Tillis is right. Miller's boss should be fired.

Right. Whoever chose Miller is a total lightweight dumbass.

Reminds me of the "doctors" in the 60s and 70s who were paid to go on TV and extol the virtues of cigarettes.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Imaginary problems - like voter fraud - are the only ones Rs can solve.

Real ones are just too darn hard.

First: stop using the dehumanizing term โ€œillegals.โ€

Second: ICE has a documented record of detaining U.S. citizens, especially people who are Hispanic.

Third, and most important, ICE has zero legal role at polling places.

Voter intimidation is not election security; itโ€™s suppression.๐Ÿ‘‡

"...the right people voting..." is a stunning admission, but its just vocalizing R efforts going back 50 years.

Its stunning because she said it out loud.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
