With the help of four Democrats, House Republicans just voted to pass H.R. 22 — one of the biggest threats to voting rights that we’ve seen in a generation. If you’re represented by Reps. Case (HI-01), Cuellar (TX-28), Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), or Golden (ME-02), they need to hear from you today.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country. Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.

🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%. Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

President Trump largely abandoned his trade war against the world today, claiming victory in the crisis of his own creation. Colorado's @bennet.senate.gov (D) predicted it yesterday. #copolitics www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM56...

"It is important to understand that there is no—none, zero—practical reason to imprison an American citizen abroad....The only reason America would need to use foreign prisons would be to get around the American legal system." And Trump has expressed interest in doing just that.

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later. Nothing to see here.

"While there are countless concerns that engaged citizens may have about a massive range of policy issues, for the moment our attention needs to be focused on just one thing. We either stop Donald Trump and MAGA and America survives or we do not, and America as we know it dies."

Yep, it's rough watching everyone from late night hosts to lightweight tech YouTubers explain the still dangerous effects & likely intents of this erratic policy both more honestly & accessibly than news outlets. Since Colbert explains how 125% tariffs on China are a systematic risk, CNN should too.
