New: Chris Rufo & his co-host devoted podcast to "The Indian Question," framing Desi people as a problem to be solved. Their "solution?" Expulsion. For those allowed to remain: an “assimilation hazing process” w/ instances of “vulgar, defamatory racism" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/c…

>> @tonydokoupil: "So much is going on in the country, with prices, with war in Iran, with wildfire smoke — people can hardly breathe across multiple states at this hour — and the president is drawing the nation's attention once again to this subject. Why?"

Reminder:
To create thousands of fake voters, you'd need to first create thousands of fake social security entries.
And you'd need to create fake residences, where the mail wouldn't go undeliverable.
Then you'd need to create fake identification for these people to show up and vote.
AND
There would be a record of all of these fake voters, with full name, DOB, and address. You'd be able to point to specific entries.
Because whether or not you registered, and whether or not you voted, is a public record.

There’s a lot to this alleged claim. Former officials claim, as Reuters reported today, that at there were previous debates about China and voter data. The thinking was that China likely purchased the voter data, which is publicly available online. There was no evidence China changed details of that data at scale or that it changed the vote, officials say.
BREAKING via @CBSNews: Part of Trump's speech Thursday night will touch on previously unreported Chinese meddling in U.S. elections, sources told me. Some evidence shows Beijing compromised U.S. voter data -- and evidence the CIA knew about the action and didn't share that information with Trump during his first term, per sources.
Cabinet officials are expected to be in the audience during his remarks.
Among those invited are the heads of CIA, FBI, ODNI and DHS, as well as other agencies and staff. Some cabinet members will not be there due to scheduling conflicts, I'm told.

Washington Post editorial board weighs in on LA mayoral race and inaccurately asserts a talking point that has been bandied about X over the last week: that Nithya Raman conceded on election night. That didn’t happen.
