Biden: Being human is being imperfect, driven by appetite and ambition as much as goodness and grace. But some things should be simple and straightforward, the most important and most fundamental of those things is the right to vote and the right to vote freely.
.@JoeBiden: "You don’t call facts fake and try to bring down the American experiment just because you’re unhappy. That’s not statesmanship, that’s selfishness, that’s not democracy, that’s a denial of the right to vote. Its suppresses. It subjugates."
Biden: "The denial of full and free elections is the most un-American thing that any of us can imagine, the most undemocratic and unpatriotic."
Typo in OP; should say "It suppresses."
Apologies.

.@RepRaskin and @RepMaloney want Cyber Ninjas, the company that participated in an "audit" of Maricopa County votes to cough up answers to Congress on why it "promotes baseless conspiracy theories" and seeks to "undermine U.S. elections."

The draft legislation to federally decriminalize weed is public. There are many notable provisions here, everything from states' rights to resentencing/ expungement to public health programs to taxation + sale. I'll break it down soon for @CourthouseNews.

Interesting tidbit here if the bill to federally decriminalize weed were passed as is: the Bureau of Alchohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would be rebranded as the Bureau of Alchohol, Tobacco, Cannabis, Firearms and Explosives. Image
Schumer-Wyden-Booker get their press conference underway soon on the bill aiming to end federal prohibition of marijuana. Report up soon for @CourthouseNews.

Today, President @JoeBiden meets with AG Merrick Garland et al to talk about gun crimes in America. The conversation is expected to lean heavily into increasing state & local funding for police. I will have more later today for @CourthouseNews.
Joining Biden @ the WH today: DC Mayor @MurielBowser, Mayor of San Jose, CA @sliccardo + Memphis PD police chief CJ Davis; superintendent for Chicago PD David Brown, Wilmington, DE PD chief Robert Tracy, Newark NJ chief Anthony Lima & Aqueela Sherrills (cbpscollective.org/our-team/)
