Whoa. A Biden-appointed judge in the southern district of Florida just ruled that the 1996 federal law criminalizing voting by non-citizens is unconstitutional. 👀
Suuuuper interesting, I was not tracking this. The judge found the law criminalizing noncitizen voting is a voter qualification statute, and therefore outside of Congress’s power.
Surprisingly, this is an issue of first impression!

When a rapist sticks up for other rapists it's called a professional courtesy.
Unfortunately, as expected...
Defending the men in the Cornell gang rape case. He “feels bad” for them and they won't get a “fair shake.”

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Oh good grief. I read the @time.com article earlier, and that was bad enough, but check out the transcript of the whole interview. It's like a distracted, mendacious dementia patient with ADHD. Unbelievable that this man is in charge of our country.
