Dementia. We need to be saying this out loud. The military, Congress (such that it is) & the media MUST put this on the tracker now.

We have an incompetent person making life and death decisions & the reins need to be taken away from him. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Jon Meacham: 'The Constitution was written for moments like this' Pulitzer-prize winning historian Jon Meachamโ€™s new book reminds us that safeguarding American democracy has always been a constant struggle. โ€œThe Constitution was written for moments like this,โ€ says Meacham, moments he calls โ€œa moral crisis.โ€

Between a new war of choice, federal agents killing protesters, & an administration eviscerating institutions, American democracy is being tested. Historian Jon Meacham reminds us that "the republic has always been fragile.โ€ Americans have long known despair is not the answer, action is. #Velshi

โ€˜Mass disenfranchisementโ€™: The Slow, Methodical Attacks on Voting Ahead of Midterms In Dallas County on election night, mass confusion caused by a sudden rule change sent hundreds of voters to the wrong polling places. This is what modern voter suppression can look like: not always dramatic, but just confusing and discouraging enough to stop people from casting their ballot. Mother Jonesโ€™ Ari Berman weighs in โ€œwhen you change laws and when you make voting more difficult right before an election, without giving people time to prepare, it can lead to the kind of mass disenfranchisement we saw in Dallas on Tuesday.โ€

Mass confusion unfolded at polling centers in Dallas County on primary night. That confusion was manufactured. It renewed fears of voter suppression ahead of the midterms. ProPublica's @dougbockclark.bsky.social warns "last minute changes to election laws can disenfranchise a lot of people." #Velshi

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

How Corporate Democrats Are Supporting Trump and Israel's War

Four "centrist" Democrats just helped Donald Trump and Republicans continue an illegal war in Iran. When will the Democratic base stand up and reject corporate donors and their complicit Reeks?

The SSI system can end up trapping people in poverty.

We need the SSI Restoration Act to increase cash payments and fix rules that penalize Americans for getting married, for accepting help from a family member, or for saving more than just a few pennies. - @warren.senate.gov

Wow: It appears Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) will not run for reelection.

This comes just days after Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) also announced he will not seek reelection.
