@BasedMikeLee @AAGDhillon Mike, this is fascinating! I can't wait for you to tell us exactly how Harmeet "reviewed" all those files (What does a voter registration file actually look like? How about a sample?) and ferreted out the non-citizens. How many files did she read to find "tens of thousands?"

“Noncitizens don’t vote,” they told us And then @AAGDhillon started reviewing voter rolls After examining only about a third of all voter-registration files, she’s found tens of thousands of noncitizens registered to vote There are many more We need the SAVE America Act
AAGHarmeetDhillon@AAGDhillon

Here @theJusticeDept, ensuring election integrity is a paramount duty. Many states fail to clean noncitizen & deceased people from their voter rolls, and under my leadership, @CivilRights will continue working to ensure that ONLY eligible American citizens vote in our elections! 🇺🇸

@FederalDiamonds @BernieSanders Points taken. If you believed in medicare for all funded by increasing taxes on the rich and Bernie hired you as his PR guy, how would you make his case?

$0 in taxes. 20% premium hike. 1,800 jobs cut. $21M CEO pay. $6.57B profit. Five facts, listed in sequence, presented as a single indictment. The list does the arguing the logic doesn’t. A company can pay $0 in federal income taxes through legal deductions in a loss year, raise premiums for actuarial reasons, cut jobs for operational ones, and still post profits. None of that requires the others. Listing them together implies a single extractive mechanism without demonstrating the connection. That’s evidence laundering through list formatting: verified facts sharing visual weight with unverified causal claims. “Yes. We must tax the rich and enact Medicare for All” completes it. One company’s financial profile becomes proof that the entire system requires a complete overhaul. The policy conclusion was already written. The CVS data just got recruited to support it.

This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like: Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit. Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.

I worked for years as a victims rights advocate and Officer of the Court. Butler was staged. How do I know? Never once in all my time in that role did a victim of a violent crime come forth and request the investigation be closed.

@BuzzPatterson The top 2 candidates for California governor are Republicans? By what criteria? I'm going to vomit. I think most of the California electorate will join me.

This is absolutely hysterical! Democrats have used the jungle primary in California for 14 years requiring the top 2 candidates, regardless of party, to move forward to the general election. It has served them well. So well, in fact, that if a Republican even wins a primary, it’s been considered a “win.” Now, Republicans have gained the upper hand and have THE top 2 candidates for governor. As it stands, 2 Republicans will advance to the general and shut out the Dems. How do Democrats react? They demand an end to the jungle primary. 🤣🤣🤣 So predictable.
Robert Garcia@RobertGarcia

In 2028, Californians should get rid of the jungle primary. It has not worked out as intended, and it’s time to get back to real primaries.

It may seem absurd that Rhodes, who tried for years with Obama to force Catholic nuns to fund abortions, believes Trump faces a greater conflict with the Catholic Church over immigration and foreign policy. But maybe he’s right: perhaps the Catholic establishment never really cared about the Little Sisters of the Poor, and will fight far harder against Republicans than they ever would against Dems.
Ben Rhodes@brhodes

Trump fighting the Church is starting to feel like what happened when McCarthy went after the Army.

🚨 BREAKING: Iran has agreed to NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and they will HAND OVER the nuclear dust, per President Trump This is a monumental win! "Very important is that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon and they've agreed to that! Iran's agreed to that and they've agreed to it very powerfully." "They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that's way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers." "So we have a lot of agreement with Iran and I think something's going to happen very positively."

1. The new MAGA line on Orban—“if your entrenched ruling party can lose everything in a wave election, you are not living in an authoritarian state”—is fallacious, and something they plainly don’t believe. Unless maybe they’re prepared to abide Trump-style abuses turned on them.

@YouWishUwere4US @AzRepGillette Having "broken in," did you: 1. cast a fraudulent vote 2. Change the votes of others 3. Delete votes before they were counted ? If you didn't do any of these things, why should I credit your implied contention that you could have?

Hope it is true, but China made the same promise about Russia, denied arming them at every turn, and 80% of the critical components found in Russian drones ended up being Chinese. A verbal commitment from Beijing is a starting point, not a guarantee, and we better be watching closely. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

You are speaking out of ignorance. I got into our election system with my iPhone and so did hundreds of other people in the same room with me hundreds of miles away from the machines. If you actually really CARE about your vote, you would check it out and try to secure it. If you WANT to see how, let me know and I’ll share.

Representative John Gillette, would you please keep in mind that even if the save act passes those electronic voting machines are arrogant there is an open door back door. There is a way to flip the votes and they have and we have shown patterns and we’ve shown interruptions we’ve shown where they have gotten into our elections and yes where they’ve literally flipped the votes live on television. You’re gonna have to get around that even if they say act passes, be prepared cause we’ve got a fight coming onto you.

@z_e_silver They have no weapons. Everything they have is provided to them free of charge by western tax payers. The only people that should be idolized are Western tax payers. Every Ukrainian every second should be praising the West. We don’t need Ukraine but they need us.

If the United States wasn’t so polarized, this man would be (rightfully) lionized and idolized as a one of the greatest world leaders of the 21st Century. I pray one day he will get his due.

‼️ZELENSKYY: We will not sell our weapons like we did in the 1990s. Instead, we will share our knowledge and expertise in exchange for long-term, mutually beneficial security partnerships with Ukraine. “We're building new partnerships on weapons differently than in the nineties or two thousands, when Ukrainian weapons and forces were sold off like it's Black Friday. We're not holding a fire sale of our weapons or emptying our warehouses. We're offering a security partnership that's long-term and profitable for Ukraine” - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.

@midlifeguy548 @BradDuplessis You ignored the "how does this make them do it?" part. If your choice to start a war is predicated on the assumption of your adversary's rational behavior, you have a serious problem.

@BradDuplessis The war hasn’t failed.. Clausewitz would know this. Trump said exactly what he wanted the enemy to do. The problem here is that the enemy is an ideologue and is acting irrationally. Anyone rational would have agreed and the rebuilt their country to benefit their people.

“Clausewitz would have recognized all of this immediately. The war has not failed because the bombs and missiles missed. The war failed because the men who ordered the bombing could not answer, before they ordered it or at any point thereafter, the one question that makes war something other than organized violence: What are we trying to get the enemy to do and how does this make them do it?”
Ryan Evans@EvansRyan202

War will forgive many sins, but not the confusion of aims and desired outcomes. As I write in @WarOnTheRocks, the war on Iran follows a long American tradition of striking with precision in the absence of strategy. warontherocks.com/tactical-succe…
