Trump has made baseless claims that mail-in voting is “cheating,” “corrupt,” and “horrible.”
During his bonkers primetime address in July he claimed, without evidence, that “mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt.”
Utter horseshit. There is zero evidence of widespread fraud.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal.
There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened.
We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.
