The SAVE Act is billed as election protection, but its proponents have revealed their true intentions time after time. They want to choose their voters instead of being accountable to "we the people".
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

Sen. Warnock on the SAVE Act: In the words of the administration itself, "we just want to make sure the right people are voting." That was the argument in the 1960s. I don't believe in the right people, I believe in we the people. Every American citizen must have access, it is a right.

DOJ isn’t hiding behind the Epstein transparency law, they’re ignoring it. Rep. Khanna, who wrote the bill, calls it “blatant non-compliance”. Bondi was subpoenaed, met with lawmakers yesterday, and refused to commit to complying. 2.5 million documents remain in the dark.

Offering access to the president in exchange for buying his meme coin? There’s far more than ONE problem with this.

The so-called SAVE Act fits a familiar pattern: democratic expansions that create a more inclusive democracy are followed by backlash. Our colleagues explain the cycle—and what it means for the right to vote today: contrariannews.org/p/every-expans…

What could go wrong? A $220M contract to supply ICE with tasers. A publicly traded company that lobbied hard for said contract. More weapons to untrained ICE agents. One again, the elite are trampling democracy and writing the rules. notus.org/immigration/ta…

In his SOTU, the president attacked voting rights. He's still trying to re-litigate 2020. And now he reportedly wants to bypass Congress to unilaterally rewrite election rules. Give it a rest. We the people deserve better.

Watch closely. Every action—seizing ballots, demanding voter rolls, threatening ICE at the polls & now floating unilateral power over elections—is a desperate attempt to silence voters. Public & legal pushback are our best defenses against Trump's authoritarian agenda.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Exclusive: Pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, proposing a national emergency to expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines. wapo.st/3OBux9y

Senator Alex Padilla@SenAlexPadilla

Trump has made no secret of his plans to meddle with our democracy in the upcoming elections. I'm hosting election leaders to organize on pushing back against the Administration’s continued attacks on states’ elections and the right to vote. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Trump "joked" that he couldn't give the Congressional Medal of Honor to himself... he's more concerned with monuments to self than addressing the needs of ordinary people.

Every day we are witness to the unimaginable from the White House—from conflicts of interests to constitutional violations, brazen grift & racist memes. It will take critical mass to let elected officials know enough is enough. No one is above the law. youtu.be/84BuK29LoRk
