The Republican-controlled House on Thursday voted for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — a bill that voting rights groups have repeatedly warned would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, to vote. (via @19thnews.org)

The SAVE Act doesn’t just suppress votes — it puts a price tag on them. Documents like a birth certificate, driver’s license, or court-ordered name change can cost anywhere from $15 to over $100, depending on where you live.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I’m seeing a lot of posts about downloading Kindle books by Feb. 26. Is the concern that access to books that are being banned will end? I don’t have a working Kindle… most of mine are through Audible. Do I need a USB, external hard drive, or something else to download via my pc? Any suggestions?

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity. I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking. Here are some of them:

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

This attack on our kids’ futures is wrong. That’s why on March 4, public school supporters will march to protect our kids & fight for the schools & funding they need. We should be investing in our kids & strengthening our public schools, not taking a hatchet to them. www.aft.org/column/prote...

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Listen, they can keep lying about USAID, but gutting the program is hurting the American Ag sector. That is the point though. Destroy American Ag to make way for other authoritarian countries to take over the market.

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself? I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.
