The SAVE America Act isn’t saving anyone.
Congress should be expanding access to the ballot box—not restricting it. This bill could make it harder for millions of married women to vote if it passes. It’s voter suppression disguised in the name of election security.
I will be voting HELL no.

My dad has a 100% disability due to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. VA services have been slashed. My dad should not be abandoned by the VA after joining at 17, serving for 26 years of active duty. DOGE cuts are killing Vietnam Vets. DO SOMETHING!
Lies. I’ve been waiting 8 months for a dental appointment.

They call it the #SAVEAct, in reality its the Republican Voter Suppression Act, which imposes unreasonable impediments on the elderly, married women, the working poor, and the infirm to cast their ballots. Due to individual costs, it's essentially an unconstitutional poll tax.

2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).

Minnesota is home to fewer than 1% of undocumented workers. Trump is here because MINNESOTA NEVER VOTED FOR THE BLOATED TURD. Thank you for attending my TED talk.
I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

My husband retired from 22 years in Twin Cities law enforcement after the first Trump presidency. Watching ICE spray tear gas’s at the eyes and on the skin of protesters makes him furious. Deplorable behavior from ICE. What these officers are doing while enjoying immunity from prosecution is wrong.

Yesterday, ICE damaged multiple cars at the intersection of Western and Selby to detain a non-violent new American citizen. We are being made to accept an occupation. Trump hates my state.
Living in Minnesota right now is wondering if your patient is late because they got caught in traffic, because they got arrested, or because they got detained and all of these are perfectly plausible and equally likely.

DOJ are collecting search terms used to dive into the files against members of Congress. The Epstein Class have a separate justice system that accepts cash to participate in the rape of children. Surveillance state directed at the wrong group. Monitor sex criminals, Pam. Do your job!

A timeless beauty, Laura Dern is glorious! Love her so!
Happy Birthday Tidbit
Check out #LauraDern 's performance in everything 🔥
All I see from this is blue tomorrows.
One of these mornings, the sun's gonna come up and burn a hole clean through the planet like a giant electrical X-ray.
So, I guess it means that there is trouble until the robins come.

Raskin: To promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring. You still haven't with them.

It bears repeating how without incident border enforcement used to be. Let’s focus our steely gaze on the men listed in the Epstein illegally redacted file. Talk to Howard Lutnicks nanny ASAP. Dark days ahead

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.
