Intelligence community insiders have expressed alarm over Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s alleged connections to the Kremlin during a House Intelligence Committee hearing.

We Need to Fix Voting in America Now
Voting is a fundamental right in America, but our current system is deeply flawed. Many people face barriers to voting, such as long lines, restrictive ID laws, and limited early voting options. These obstacles disproportionately affect communities of color, low-income voters, and people with disabilities. As a result, millions of Americans are effectively denied their voice in our democracy.
To ensure that all Americans can participate fully in our elections, we need to fix our voting system now. We need to make it easier for people to register to vote, expand early voting options, and implement a universal vote-by-mail system. We also need to end voter suppression efforts like purging voter rolls and intimidation tactics.
These reforms are essential to creating a more equitable and inclusive democracy. By making it easier for people to vote, we can ensure that our elections reflect the will of the people, not just the privileged few.
