Here's the MTR. Sense of Congress opposing allowing illegal immigrants to vote.
Not as newsy as an Ilhan Omar MTR would have been but probably more useful for political ads.
and the MTR is being offered by @RepDanCrenshaw, superstar.
Wow, Democrats were really caught off guard. Ranty, unprepared opposition speeches completely ignoring the content of the MTR.
MTR fails 197-228. Only 6 Democrats voted yes to oppose illegal immigrant voting. One Republican voted no.
The six Democrats who voted for a sense of Congress that illegal immigrants should not be allowed to vote and the one Republican who did not.

Gamblers have O'Rourke sliding into a third place tie with Harris. Yang just behind.
New odds from sportsbetting-dot-ag. Same top 5 as PredictIt but they have O'Rourke higher than Sanders.
Bookmaker-dot-eu same top 4, but Warren tied with Yang in fifth.

Amendment fails but *126* Democrats voted to impose a mandatory national voting age of 16. #FthePeopleAct
Check that. 125 Democrats and one crazy Republican.
And the one Republican who voted to mandate all states lower the voting age to 16 in all federal elections is... @michaelcburgess.

Weird.

The very conservative @weeklystandard editorial shocker:
"Only one president in history, Andrew Jackson, has ever been censured by #Congress, but #Republicans on the Hill would not be out of line in seeking a formal censure of Donald #Trump. [MORE]
weeklystandard.com/the-editors/ed…
[CONT 2]
"We understand that such a measure wld be largely symbolic. But symbols matter. It would be no small thing for congressional #Republicans to declare, in a formal manner, that a president who coddles and defends an anti-American despot doesn’t deserve their support." MORE
[CONT 3]
"Passage of a censure resolution by the House or #Senate wld be a powerful statement that #GOP leaders will not excuse a sitting president of either party openly crediting America’s enemies at the expense of its public servants—& of the truth."

Putin's Ideological War THREAD 1/8:

Trump & the modern GOP are symptoms of Russian war unleashed upon the U.S. population.

Knowledge is key to winning this war & preventing Kremlin-inspired radicalization of our people.

Must read by @KirkseniyaSF. ⬇️
kyivpost.com/article/opinio…
"The Kremlin creates special mini-ideologies...aimed at specific social groups."

The first such group Kirillova discusses is RW ideologically religious. To that end, the Kremlin seeks to target activities & propaganda at Christian groups inclined to "protect Christianity." 2/8
Putin also targets less religious but still very far right groups in democracies abroad.

This ideology is frequently intertwined w/nationalist sentiments & the promise of a restoration of lost greatness. ('Make America Great Again' is the U.S. version of this rhetoric.) 3/8

Yesterday I was the target of doxxing. Today, a publication slandered me.

I sent takedown notices. It only fueled the harassment. So I started digging & made a discovery.

I'd become part of a smear campaign led by the same far-right propagandists that elected Trump.
(THREAD)
Meet the Western Journal. Before this morning I'd never heard of them. And if you guessed it might be some fake news website copying the Wall Street Journal's logo and type, you wouldn't be far off.

As you can see, they hit all the right-wing talking points. (2)
Defame Parkland survivor? ✅
Praise Trump? ✅
Depict immigrants as criminals? ✅

But this website is much much more than just another fake news site. It's part of Liftable, founded by Floyd Brown.

If Floyd doesn't sound familiar, he should. (2)
