On a (leaked) call to TX lawmakers Ted Cruz said Dems want to expand voting rights to ‘illegal aliens’ & ‘child molesters’

2-"Cruz’s statements, recorded by a person on the call and obtained by The Associated Press, capture the building intensity behind Republicans’ nationwide campaign to restrict access to the ballot. From statehouses to Washington, the fight over who can vote and how —
3-"often cast as ‘voting integrity’ — has galvanized a Republican Party in search of unifying mission in the post-Trump era. For a powerful network of conservatives, voting restrictions are now viewed as a political life-or-death debate,
4-"and the fight has all-but eclipsed traditional Republican issues like abortion, gun rights and tax cuts as an organizing tool.” ~politico

Zoe Lofgren-a very close ally of Pelosi's- is running that show
GOP are *furious* (!!)
This will get very interesting..
Per Playbook:
"22 ballots. Hart’s argument centers on 22 ballots her campaign says were not counted but should have been — and which would have led to her victory had they been included in the final vote tally. WSJ’s Kristina Peterson has an overview:

Per CNN:
Trump's gold-plated 757
-a testament to his hedonism
has been sitting idle at an Orange Cty, NY airport, essentially in pieces & not flown since he left the WH
Is he too broke to fix it?
cnn.com/2021/03/19/pol…
2-"One engine is missing parts. The other is shrink-wrapped in plastic. The cost to fix and get it flyable could reach well into the high six-figures, a price-tag Trump doesn't appear to be dealing with right now.
