Women Drive Dems To 12-Pt. Lead In U.S. House Races, Poll Finds; Voters Split On Confirming Kavanaugh https://t.co/aBYDGsuTth #SCOTUS

Tomorrow marks one month since @Ocasio2018's upset win in New York. Since then, Democrats have moved from +5.7 to +8.2 on the generic ballot. The national conversation often doesn't reflect what's happening in states. https://t.co/jAfFhpTa4s

Why do chances of the House flipping keep increasing when @realDonaldTrump doubles down on his base?

-GOP is shrinking
-Independents moving to Dems
-Turns out the #GOPTaxScam that benefits the top 1% only helps you with 1% of the voters

Dems have #ABetterDeal #ForThePeople https://t.co/XZDOpFKmyA

More people are saying Russian interference changed the 2016 election result

We’ll never know how many voters were influenced by Russian interference. It must have been helpful in electing Trump or they wouldn’t keep doing it.

More people are saying that it did change the election results.

I'm still not convinced, but I'm told by people I respect that there's more research coming that strengthens this case. If it does, I'll change my mind, too. https://t.co/gbMjsJZIQb

Former DNI Clapper

Once again: Clear by now, imo, that the campaign was compromised and people in it and around it knowingly colluded with the Russians. All that's left is how much the President knew, when, and what he did about it. https://t.co/H0N97tSIAH

Trump’s dangerous VFW speech

Trump was wrong to give a political speech at the VFW yesterday. He told them what they were seeing and reading wasn’t happening. That’s 1984 territory.

The VFW apologized for their members that booed the press but what did they expect with a speaker who calls the press the enemy of the people? Too bad they don’t have the guts to blame Trump too – audience members were only responding to his ideas.

Trump was supposed to be addressing the VFW in Missouri, but he invited Republican Senate Candidate Josh Hawley on stage and allowed him to speak in what was an illegal use of taxpayer money to pay for what turned into a campaign event. https://t.co/TxaUgBZGS2 pic.twitter.com/yXkh1Vn6w1

Trump bringing Republican Senate candidate Josh Hawley on stage at VFW event.

VFW has not endorsed Hawley, or anyone else. VFW doesn't endorse candidates.

So Trump's just using VFW platform to get Hawley face time on national TV. pic.twitter.com/sy2Fcm1IOP

Today, we were disappointed to hear some of our members boo the press during President Trump's remarks. We rely on the media to spread the VFW message, and @CNN, @NBCNews, @ABC, @FoxNews, @CBSNews, & others on site today, were our invited guests. We were happy to have them there.

2020 census update – citizenship question

update 10/27/18:

If it were not already obvious, the decision to add a citizenship question to the decennial census is a purely political one and is not about improving the quality of the data or obtaining better citizenship information in a less obtrusive manner https://t.co/2IfRlRV8gz

— Michael McDonald (@ElectProject) October 27, 2018

Yet another smoking gun showing how Trump trying to rig 2020 census. Sessions didn't even allow Census Bureau to weigh in on citizenship question that could tank entire census by massively suppressing immigrant responses https://t.co/NaG7re7hmu

Ross pushed to add the citizenship question

Thread on the 2020 census citizenship question. First, my Bloomberg column arguing strongly against including a citizenship question on the 2020 census: https://t.co/rdJNtCQVTw [1/N]

— Michael R. Strain (@MichaelRStrain) July 24, 2018

There’s only one chance every decade to get the Census right. Demand a fair & accurate #2020Census without a citizenship question that furthers Steve Bannon and @KrisKobach1787's political agenda. @vanitaguptaCR https://t.co/rR1fTZpwoI

This email shows that Commerce Sec's claim that DOJ first requested citizenship question to better enforce Voting Rights Act was a total lie https://t.co/eLQtwhwXb0

— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) September 17, 2018

2/The bottom of the email then says that Commerce would try to figure out some way that they could add the citizenship question themselves, without having to rely on DOJ. But apparently they later realized that they needed DOJ for the pretext.

— Daniel Jacobson (@Dan_F_Jacobson) September 17, 2018

What this and related emails we've obtained show is that Commerce toyed with the idea of not counting non-citizens AT ALL as part of the Census. They were then told that an old DOJ opinion said that would be illegal, so they apparently turned to Plan B. cc: @dale_e_ho https://t.co/alZdwmnTf3

Ross caught lying to congress to facilitate a miscounting of the population to malaportion House districts and it doesn’t even make a ripple amidst the other shit they are pulling. https://t.co/YFws4gFknj

Don’t you think some of the people the US is harming will become terrorists against the US?

Justice department will use “illegal alien” instead of “undocumented”

The Justice Department has instructed US attorneys offices not to use the term "undocumented" immigrants and instead refer to someone illegally in the US as "an illegal alien," according to a copy of an agency-wide email obtained by CNN.https://t.co/H6dTJrt1Do
