“Judging from extensive news coverage as well as self-declarations by Presler and EVA, they spent considerably above that threshold specifically to encourage voters to “Vote No” on the retention of the three justices. Yet, neither Presler nor EVA registered and disclosed that campaign spending, leaving voters unaware who, and how much, was spent to influence their vote choices.”https://t.co/ZLDCYPwFlX

[Al Schmidt @Commish_Schmidt]

“Active” voters are registered voters. “Inactive” voters are registered voters. Active or inactive status is a voter list maintenance term counties use in Pennsylvania. All registered voters, regardless of status, are able to cast a ballot. To learn more:

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit seeking to compel Washington, D.C. to provide the DOJ with access to its complete voter registration database.

DOJ is now 0-21 in these cases. Elias Law Group remains undefeated. https://t.co/5AEGSB0kpM

[Al Schmidt @Commish_Schmidt]

Every summer. Every year. All 67 counties in Pennsylvania conduct voter list maintenance (so-called “purging” of voter rolls), as required by law. This process includes changing the status of significant numbers of voters who haven’t voted in 5 years from “active” to “inactive.”

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

While America has a 4.4% unemployment rate, it's SURGED to 7.3% for Black women. This is economic injustice in real time. When DEI programs are dismantled and federal jobs cut, Black women pay the price FIRST. We will not be silent. Economic justice IS civil rights.

88 percent of millionaires went to college.
70-80 percent of billionaires have at least a college degree.

So it seems like something is there in college that’s worth it?

Trade school is more than fine, but the bigger issue is this widespread campaign to convince young Black men that college isn’t for them. You’re effectively promoting disenfranchisement.

College isn’t just about the money that can be made, but overall enrichment and experience.

The reason college costs so much now is because Ronald Reagan believed colleges were promoting radicalism and “filth” (sound familiar?) because the students saw through the bullshit so as California Governor, he dismantled the public higher education system and that became the model for the nation.

Reagan’s education czar also wanted college to be less accessible to low-income people because they wanted a permanent underclass and didn’t want Blacks and Latinos having such easy access to upward mobility.

So it seems if it’s this much of a designed effort to keep you out of college or to convince you college isn’t worth it — maybe your ass should go to college.

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design.

But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️
