Excited to announce that my 83-page ASSIMILATION Act has been introduced.
Months of labor were undertaken by my staff, @SenTuberville and myself in order to GUT the Hart-Celler Act of 1965, as well as scrap provisions of the Immigration Act of the 1990s.
The goal of this bill is simple: end replacement migration and ensure American cultural cohesion.
This bill will end the H-1B scam, ensure migrants NEVER become a public charge, and make America look like America again. FYI, net immigration immediately decreases by 85% under this bill.
Some other things it does:
• National Interest Standard
• Stringent Character Tests
• Mandatory E-Verify
• Ends Chain Migration
• Ends Diversity Lottery
• GUTS Birthright Citizenship
• WAY Tougher Asylum Standards
• Stronger Public Charge Rules
• 10 Year Citizenship Requirement
• English & American Civics PROFICIENCY
The VRA protects voters, not politicians. If the Black community of Memphis wants to elect a white dude, they have the right to do so, that's their choice. Making it so they never have the choice because they'll always be outvoted sure looks like intentional discrimination
Hmm. Let's see. Has the Court ever ordered elections to take place under unconstitutional maps saying it was too close to an election...2 months before a primary...ever? Perhaps in an Alito-signed opinion?
Oh right: https://t.co/UzCDlbgCNA
Fun fact: the rules are of the House are written with, roughly, this scenario in mind! Rule XXIII 10(a), Members convicted of a crime cannot vote on the Floor *until the Member is reelected after the conviction*. Members can be felons, voters just have to know that going in.
NEW: Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is still running for reelection, her campaign confirmed.
The embattled lawmaker filed for reelection four days before resigning.

@ChrisShenton1 Me, complaining about a brutally short memo page limit.
Supervisor: I liked short page limits in law school, it helped for practice where your replies have to be 5 pages
Me: oh crap am I learning? Is he teaching me useful skills? Crap I hate when that happens
Victor Wembanyama Rookie season:
Didn't have a PG. Spurs said bet and went and got: Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, De'Aaron Fox
Didn't have shooting. Spurs said Bet and surrounded: Julian Champagnie, Devin Vassell, Injected Keldon with 3pt shooting, Harrison Barnes, Jordan McLaughlin. Etc
Didn't have enough help defense. Spurs said bet and got: Stephon Castle, Carter Bryant, Luke Kornet, Mason Plumlee.
Spurs addressed what they were missing from Rookie Wemby to 3rd year Wemby.
Rookie: 22-60
Sophomore: 34-48
Current: 60-19 (3 games to go)
The San Antonio Spurs know exactly how to build a team. Who ever says otherwise don't know Ball.
Don't even get me started on How great their Cap situation is next 5 seasons. This is why I will continue to say the Spurs built a stronger team than the OKC THUNDER. And that the Spurs are the deepest team in the league.
Reproductive freedom is a human right. Georgia’s abortion ban has caused another tragedy—a woman now faces felony murder charges after taking abortion pills.
Women deserve access to care, not criminalization. I’ve introduced legislation condemning the prosecution of abortion and pregnancy outcomes because no one should face jail time for a personal medical decision.
I kind of assume SAVE Act fans think this affidavit system prevents broad disenfranchisement. It hinges on what "other evidence" means. If it's a high bar, then it doesn't help the disenfranchisement problem. If it's a low bar, then it's just..exactly how registration works now?
The text does allow for an affidavit, signed under penalty of perjury, along with other—but unspecified—evidence sufficient to the local official to establish that the person is a U.S. citizen. So as to Lee’s point 3, this isn’t abundantly clear on what is sufficient at all.
I’m honored to have received a 100% rating from the Family Research Council.
Their mission to champion faith, family, and freedom, and to advance a culture where life is valued and religious liberty thrives, is at the core of what I’m fighting for in Congress.
I’ll continue working every day to defend those principles and deliver for the people I serve.
I'm just going to leave out there for all people doing Internet Takes that "hasty conclusion that confirms my ideological priors about a particular policy" are mostly self-satisfying nonsense
Color me shocked that the Very Online Candidate with no experience and no real campaign strategy beyond "get likes on the internet" ended up losing a Democratic primary to the incumbent mayor of Evanston, Illinois.
I was constantly struck by hearing how Verdugo's teammates in Boston (and those who knew him in LA) talked about him, especially privately, all saying he legitimately had as much natural talent/skill as anyone in the game if other stuff didn't get in the way.
Kenley Jansen once gave me an impassioned speech where he kept saying: "That kid could be a fucking Hall of Famer if he figures it out" ... and that sentiment was shared with a lot of teammates who saw the skill.
(The Mookie Betts trade remains an all-time sham and embarrassment for Red Sox ownership made worse by the fact they took a lesser package in order to shed salary and this Verdugo take does not change that)
Wait ...a sitting Justice, who presumably lives in DC, did an event from the office of a sitting Senator? Like I know we've all stopped caring but it's wild to the extent he considers himself not a judge but a Republican.
This is a wonderful opportunity to explain the difference between *election* fraud, which happens, is what Dan is talking about, and would not be solved by Voter ID, and *voter* fraud, which does not happen to any meaningful degree such that it's worth it to enact a poll tax
The fantasy that nobody would ever do this & no election would ever be decided by fraud collides with the reality that people get convicted for doing this & elections get overturned by courts due to fraud every few years.
