I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying “idk what the big deal is about requiring id to vote”🤦🏽♀️ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!

Trump’s tariffs hit working families, not corporations. New research shows the average household paid $1,000 more last year—and it’s projected to rise to $1,300 by 2026.
That’s the biggest tax hike since 1993.

If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.
We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save America from fascism.

The NGOs that came up with the "bloody" Iranian protester death tolls are based in Washington, D.C. and NYC, and are funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which is a CIA cutout for funding regime change operations. Just saying. We know Qui Bono.

On this day, women first allowed to argue Supreme Court cases
On February 15, 1879, President Rutherford B. Hayes signed a new law that would admit women as members of the Supreme Court bar and allow them to submit and argue cases at the high court.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.
