Muses, it is written, can out-sing Sirens.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump is now threatening to withhold more than $1 billion meant to prevent terrorism and prepare for disasters, unless states adopt his preferred election rules.

This isn’t about election integrity. It never has been. It’s about strong-arming states into making it harder for you to vote.

His plan would force states to run voter rolls through a deeply flawed database that could flag perfectly eligible American citizens for removal. And complying with his new mandates could cost states more than $2.7 BILLION.

The Constitution gives states control over how elections are run. Courts have said so repeatedly. And yet here we are, watching the President try to buy his way around it with funds meant to keep communities safe.

I am fighting every single day to make sure our elections stay free, fair, and out of Trump’s hands.

Only 500 whooping cranes remain.

A federal judge has blocked Trump's order to require USPS to create voter lists and restrict mail-in ballots.

This is despite Trump himself voting by mail 3 months ago.

The Supreme Court has ruled that chemical company Monsanto cannot be blamed for failing to warn people about cancer risks with the main chemical in Roundup, glyphosate.

Trump recently signed an executive order to boost domestic production of glyphosate.

Gov. @JBPritzker: I'm proud to be signing the Reproductive Health Records Privacy Act today, legislation that strengthens protections for patients' personal information by prohibiting the sharing of abortion-related medical records with out of state healthcare providers, without explicit patient consent. Healthcare records exist to treat patients, not surveil and punish them.

Police sketch of the main suspect

Who saw this a while back and just KNEW this was not gonna end well?

Trump made his motorcade drive down the reflecting pool before it was sealed.

The contractor didn’t clean up the motor oil and tire dust, they just painted right over it.

The paint failed exactly as predicted.

By June, massive gashes of blue lining were peeling off in the exact shape of the motorcade’s path. The oil trapped underneath stopped the paint from sticking.

Surface prep 101.

Six innocent people arrested.

ICE agents beat a man in Minnesota for following and observing their abuses so badly that they gave him brain damage. They chained him to his hospital bed for 5 days and charged him, but like so many other cases, the video led to a dismissal but not charges for the agents.

Minnesotans are living through a coordinated campaign of retribution from the Trump Administration.

Funding cuts. Lawsuits. Terrorizing our citizens.

Today, I filed 16 FOIA requests to find out how far this campaign reaches.

BREAKING NYT:

Government documents raise new doubts about Trump's unsubstantiated claim that "vandals" sabotaged the Reflecting Pool.

There's no indication the peeling blue coating and algae blooms were caused intentionally — and the Trump admin knew that.

5 Republican Senators have started saying they may not confirm Trump's Attorney General nominee, Todd Blanche.

This comes after Blanche's involvement in the creation of Trump's $1.8B slush fund and tax immunity for Trump's entire family.
