I break down country’s worst voter suppression laws, architects of voter suppression & biggest myths about voter fraud in new video series for @motherjones. This is how Trump & GOP are rigging elections motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
In Texas you can vote with gun permit but not student ID. Here are worst GOP voter suppression laws in TX, WI, KS & FL
Sorry Mr President but millions didn't vote illegally in 2016. You're more likely to be struck by lightning than impersonate another voter. I debunk 5 biggest lies about voter fraud
What do the country's 3 biggest vote suppressors have in common? Hint: they're all former members of Trump's disgraced 'election integrity' commission

Breaking: Scott Walker signs lame duck GOP legislative coup stripping his Democratic successor of power & making it harder to vote. This is the kind of thing autocrats do

A very dark day for democracy in Wisconsin
Scott Walker just signed lame duck coup brazenly stripping power from Dem gov/AG & making it harder to vote

Similar legislative coups underway in MI & NC

GOP shamelessly gutting democracy before they lose power

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Gutting unions

Lame duck coups

Extreme gerrymandering

Rampant voter suppression

Eviscerating campaign finance

This is Scott Walker's legacy in Wisconsin

RIP to 97-year-old civil rights activist Rosanell Eaton who passed away yesterday

She passed literacy test to register to vote & then registered over 4,000 people. She was plaintiff in @ncnaacp lawsuit challenging NC voter ID law

A remarkable woman I was honored to know
Rosanell Eaton had to pass literacy test in 1940s to register to vote under Jim Crow

Then when NC passed voter ID law she had to make 11 trips to different state agencies to get right ID

NC just passed new version of voter ID law in lame duck session thenation.com/article/the-92…
As I wrote in my book Give Us the Ballot, civil rights hero Rosanell Eaton had to recite Preamble to Constitution to register to vote under Jim Crow

70 years later she was still fighting for voting rights in North Carolina & joined @RevDrBarber's Moral Monday movement

Breaking: North Carolina GOP passes voter ID law in lame duck session before they lose supermajority & Dem gov can veto

Law targets voter impersonation, which is practically non-existent, while doing little to stop massive election fraud committed by GOP in NC09
Last time NC GOP passed voter ID law court said it targeted black voters "with almost surgical precision"

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
This is very important

NC's last voter ID law exempted mail-in ballots, where massive election fraud in NC9 committed, while targeting voter impersonation, which is basically non-existent

That's b/c Dems vote more in person while GOP votes more absentee

2). A meme was flown across Twitter over the past few months, coming to my attention again yesterday. I saved it so I could do this little investigation!
3.) According to this meme:
A. U.S. Immigration passed laws in accordance with the passing of the McCarran Walters Act of 1952., Revised & Re-Affirmed in 1965.

Chapter 2, Sec.212: As the PROHIBITION OF THE ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES IF THE ALIEN BELONGS TO AN ORGANIZATION

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
