Republicans want to pass a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill — and we need to get loud to stop it: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...

Love, love, love Rebecca Solnit and this essay - especially the last sentence. "I wish you the fortress in comfort, the kinship in kindness, and the courage in encouragement, in both what you give and what you receive." I'm going to quote that often and everywhere and I'm wishing that now for you.

It's interesting how in the reporting of this on Washington Week, not one of the journalists, including the host mentioned that race might have been an issue

Wow. Good for Maine. Trump is the biggest effin' bully and hypocrite. "You better follow the law." Meanwhile laws don't apply to him because of right wing judges on the Supreme Court. #NoKings

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

The right-wing myth about how things work is that the federal government is full of waste and bloat and you could cut two-thirds of it and nobody would even notice.

When in doubt, tear it all down, see what breaks, assume you can repair it—maybe with AI? It’s the federal government; how hard can it be? This is incompetence born of self-confidence. It’s the certainty that if you’re smart at one thing you must be smart at all of the things.

Netanyahu just wants to kill more Palestinians and will look for any excuse. Western reporting only focuses on Israeli hostages and ignores Palestinian hostages held without charges in Israel. #stopthegenocide

I’ve seen some strong senators and governors getting vocal about the orange stain today. I think we will see much more pushback going forward. Even Pence stepped up to publicly reprimand Trump today. We need strong leaders.

Irony - President who has declared himself "King" calls elected President and War Hero Zelensky "A Dictator." King Trump admires Dictators like Putin and Orban, so maybe this is a compliment?

In San Diego, we should be playing "Where's Congressperson Peters instead of where's Waldo?" Did he send all his staff on vacation with him. Unable to even leave messages at either San Diego or DC offices. #SanDiego #ScottPetersMIA

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.
