Trump and Republicans don’t want to prevent voter fraud, they want to prevent voting. Republicans want you to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, the insurrection was justified, and their voter suppression laws are about election security. They are lying! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
1/ You’re on a long walk with your old college roommate. She hasn't voted in years. She says the system is too broken to bother. You want to argue, but you remember what she’s been through: job loss, mounting bills, a system that ignored her. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
The Catholic Diocese of Brownsville is working to gather information on Sunday’s arrest of a nun as she was walking to church in McAllen, calling circumstances behind the actions by federal immigration agents “wildly disturbing.”
Questions remain about ICE arrest of South Texas nun

BREAKING: Dr. Annie Andrews will challenge Lindsey Graham for his U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina in November.
Today is the 82nd anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, commonly known as D-Day. Let's take a moment to remember the brave service of those Allied men and women who crossed a treacherous sea to bring freedom to Europe, and those brave members of the French Resistance who aided them.
On D-Day, we honor the courage of Allied troops who stormed Normandy and helped liberate Europe from tyranny. Their sacrifice changed the course of history. As a veteran, I carry that legacy. We owe them gratitude, remembrance, and a commitment to the freedoms they defended.
There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
Wanna know a secret? MAGA is hemorrhaging voters. The paid shills are trying to keep sanewashing this, but there’s a reason Trump’s primary performance doesn’t translate to general elections: His base is shrinking, and voters are tired of the bullshit.
Battle of Anzio. Allied troops landed at Anzio on 1/22/1944 to outflank German forces on the Gustav Line south of Rome, Italy. Germans pinned down Allied troops for months until Allied forces broke out in late May 1944. Roughy 7,000 Allied troops were killed & 35,000 were wounded or missing.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Stephen Colbert ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan stage that made The Beatles mega stars.
🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸
