Respect the right to vote: urge your representatives to vote NO to the new Jim Crow
The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.
Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.
Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

True.
Trump's racism should be no surprise.
His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination.
He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5.
He entered politics with the racist birther lie.
There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.

This is what oligarchy is about:
If you paid 1 penny in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Tesla - a $1.3 trillion company owned by Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, who became $460 billion richer since Election Day after spending $290 million to elect Trump.

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress "have allowed a hugely profitable corporation to avoid paying even a dime of federal income tax on their 2025 US profits."
On $5.7 Billion in Revenue in 2025, How Much Will Elon Musk's Tesla Pay in Federal Income Tax? $0
Elon Musk's Tesla raked in billions in profits, yet paid $0 in federal income tax in 2025. How is this fair? While hardworking Americans foot the bill, Tesla enjoys massive tax breaks. The system is broken, and it's time for change. #TaxFairness #TeslaTaxScandal #CorporateGreed

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

My Republican colleagues must take notice:
The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize.
This is pathetic.
It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

Breaking News: President Trump told Norway’s prime minister that one reason he’s pushing to acquire Greenland is because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Denied Peace Prize, Trump Tells Norway He’ll Push for Greenland
In a text message, President Trump told Norway’s prime minister he no longer felt obliged to “think purely of Peace” and that the world would not be secure until America controlled the island.
