Four days left to turn out voters in the most pivotal election of our lifetimes.

Plug in this weekend to the GOTV efforts of our incredible @OnwardTogether partners.

However you're turning out the vote for Biden-Harris over the next four days, thank you for doing it.

Future generations will ask what we did to affect the outcome of this pivotal election.

We need to be able to tell them we did all we could. Our democracy is on the line.

My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."

Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016."

"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."

Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”

My conclusion:
