Donald Trump lied when he said there are 280,000 noncitizens registered to vote in 4 states. He is saying this to threaten states to turn over their voter rolls to the administration and agree to remove the names of people Trump doesn't want to be able to vote.
Shapiro: I was Pennsylvania AG in 2020 when Trump's enablers took me to court 43 times to try and throw out votes. Every single time they went to court, they lost. They went 0-43, and I went 43-0, because they could never produce the evidence to back up the president's BS.
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to force Virginia to provide the DOJ with access to its complete statewide voter registration database.
Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. DOJ is now 0-14 in these cases.

Donald Trump is at war with our democracy and Georgia is ground zero.
But this is John Lewis’ Georgia. We are not intimidated. We are not moved.
Mr. President, instead of attacking our democracy, why don’t you do something about the high cost of gas, housing, and health care?
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

Lieu: Trump overpaid on a no-bid contract to a pool guy who was a total amateur and messed up the Reflecting Pool, and now Trump’s fragile ego has him trying to cover this up by saying someone did a 350-foot gash in the pool. This pool has 24/7 cameras on it. So we’re in a place where the president is just lying because he can’t handle that he totally screwed up the Reflecting Pool.
Judge blocks Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Elections are controlled by states and Congress, not the president. https://t.co/igrOZnmEAm
We & allies are fighting this nonsense in court, w/ even more legal pushback coming
Trump has consistently lost in court & voters should be assured mail-in voting will be free & fair
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Wednesday permanently blocked several key parts of President Donald Trump’s 2025 anti-voting executive order. https://t.co/hlKlL4nzV6
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.
Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.
PETERS: Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?
POSTMASTER GENERAL STEINER: No.
PETERS: So the proposed rule basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face the consequences of not being able to vote by mail
The President just made thousands of stock trades — and then he turned around and made decisions that shifted those companies’ bottom lines. It's corrupt, and we need to end it.
I just forced a vote to prevent totally unqualified hacks like Bill Pulte from serving as DNI – it was blocked.
We have dozens of qualified and capable intelligence leaders ready to serve.
Our national security is too important to be handled by this Trump lackey.
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu is publicly calling on the White House to answer growing questions surrounding reports that an unidentified 79-year-old man received exclusive access to a powerful experimental drug through the FDA’s compassionate use program.
“The White House needs to come clean,” Lieu said. “Did Donald Trump get this special drug?”
Senate Republicans just blocked Jon Ossoff's bill to ban Members of Congress from trading cryptocurrency and stocks.
"We could go to any town, any county in Georgia, and ask anybody of either political party or no political party, 'Should Members of Congress be playing the stock market while we make legislation?' and overwhelmingly the answer would be no."
