@momupdated @JoeBiden I'm not here to be helpful, I'm here to be accurate. And in that spirit you're right, he's changed his position and endorsed HR1. Deleted and updated to reflect that. — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

I pressed @JoeBiden on making Election Day a holiday. He didn't support it. "I worry about making it a national holiday. A national holiday, people leave. You follow me?" He's since endorsed HR1, now the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act, which would make Election Day a holiday. https://t.co/Gk0FWSOYh3 — PolitiTweet.org

I pressed @JoeBiden on making Election Day a national holiday. He didn't support the idea. "I worry about making it a national holiday. A national holiday, people leave. You follow me?" This was before SCOTUS gutted VRA in 2013. Has Biden changed his mind? Honestly don't know. https://t.co/EMg1mOFHJ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

I ran into @JoeBiden outside a Cosi in D.C. Asked him about election reform and why we vote on Tuesday. (There's no good reason.) He told me he supported full public financing of elections, voting machines with paper trails, but not weekend voting which he said they tried in DE. https://t.co/A1YCtUXtzW — PolitiTweet.org

Thread. Today is 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. 15 years ago, on 40th anniversary, @OfficialMLK3, @amband + @NormOrnstein founded @WhyTuesday. I joined them, launching a vlog to get POTUS candidates' plans to fix a still-broken system. First guy I ran into? @JoeBiden. https://t.co/QCWDQTh3LB — PolitiTweet.org

Trump admin can release these children and parents from COVID-infected ICE detention at any time during negotiations. Instead they’re keeping them locked up indefinitely. “It’s preposterous," a former ICE official told me over a week ago. "There’s no reason other than cruelty." — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

Trump admin saying “they do not believe any voluntary agreement can be reached” means there’s no consensus on what to do about 300+ kids and parents in COVID-infected ICE detention. What they *don’t* say is they have the option of unilaterally releasing the families together now. — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

Other goal was to hold migrant families indefinitely in ICE detention, which they’re doing, too, despite a judge’s order that the children should be released weeks ago and the Trump admin has the discretion to release them together *now* if they wanted. https://t.co/LIsaBwdI3v — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

On 6/20/18 Trump said “I didn’t like the sight or feeling of families being separated” as he signed EO “ending” separations. Goal was to force Congress to allow what admin is now doing, as I write in “Separated: Inside an American Tragedy.” Page 269. 📚: https://t.co/iBZwjE0pKP https://t.co/vMVrQSCLtK — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

Under the cover of COVID, the Trump admin is finally able to do what Katie Miller told me they hoped family separations would scare Congress into allowing back in 2018: immediately expel kids who arrive in the U.S. seeking asylum. Incredible reporting, as always, from @lomikriel. — PolitiTweet.org
