What Does the Constitution Say About the Right to Vote? Read the latest by Democracy Docket.

Nowhere in the original text does it say that citizens have a right to vote. Instead, much of the government’s authority to protect voting rights stems from amendments adopted following the civil war and legislation passed during the civil rights movement. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

I dunno. "They have to be somewhere" in response to O'Donnell's question about the aircraft carrier in the Caribbean is hard to beat.

Pennsylvania is a state that has really diverse & high stakes, up and down the ballot tomorrow.

Out on patrol. ICE very active on the far North Side including Edgewater and Lincoln Square. Multiple abductions. Vulnerable folks should get off the street if they can. Street vendors should be bought out, landscapers warned. If you’re in Chicago and you’re not ICE watch trained, pls get trained.

This is fairly good advice for dealing with ANY lawless violent gang

The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.

It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.

If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Just a reminder: millions of people who live in “red” states didn’t vote for any of this shit.

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Yes. And please remember Covid is not over.

Thank you, @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @jonlovett.bsky.social & @crooked.com for speaking with me about the ridiculous and dystopian reality we’re all being forced to exist in.

Newsom Is Not Trolling Chump,
He's Stating Facts.......

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD.

Actually and literally.
