The SAVE Act threatens to disenfranchise millions with strict in-person requirements for voter registration. This will disproportionately impact service members and civilians abroad in exercising their right to vote. Go to 5calls.org to find your reps and tell them to vote NO on this bill. #SAVEAct

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Stay tuned this week for updates from us on what you can do to help stop this from passing. In addition to the ID element, it requires everyone to register in person, disenfranchising a LOT of voters including those of us abroad. #stoptheSAVEact

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

One of the truly great resignation letters of all time. Emil Bove is engaging in unethical and likely even criminal conduct at the highest levels of DOJ. This is a time for all men and women of principle to stand up while so many in the GOP remain silent. AUSA Scotten is a hero.

RFK Jr. will not make America healthy again. But his ignorance may make people sick again. Deprive them of the treatment they need again. Cause hospitals to close again. We have to vote like our lives depend on it. Because for many Americans – it will.

ICE raids in schools, hospitals, and churches are turning places of learning, healing, and worship into places of fear and suffering. Our Protecting Sensitive Locations Act would ban ICE from conducting enforcement actions from within 1000 feet of these sacred spaces.

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

Pro tip: when explaining the NIH cuts to friends and family, use "research infrastructure" rather than "indirect costs" or, godforbid, "overhead." DOGE just slashed the budget for research infrastructure. It's accurate and it drives home that the fight is over jobs and facilities, not "waste."

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...
