"There has been six-plus years of consistent findings from the intelligence community and from everyone who’s looked at it that there was no foreign interference in 2020, and our voting systems were secure and accurate"— Victoria Bassetti of @StatesUnited.

It was close, but we are happy to report our parade unit of Democratic candidates in Richfield, MN has surpassed attendance at Trump’s national state fair! Happy 4th!
250 years of a country built on the principle that power rests with the people, not kings and oligarchs. We the People will determine our future and I believe in the power of us to continue the work of building a more perfect union. Happy #july4th

Liz Oyer, former Pardon Attorney, describes how Todd Blanche fired her when she refused to do a dangerous official favor for Trump friend Mel Gibson. The actor lost his federal firearm rights after committing domestic violence. Gibson assaulted his girlfriend while she was holding their baby daughter, smashing her in the mouth, breaking her teeth, threatening her with his gun. Gibson asked Trump’s DOJ to reinstate his federal firearm rights despite his criminal conviction. Although Blanche had the power to do it on his own, he tried to force Oyer to give her stamp of approval. Not convinced of Gibson’s rehabilitation or his lack of dangerousness, and knowing that over half of women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or past intimate partner, and the presence of firearms in an abusive household increases the risk of murder by 500%, Oyer refused to have anything to do with Blanche’s dangerous and unethical suggestion. Blanche sacked her.
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court struck another blow to our democracy allowing big donors to circumvent campaign finance laws by laundering their huge contributions to candidates through political parties. Our statement:
The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track.
According to @Reuters, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.
The Supreme Court reaffirmed state authority over elections administration, upholding grace periods for mail ballots. Ballots postmarked by Election Day can still be counted if they arrive later—a practice trusted for over 160 years.

In DC and stopped by the fenced off algae swamp that Trump created from the Reflecting Pool. Just like with America, Trump took over, brought in corruption & incompetence and is trying to hide it from the public as things get worse. But we aren’t fooled by Trump’s fences & lies.
Feels good to be back out there on the trail with fellow my @electmnhousedfl candidates talking to voters about electing a pro-democracy majority. From Shakopee to Afton - folks are fired up! @MinnesotaDFL#LFG#mnleg
To be crystal clear, last night SCOTUS in an unsigned opinion announced that Alabama can use a congressional map that lower court judges—all originally appointed to the bench by Republican presidents (Trump & Reagan)—found *intentionally discriminatory.* This is shameful.
Ben is a progressive, no-nonsense leader who has a track record of bringing people together to get things done. Great choice for LG, great governing partner for Amy.
This is outright theft.
Trump is stealing $1.7 BILLION of your money to set up a totally unprecedented, first-in-American-history political slush fund that he can use to dole out cash to win loyalty and favors for him and his family.
