “free speech” site. I tried searching for it & as of now is very hard to find They also went on fox news see other post
Just a reminder that while Republicans publicly distance themselves from abortion in these last critical weeks before the election, they're quietly filing lawsuits against mifepristone that would impact the whole country - not just anti-abortion states
An anonymous group has sent thousands of text messages to young voters in WI with misleading claims about college students' eligibility to vote. Let me be clear - college students CAN vote in Wisconsin so long as they do not also vote in another state. Pass it on!
