Stay tuned, bro.
Any credible allegation of voter fraud should be taken seriously and investigated.
That being said, the action by Trump’s DOJ — charging just 28 individuals — suggests they have no evidence to back up their claims just last week of TENS or HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of illegally registered voters.
Yes, non-citizen voter registration and voting does happen in isolated instances — in California and the rest of the country alike — but it is so rare that the Trump admin is parading around town about .0001% of California voters.
If the feds were serious about this, they would have done this long ago — not in the middle of people voting, which inherently and needlessly sows distrust and doubt in our democracy.

Billionaire Epstein associate Reid Hoffman gave your ex-girlfriend and political strategist Tara McGowan $20 million last year while you were dating her. Did any of that cash trickle down to you?

Ummm... Slotkin used a veiled threat of prosecution to dissuade Republicans from serving.
Sit the fuck down, skippy.
.@SenatorSlotkin is a patriot, who has sworn an oath to serve multiple times. She called out blatant corruption and she was right to do so.
It's unacceptable to use the justice system to threaten your political opponents. These continued attacks against her are dangerous, and they are offensive to the ideals we all hold as Americans. It needs to stop.

Unfortunately for Ilhan Omar, it is looking like self-deportation is no longer an option. dhs.gov/cbphome

After the @CivilRights Division found that Berkeley Law has an illegal race-based admissions system, its “flagship” student-run California Law Review thought it would be a bright idea to destroy evidence of possible race discrimination in how it selects its members. We’re investigating! 🤨

Wow! Congrats guys.
Can't wait for the Second Circuit to tell us how armor is not an "arm" for 2A purposes despite Heller defining the term as "weapons of offence or armour of defence"

🚨 BREAKING: Two people were arrested this morning in Chicago in an alleged $29.7 million SNAP fraud scheme.
Per the DOJ, they allegedly used their food stores to run thousands of fake food purchases. They were indicted in the Southern District of Ohio and are charged with multiple felonies.
Assistant Attorney General McDonald: "There is no program too noble for a fraudster. They will take whatever they can no matter the financial cost and no matter the human toll."
In Massachusetts, prosecutors filed a complaint against a two-time felon and Dominican national suspected to be in the country illegally.
Steal from hungry kids, and the DOJ is coming for you.

15 of 15 New York Social Adult Daycares audited yesterday showed no record of a single meal, activity, or hour of supervision — just attendance sheets.
These daycares are receiving millions from our Medicaid system and providing NOTHING in return —this is FRAUD!
"Sign in sheets already had things filled out for tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday—they're already pre-filling out sheets and billing for people who haven't shown up yet!" —@CMSGov Deputy Administrator Dan Brillman

"I did things the right way. It really infuriated me seeing all these illegals coming in front of the line."
Legal immigrants are voting RED because they want to keep America American—and know Trump is the best President we’ve ever seen.
Legal immigration ONLY! 🇺🇸🔥

Yes. Somalis comprise roughly 2% of Minnesota’s ~5.8 million people. In the major federal social-services fraud cases (Feeding Our Future, housing, autism/Medicaid programs), U.S. Attorney data shows about 89% of defendants (82 of 92) are of Somali descent. Losses in these schemes exceed hundreds of millions, with estimates into the billions. Most community members are law-abiding.

They never stop.
They never quit.
They have no shame.
A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state and congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in the midterms, according to people involved. wapo.st/3WjVke5
