Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

The anti-voter SAVE Act failed in Congress thanks to widespread opposition. Now, its proponents are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to enact a similar “show-your-papers” requirement for voting. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote?

I’m not telling anyone what to do, but Portland feels like it’s going it right. Dress up as inflatable animals and dance. Make them look and feel ridiculous for being there.
