We have found the voter fraud. It’s the GOP. Republican Judge Tomas ‘Tommy’ Ramirez III was arrested along with three other people on 150 counts of voter fraud. They’re accused of multiple charges including ballot harvesting at nursing homes in South Texas.

WHEN IS ANY MAJOR, CREDIBLE NEWS OUTLET GOING TO MENTION GINNI THOMAS AND HER PART IN THIS CAPITOL RIOT? She is the wife of Clarence Thomas, SCOTUS. She paid for 70 busses to bring in the mob, and has had access to Trump to discuss loyalists/enemies.

There is nothing more anti-American than a secret police force assaulting a Navy veteran peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights. Please share and make it clear that #EnoughIsEnough!

After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

We know that this year’s Memorial Day weekend will look a bit different than before, but there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the holiday weekend and honor those who died in military service while keeping our communities safe.

Every student, no matter where they come from, has a birthright to a quality public education. Today’s settlement is a good start, but there’s more work to do. I remain committed to ensuring paths to literacy for students across the state. Read more: michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,…

I didn't spend my childhood in barbed wire enclosed internment camps so I could listen to grown adults today cry oppression because they have to wear a mask at Costco.

Trump sought a reopening but found the virus in the White House instead Trump hoped this would be the week he emerged into a nation recovering economically from the pandemic. Instead, the pandemic came to him! #TrumpDepression cnn.com/2020/05/08/politics/…

Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not now become truths. This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr. In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history.

I hope other governors around the country follow @GavinNewsom’s lead. No voter should be forced to choose between their safety and exercising their civic duty this fall.
BREAKING: Gov. @GavinNewsom signs executive order to send every Californian a mail-in ballot for November election. CA is the first state in the country to do so, he says. abc7ne.ws/2LbfoaP

Today, the United States had 23,000 new cases of COVID-19. Canada has 48,000 - total. Since this whole thing began. America is now adding PER DAY almost 50% of the TOTAL number of Canadian cases. Heck of a job, Trumpie.

Susan Collins wasn’t mad Mitch took a long weekend. Susan Collins wasn’t mad when trump lied to Americans. But now Susan Collins is mad that Wall Street won’t get a slush fund. Go to hell, Susan.

I’m an independent who has voted for both parties. When 9/11 happened, I was very anti-GWB. Still am. But when he addressed us in the aftermath, I felt he conducted himself as a compassionate human and I felt united with my fellow Americans. This POTUS has zero humanity. 0.

The Trump administration was told in January that coronavirus was likely to become a pandemic. They refused to act for fear of spooking the markets, losing weeks of time to prepare that we won’t get back. washingtonpost.com/national-…
