Republicans keep admitting they can only win when fewer people vote. And Wisconsin’s voter ID law kept tens of thousands from polls in 2016 & helped tip state to Trump as @MotherJones reported motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
@MotherJones There's long history of WI GOP saying quiet part out loud & admitting they win because of voter suppression

In April 2016 GOP Rep Glenn Grothman said Hillary would lose Wisconsin because "now we have photo ID"

motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
@MotherJones In 2018 then-WI AG Brad Schimel told conservative radio host "How many of your listeners really honestly are sure that Sen. [Ron] Johnson was going to win reelection or President Trump was going to win Wisconsin if we didn’t have voter ID" motherjones.com/politics/2018/…

Democratic Party electorate is 40% non-white but the first two states are 92% white. This is a travesty
NH is 4th whitest state in US. IA is 6th. The stated principles of Democratic Party totally at odds with the two states that go first
I’m still thinking about how unfair it is that two rural states that are 91% & 93% white have so much power to shape the outcome of Democratic race

Mind-blowing stat: 48 Senators who voted to convict Trump represent 18 million more Americans than 52 Republicans who voted to acquit
48 Senators who voted to convict Trump of abuse of power represent 170 million people

52 Senators who voted to acquit represent 152 million people

In US Senate majority represents minority

Here is math via @imillhiser docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
@imillhiser 52 GOP Senators who represent 18 million fewer people than Dems/Romney, in a body where Wyoming has 68 times the voting power of California, blocked impeachment of president who lost popular vote by 2.9 million. American democracy is badly broken

Iowa caucus incredibly undemocratic:

-No absentee voting or secret ballot

-1000s with disabilities can’t participate

-40,000 with past felony convictions barred from voting

-Rural counties get more delegates than urban ones

This is not good way to choose party nominee
It’s great to see pics of packed caucus rooms but just imagine how many more people would be able to participate if Iowa had better voting laws
And remember Iowa is 90% white, disenfranchises 1 in 10 African-Americans because of felon disenfranchise law, has only 2 black mayors & has never elected a black or Latino statewide elected official

RT is the Kremlin-controlled news organization.

US intelligence agencies have concluded that RT had "actively collaborated with WikiLeaks" in the past & played a significant role in Russia's effort to influence the 2016 election and help Trump win.

Since Trump was elected, "“I never cried; I mobilized..I went to every meeting of everything.” So true of so many of us. This will resonate! #SaturdayMorning
