I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 3w agoRight on cue, the Texas GOP moves to make it as difficult as possible to vote, especially in precincts across the state where the majority of voters are Democrats.
