Why are elections important? Brandon Waithe of Buckeye Veterans explains it beautifully. This is what we vote for.

"...Veterans were promised a path to the middle class.

"Instead they are on a path to homelessness." 2/2

[Arabella Meyer @arabellacm]

The end of this article by @MikeEmbrich sums it up: "A country that can spend endlessly on war but will not protect veterans from losing their homes on the other side of war is not just morally corrupt, it is a travesty... 1/2

I am proud to be a member of the Bar. This is a group of attorneys who are working to save our country. The following is a description of an ethics complaint they filed in DC against US Attorney Drew Ensign regarding unethical conduct in immigration cases. https://t.co/kIH0rLGDZs

Americans know the National Guard. The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

[Jocelyn Benson @JocelynBenson]

Let’s be clear: @elonmusk is spreading dangerous disinformation.

Here are the facts:

There aren’t more voters than citizens in Michigan. There are 7.2 million active registered voters and 7.9 citizens of voting age in our state.

Musk is pushing a misleading number that includes 1.2 million inactive records slated for removal in accordance with the law.

[The Chamberlain Network @ChamberlainVets]

There is nothing to debate publicly about the 2020 election results -- repeated investigations have been exhaustively investigated and litigated and accusations of a "stolen" election have been found without merit

[The Chamberlain Network @ChamberlainVets]

Political violence has no place in this country. Period. As veterans, we have an important role to play in standing against it. The mission of defending democracy doesn’t end when we take off the uniform. We have an obligation to continue the mission as engaged citizens

[The Chamberlain Network @ChamberlainVets]

Our founder @itsapurdy on election misinfo in #Debate2024 “Our elections are secure. Thousands of election officials, many of whom are veterans, work hard to verify results through rigorous checks and balances, ensuring that every legal vote is counted" https://t.co/R5D7YSFbYB

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

Some of the big lies we've heard so far:
1. The 2020 election was won by Trump.
2. Millions of immigrants are pouring over the border and increasing crime in the U.S.
3. Those millions are voting despite lacking citizenship.

📢Okay, folks. We’re setting the record STRAIGHT. Here’s @Tim_Walz record.

This is really interesting and helpful in understanding what is going on in Venezuela.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It's important to understand what's happening in Venezuela right now, and how the Biden/Harris team helped put the brutal Nicolas Maduro in a strategic corner.

1/ First - let me be clear: the briefings I've received show Maduro lost the presidential election - badly.

[Arabella Meyer @arabellacm]

All of us must do this!

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Fellow white women: I've spent the last decade organizing you and I know firsthand the impact you can have when you use your economic and political power for good. This MUST be the election when a majority of us help elect the first woman, a Black woman, President. That means...

[Arabella Meyer @arabellacm]

Truly one of the great selfless acts from a man who has been an excellent president. Thank you @JoeBiden for your service to this country, for making it a better place, and for showing what it’s really like to put Americans and America first. With gratitude.

[Arabella Meyer @arabellacm]

This is so true. I spoke with a young g mother the other day who is eager to go back to school to train as a nurse but can’t because she has young children and no childcare.

[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

NEW: The US still has a childcare crisis.
It's hurting the economy
It's hurting families
And it's contributing to lingering anger about inflation

America needs to fix this. It's not that hard. Many other nations have figured it out (and seen a big econ boost)

[Arabella Meyer @arabellacm]

Very pleased to see today's #scotus decision. However, we aren't out of the woods yet. We all need to speak out to preserve #womenshealth.

All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception:

John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker

So much for the party of "freedom."

[Molly O'Toole @mollymotoole]

Asylum is not a "loophole." It is the law. Providing access to it is required by U.S. & international statute. These are facts. Facts are our job. How & why do the biggest news organizations in the U.S. publish & promote blatant inaccuracies on immigration? It is irresponsible.

[Yael Schacher @YaelSchacher]

what this reads like to me:
We don't have enough resources to consider all claims so we are going to find an arbitrary way to cut their number and target people crossing the border unlawfully-- no matter their claims.
