Several of my Republican colleagues claim that the so-called “SAVE” Act won’t disenfranchise anyone. They’re lying. Here’s why: 🛂 Only HALF of U.S. citizens have a passport. 💍 Nearly 70 million married U.S. women can’t present a valid birth certificate. 💻 Online voter registration would disappear overnight. That’s MILLIONS of Americans who would lose their voices in our elections. That’s not democracy – that’s picking and choosing your voters.

BREAKING: Trump’s Education Dept. cancels grants that help students who are both deaf and blind. “How low can you go?” said one person who works with DeafBlind students and their families. In @propublica: propublica.org/article/trump-…

Tonight, Senate Republicans are changing the rules to push through 48 Trump nominees all at once and hoping you won't notice.

it should probably be a bigger story that most of the world has stopped shipping packages to the U.S. entirely because of Trump’s tariffs

These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official. It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.

Uh oh

There are only 33 people in America who make a billion dollars or more per year. Republicans are ready to explode the deficit, shutter hospitals and rob kids of food— So the top 0.00002% can get a tax cut they don’t need. Read that again.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

JD Vance was the deciding vote to cut Medicaid across the country. An absolute and utter betrayal of working families.

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

Can any conservative tell me why it's good to have sewage in the water

How did they convince you 150 million people are being lazy instead of 400 people being greedy? 🤔

Translation: “I’m taking your taxpayer dollars, using them to buy crypto that I’m already invested in, and making myself and my rich friends billions of dollars.”

In the last few days Elon -Ignored the mother of his youngest child begging for help -Ignored the mother of his favorite child begging for help -Called an astronaut a slur for pointing out something he said that was obviously a lie -Suggested bombing Mexico -Suggested women can never be qualified to be pilots -Called Tom Hanks a pedophile -Followed a 17 year old girl -Said journalists who criticize him should be imprisoned -Believed a TikTok sketch was real -Believed a picture from The Dark Knight Rises was real life

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. To pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

What is the rationale for this other than making life more difficult for many seniors?

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.
