The SAVE Act, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), mandates in-person proof of citizenship to register to vote. Since 8 in 10 married women change their surnames, up to 69 million could face barriers due to mismatched documents and vague procedures for verifying name changes.

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Brian Schatz is BLOCKING over 300 Trump admin nominations by refusing to let them pass with unanimous consent. "I don't think we should make anything easy going forward,” he said. BLOCK THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! MORE OF THIS!

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

We are always told that we can’t raise wages because “it will cause everything to get more expensive,” but then they let Trump implement tariffs that will cause everything to get more expensive. The price of everything always goes up except the price of our labor.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

Others have tried to capture the economic effects of the tariff bomb. Here’s another: Trump has destroyed US diplomacy. Forget the liberal international order. US diplomacy as we knew it is over. Thread: 1/

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration? Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. This is why you always follow the money.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Trump's attacks on the universities aren't happening in a vacuum. The context— - retaliating against law firms; - bullying media organizations; - taking over cultural institutions; - illegal deportations —if these are the trees, we can call the forest what it is: Trump’s authoritarian power grab.

Tactically, this seems like a fantastic time for institutions (law firms, universities) and individuals (Repubs in Congress) who want to stand up to Trump. He's openly cratering the economy, the weakness of Elon's ability to buy elections was just revealed in Wisconsin. The emperor has no clothes.
