Actually, these folks lost Obamacare because the Republicans control Congress. We can change that in November but Trump can still veto any reforms unless the blue candidates win a 60% Senate majority. Rise up, MAGA, and cast out the racist Reds who suck up to Trump. #iwccc #indivisible

The Supremes held that, in some cases, mail in ballots must be counted, but did not say the Post Office has to postmark ballots the day they arrive, nor did they roll back gerrymandering. Punish the Reds. Vote Blue up and down the ballot in November. Work to elect Dems. #iwccc #indivisible #whit

I'm so glad that DPA, NORML and MPP (among others) are continuing the fight to end the war on cannabis. Did anyone else notice that despite three (3) announcements from Trump this year, cannabis is just as illegal federally as it was under Nixon and Reagan? That's because Trump always lies. #iwccc
Last week we joined partner orgs for Cannabis Week of Unity in DC to demand Congress decriminalize cannabis, free people incarcerated for cannabis offenses, and clear records.

Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool.
But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong.

The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.
