NEW: In a win for voters, a federal judge Monday dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Republican National Committee (RNC) seeking to force New Jersey to release sensitive voter data. https://t.co/1DjfkPNDJO
Under Russell Vought’s “leadership,” the relief rate for Nevadans seeking help from the CFPB has dropped while complaints about the CFPB have soared.
Vought has abandoned veterans, seniors, workers, everyone – and he doesn’t want to be held accountable for the results.
ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges.
This is fascism.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq.
Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell.
No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone.

Four members of Congress who sit in committees that directly regulate Elon Musk’s SpaceX now have a family stake in the company’s stock now that the company went public.
Yes, those are conflicts of interest. No, this should not be allowed. https://t.co/3yDMiL4PZ5
Have you ever seen an ostrich dance? In the wild, this “dancing” behavior might attract a mate, demonstrate social hierarchy or even help ostriches communicate. For our resident females Opal and Olive, it's just a bit of fun! 😉
Organized in 1864, Bricklayers Local 1 was the first Labor Union of any trade west of the Mississippi River!
This weekend BAC members are out at the Lincoln County Fair talking to voters about protecting their rights AND their wallets by Voting NO on 4&5 !!!
DAY 39 OF 55: If Amendment 5 passes, Missouri politicians will be able to raise or add taxes on every good or service in your life. You're not getting a tax cut — you're getting taxed to death through a thousand tiny paper cuts.
Vote NO on Amendment 5 on Tuesday, August 4th.
Stop pretending the biggest threat to elections is the average voter. The real threat is a system where 10 billionaires can pour over $600 million into one election cycle. Money shouldn’t have a louder voice than millions of Americans.
⚠️ This is a DANGEROUS situation near I-71 at Robertson Avenue right now. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED ROADS! Some near Oakley, Norwood, and Madeira have seen 3-4" of rain in the last 2 hours. TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!⚠️ #cincywx
Facts. We are all the same with only a few disagreements that most really don't care about.
Also, I want you to know, Hunter, that I use you as an example when trying to empower people going through our corrections system or substance issues.
You're proof that if one has resources, they can overcome using hard substances and still hold a good job, and even be a social leader.
Would love to collaborate one day on a project or two, but even if not, I want to thank you for your story.
Ol Bill Clinton could've been a better success story, but he chose to lie about not inhaling. It's time we stop playing kid games around substances and acknowledge our corrections system is more dangerous than any substance will ever be.

Canada cannot remain silent as the United States openly threatens to “dismantle” the ICC “brick by brick”, a fundamental institution of international law.
The ICC does not “override” the US, as Rubio false claims, but holds its officials accountable for war crimes committed in the territory of state parties.
This is a transparent effort to shut down investigations into criminal probes against Israeli officials for their crimes in Gaza, and to prevent the US from being held accountable for crimes against the people of Venezuela, Iran, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
This is a direct attack on everything that Canada claims to stand for. When will @MarkJCarney take a stand?

Orwell's most brilliant observation in "Nineteen Eighty-Four" was that reducing a person's vocabulary also reduces his capacity to think.
Reading old or difficult literature will unleash the full potential of your mind.

Warner: The irony of this is most of the accusations he's making about 2018 and 2020, Donald Trump's appointees were in charge of the intelligence community. Why didn't they find any of this so-called allegations?
