    11,000 retweets on this false claim. The bill wouldn't do anything to legalize the NC fraud. It wouldn't *ban* "harvesting" (having people gather/submit others' absentee ballots) where it is currently legal, like California, but wouldn't "legalize" it.

    You do realize your bill would actually make that kind of fraud in LEGAL. Right? TRUTH: it would legalize vote harvesting across the entire country, use your tax $ to do it, and limit free speech drastically. All in the name of “democracy.” Even ACLU opposes it.

    But let me end with this: , your commitment to our country is unquestionable, and I’m grateful for it. This bill is about making sure every vote counts and everyone can cast one. Think we can all agree on that. (3/3)

    Insurers will continue to skirt parity laws & deny patients lifesaving mental health care until we hold them accountable. We would never accept this for a cancer diagnosis, yet it’s a daily reality for those suffering with mental illness and their families. They deserve better.

    Make no mistake, this is a government-orchestrated effort to silence reporters, hide the truth and subdue dissent. This President has made clear how he feels about asylum seekers and a free press. Even so, this is outrageous.

    NBC: Customs and Border Protection compiled a list of 59 mostly American reporters, attorneys and activists for border agents to stop for questioning when crossing the border at San Diego-area checkpoints. Agents questioned or arrested at least 21 of them.

    As GOP stands unified against a bill to strengthen our democracy & increase transparency in our elections, it’s important to remember that the seat is vacant because a GOP candidate tried to steal an election & only failed because local journalists uncovered the truth.

    That these stories are so common strikes at the profound injustice of our justice system. Wealth can buy leniency while poverty and race are used to criminalize.

    Kalief Browder a black teen, allegedly stole a backpack = 3.5 years in prison waiting for trial. Fate Winslow a homeless black man, helped sell $20 of marijuana = life in prison. Crystal Mason a black woman, voting while on prohibition = 5 years in prison.

    This is exactly why we need to pass and hand the power of our democracy back to voters. Mitch McConnell and his donors should not hold the sole power to decide our nation’s future.

    Why are you allowing a vote on the Green New Deal, but not HR 1, if you oppose both proposals? “Because I get to decide what we’re voting on,” McConnell says
