Electronic communications made public Tuesday show Gov. Greg Abbott’s office was a driving force in the state’s program to purge nearly 100,000 suspected non-U.S. citizens from Texas’ voter rolls.
The program was scrapped in April after the state settled lawsuits challenging it, and after Secretary of State officials publicly admitted they included flawed data showing tens of thousands of naturalized citizens were on the purge list.
He doesn’t seem to like service for the benefit of others.
Vanity Fair's Gabe Sherman obtained Trump's prenup with Marla Maples.

Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in criminal case involving his hush payments to women he slept with right after his 3rd wife gave birth to his 5th child. He, Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric are under investigation for fraud and tax evasion.

I’m a fairly verbose person, but today I am lost for words. Thank you for your support and the complement, Mr. Obama. If I can ever repay them with pastries, please let me know! https://t.co/ZjJzXN4MM6

Good morning! If you're just waking up in the US, here's what President Trump said overnight about why he wouldn't have wanted to serve in Vietnam: "Well, I was never a fan of that war. I’ll be honest with you. I thought it was a terrible war, I thought it was very far away…"
Job creation skidded to a near-halt in May in another sign that the U.S. economic momentum is slowing. Private payrolls rose just 27,000 last month, just 10% of the 271,000 positions added in April. https://t.co/6vZFlAc94Fpic.twitter.com/YXob5o9648

1. A few thoughts as Trump goes off to D-Day commemorations.
When I was 19, I visited the beaches of Normandy and the cemeteries there. It was like a gut punch seeing all the young men buried there who were younger than me at the time. Just kids. I was in awe of their sacrifice.

We really need to protect our United States secular government from turning into a theocracy where only conservative Catholics set our laws. They certainly can choose not to benefit from medical advances that came from using fetal tissue. This is an attack on science by religion. https://t.co/qeKZ60MORd

I think FBI discovered Stone was having several people and entities hacked for Trump and that it helps build the case that he (and Trump) were involved early on, not just after being "told" WikiLeaks had hacked emails of Hillary and DNC.

BREAKING: North Carolina Republicans fail to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of a bill that would have made it a crime if doctors and nurses failed to care for an infant delivered during an unsuccessful abortion. https://t.co/i6BFYKfDcC
If the House impeaches, GOP senators in those states will have to vote to convict or acquit. I'm not a highly paid Democratic consultant, but that seems good for Dems hoping to retake the Senate.
The Hyde Amendment bars the use of government funds to pay for abortion, which has a disproportionate affect on minorities and the poor. Abortion is healthcare and it's simple. If you support a woman's right to choose you should support repealing the Hyde Amendment.

I’m getting nothing but mixed messages about hearings and/or impeachment proceedings every single day and I’m sick of it. DEMOCRATS NEED TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER, stop working at cross purposes and give us some clue that is consistent with their actions.
Are you listening to LOD? I am extremely frustrated with Pelosi. And surprised. She is being cowardly which is unlike anything I have ever seen from her. WHY? Anyone able to explain?
No, I’m not watching. I’m just really seriously confused and tired of the mixed messages. Either stop dithering and pursue an inquiry IN EARNEST, including enforcing effing SUBPOENAS, or just shut the hell up and let the GOP criming roll on. I’m sick of the this mess.
Meta, I am feeling the same as you about this impeachment mess. I stop watching these town halls. I feel that some of these candidates are just jumping on the impeachment band wagon to move up in the polls.
I still trust Pelosi and don’t want the entire thing to fall apart in our haste to impeach just because we’re panicking. Obama has taught me that and she worked closely with him for 8 years, so everytime I am screaming inside “just impeach already”, I am reminded of that saying “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Donald Trump will lose and end up in jail, I really believe that.

Call me crazy, but relating to the stuff that’s getting out, I think Nancy Pelosi wanted it to. She doesn’t have to go to any deniability status, if questioned, and can just wave off reporters with her hand. But the stuff’s still out. I think she’s playing chess, and most others are playing with LEGOs.
This story deserves a lot more attention: U.S. border officials are forcing migrants to give up their medications to treat conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. An 8-year-old boy had his seizure medicine taken away from him. #Heartlesshttps://t.co/vchEVFwkSS

It’ll be the largest rally in history to remove a President from office.
I really hope so Bobfr. I am sooooooooooooo sick this predator!!
It sickens me to think that taxpayers paid for the entire family of grifters to go on this trip.
Just another image of people displaying class and not making it look as though it were painted on.
