Dolores Huerta has had nothing but praise for Cesar Chavez her entire life, then yesterday, she suddenly comes out with rape accusations from 60 years ago, saying she had kept it quiet to protect “the movement” and her “life’s work.”
Today, several celebrations to honor Chavez are being renamed to honor her instead.
This has been an incredibly quick cancelation of a public figure, happening the same day the allegations were made public. One of the lessons should have been that public figures should be more thoroughly vetted before being bestowed with honors. Instead, they are just jumping headfirst into venerating another problematic person.

@SenThomTillis Admitting democrats will nuke it but you’re too coward to is entirely why politics is not your game.

I am one of the few members of Congress who has actually passed a voter ID law (on a bipartisan basis), which I did as Speaker of the House in North Carolina, and that’s why I proudly co-sponsored the SAVE Act. While I support strengthening mail-in ballot integrity, many states like Utah, Florida, Alaska, and Montana rely on the use of mail-in ballots to conduct their elections, and we should not be completely upending how states already securely conduct their elections. Even if this issue is fixed, the SAVE America Act still will not have the 60 votes required to pass it.
While the so-called ‘talking filibuster’ has been floated as an option, there is a reason why previous attempts to utilize it in recent history have failed. A ‘talking filibuster’ would effectively make Chuck Schumer the new Senate Majority Leader, allowing Democrats to block every single Trump judge and executive branch nominee, and allow them to force endless votes on anything they want. Democrats would control the floor of the U.S. Senate until the end of the year.
There are only two ways out of a ‘talking filibuster.’ The first is for Democrats to miraculously give up and allow Republicans to pass the bill with a simple majority. That is never going to happen, and anyone who claims it’s even a remote possibility is either completely misinformed or intentionally misleading the American people.
The second way is for Republicans to substantially weaken or eliminate the filibuster altogether. I have made it crystal clear that I will never vote to do this. Eliminating the filibuster is a foolish and lazy idea pushed by politicians seeking short-term gain at the expense of causing irreparable long-term harm to our nation. Succeeding in eliminating the filibuster would significantly weaken the minority party, end the need for bipartisan compromise, and allow erratic swings in policy that would transform America for the worse. Those are just the consequences of a best-case outcome.
During the last Congress, all of my Democratic colleagues currently serving supported nuking the filibuster to try to pass their own partisan election reform bill. Democrats were dead wrong to try to change the filibuster when they controlled the Senate, and Republicans would be dead wrong to try to change the filibuster now that we control the Senate. The only real path to address the American people’s declining confidence in our elections is for both parties to find common ground on legislation that supports universal adoption of voter ID, proof of citizenship, and other vital election integrity measures.

@tommysantos14 Democrats are like let’s just give them all licenses no way they will use these to commit fraudulent votes.

OK, let's read page 12, line 22 and go through it together, piece by piece:
“(A) PROCESS FOR THOSE WITHOUT DOCUMENTARY PROOF.
(i) IN GENERAL.—Subject to any relevant guidance adopted by the Election Assistance Commission, each State shall establish a process under which an applicant who cannot provide documentary proof of United States citizenship under paragraph"
Each state. First red flag. This is the old Republican "let the states decide" con job.
How do you think corrupt MAGA leaders are going to handle requirements for proving citizenship in key states with Democrat counties?
There is zero guidance in the bill about what's acceptable if a voter does not have the required documentation. It leaves it to the discretion of corrupt state politicians.
"(1) may, if the applicant signs an attestation under penalty of perjury that the applicant is a citizen of the United States and eligible to vote in elections for Federal office, submit such other evidence to the appropriate State or local official demonstrating that the applicant is a citizen of the United States and such official shall make a determination as to whether the applicant has sufficiently established United States citizenship for purposes of registering to vote in elections for Federal office in the State."
All this says is "if you don't have the documents we require, just give the teller whatever you got, and they'll make a call."
In other words, this bill doesn't protect your right to vote if you don't have the required documentation to prove your citizenship.
“(ii) AFFIDAVIT REQUIREMENT.—If a State or local official makes a determination under clause (i) that an applicant has sufficiently established United States citizenship for purposes of registering to vote in elections for Federal office in the State, such determination shall be accompanied by an affidavit developed under clause (iii) signed by the official swearing or affirming the applicant sufficiently established United States citizenship for purposes of registering to vote.
This is doublespeak, and It's bullshit.
It gives voters hope, then gives state officials the right to deny applicants for whatever reason they choose.
This section quite literally gives corrupt state officials LEGAL COVER to CHOOSE which voters they allow to vote!
Nice try, Mike.

Jessica, read the bill It shows that you’re wrong It’s right there in the House-passed version of the SAVE America Act (now being debated in the Senate), in the text starting on page 12 at line 22

🚨 BREAKING: House Democrats just STORMED OUT of the room despite AG Pam Bondi and DAG Todd Blanche showing up to a closed-door briefing to answer "any and all questions" about the Epstein Files IMAGINE THAT. Democrats don't actually care! REP. LAUREN BOEBERT: "Democrats all just stormed out after refusing to ask questions because the cameras are off. Nothing is ever good enough for these theatrical fools." @laurenboebert So she is cooperating with them...and they want nothing to do with it, because it's not convenient for them anymore. Imagine that.

If noncitizens' voting was actually a problem instead of a lie to suppress votes, then GOP would be presenting examples of fraudulent voting on a daily basis.
Period.

Senate Republicans rejected a Democrat proposal to fund the TSA, and Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House.

@WalshFreedom @RichardGrenell Hillary still says Trump cheated.
English
Actually @RichardGrenell, no. When you lose an election and refuse to accept the results, refuse to concede, and then commit crimes trying to overthrow the election, that’s when democracy begins to die. Hillary conceded in 2016. Kamala conceded in 2024. Your dear leader is the only one who didn’t love his country enough to just simply accept the will of the people.
Richard Grenell@RichardGrenell
Every time you lose an election you say democracy is dying.

Only 10 undocumented immigrants have successfully cast ballots over the last 25 years.
There are more Trump allies in the Epstein files than there are undocumented immigrants voting.
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression bill that protects Trump and his Epstein allies.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz
Democrats are trying to stop the SAVE America Act because they want illegal aliens to vote for them. That’s bad for America. We need to pass the SAVE America Act.

Here's what happened with Rep. Summer Lee and Chairman James Comer behind closed doors during the briefing with Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, I'm told: Lee: "Mr. Chairman, there are no cameras here. You don't have to perform. We were told this was a briefing." Comer: "It's a briefing!" Lee: "But she hasn't offered any information...This is a hearing. This is a hearing without the cameras. This is a hearing without C-SPAN. And it's a hearing without the public. So, what I'm asking is...." Comer: "You want me to scoot some chairs around and make a circle. Would that make it feel more like a briefing?" Lee: "I would like C-SPAN. I would like you to bring the transcribers. I would like you to go through with the decorum and with the rules...." Comer: "Are you trying to find information, or trying to embarrass the attorney general?" Lee: "Absolutely not. I think the attorney general is a woman who is completely able to defend herself, and I'm not attacking her. I'm questioning you. You run this place. What I'm asking you is....Will you commit to going as far as..." Comer: "I've already issued the subpoena..." Lee: "And this is not the deposition..." Comer: "You've wasted three minutes of everyone's time just kind of, bitching..." Lee: "Really? Wow! Bitching?"

Allow me to break down what Jerome Powell said in simple terms so even the MAGA morons understand.
Trump has created zero jobs and started his term with 0% inflation and now it’s at 2%.
And that’s without factoring what’s happened with his unnecessary war.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is the very very low level of job creation. If you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Donald Trump is corrupt — always has been, always will be.
Republicans are in here claiming the attack on Venezuela was lawful… but if another country decided to come after Trump over the Epstein files, they’d be outraged.
Don’t let them play in your face — this is selective outrage.
