Obviously the GOP has run the numbers on how many people will be disenfranchised from voting in the midterms if they pass the Save America Act. Enough to prevent the democratic rescue of our democracy.

And that currently is the LEAST safe country for Jewish people to live in btw.
Say, do you receive any money from AIPAC at all? Just out of interest.
