Opposition to Cong. Byron Donalds in my hometown of Bonita Springs, FL, as he launches his bid for Governor. About 100 peaceful but energetic protestors across from the venue. NOT “astroturf,” his dismissive word alleging that opposition would be bussed in and fake. Nope. Local voters. Unpaid.

Donald Trump's executive order would make it harder for millions to register to vote, would disenfranchise voters Trump doesn't like, and give power to election deniers to overturn elections they don't win. This is the greatest threat to democracy right now and it must be stopped.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.
