NEW from my CAP colleague @gbedekovics.bsky.social: The SAVE Act's in-person document requirement hurts rural Americans the most. Folks in many large & rural counties would need to drive an average of 4.5 hours roundtrip to get to an election office, with some having to drive 8—eight!!—hours.

So now Fox Business is preparing their viewers for "a bit of temporary pain" amid Trump-Musk's DOGE cuts, saying that "people forget that when [Ronald Reagan] came into office in 1981, he slashed federal head count and put the economy back into the double dip recession of 1980 and 1981."

Last time Trump was president, we passed the farm bill without any meaningful cuts to SNAP. A true win for organizers and advocates. This time, they're gunning for a 20+% cut to SNAP, leaving benefits down at a meager $1.60 per person per meal on average.

We still have the Affordable Care Act in large part because people kept the pressure on their Republican electeds when they were in charge even though it seemed useless to many to call someone like Concerned Susan Collins or McCain. The idea that your calls don’t matter simply is not true
