NEW: Court filings reveal that states using the Trump administration’s untested citizenship verification system to purge voter rolls may be mistakenly flagging eligible voters at an alarming rate, risking the chance of voters being disenfranchised.

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy.

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Californians, this is it. In honor of the No Kings protests and to protect democracy, get that Prop 50 ballot in and vote YES.
