BREAKING: The latest version of the GOP’s “Save America Act” would require that all 50 states give our voter data to Trump’s DHS. Are we supposed to just “trust” that Trump’s people won’t then give our data to Palantir (Peter Thiel)? Call your Senators: 202-224-3121 #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotes

So Eric Trump is now investing in an Israeli drone company while his brother Don Jr. is on the board of another American drone company that receives Pentagon contracts.

The corruption is endless.

You’re on social media, so this should concern you.

The U.S. government has been asking platforms like Meta for user data.

You don’t have to be paranoid to see the problem. You just have to be paying attention. If you’re online, this includes you.

Over 8000 attorneys, paralegals, and staff members have quit the DOJ, many with very public statements. Is this the law and order that republicans were talking about? We’re destroying every agency and institution to protect a bunch of rich pedophiles.

😳 Texas is one of the states that is already using the DHS’s “Save” voter purge system. The Act would require that every state use it. The system has already demonstrated an error rate as high as 14%. It links to an SSA database compromised by DOGE. #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotes 1/
Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!

I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.

Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

The ones telling you not to criticize Newsom are the ones engaging in purity politics.

We don’t have to support every candidate with a D next to their name. Many of them are terrible.

In a democracy, we ask questions, we criticize. If necessary, we destroy.

It’s called a primary.

Game on.

You guys, we keep trying to warn you that Gavin is not our guy. He's already sold out, and he will always disappoint and side with the billionaires when it matters most.
Worse, it's really SMART.
When/if Trump gets knocked out of power, the tech billionaires behind him will still keep theirs. Because they are also bankrolling Trump's opposition. In early 2026, they have the California Democratic Party on retainer.

HUGE no on this. Make your phone calls.

They are trying to use the SAVE Act to do an end run around court rulings blocking them from accessing state voter rolls:

Let me tell you about the SAVE Act. You need to know about it.

It’s Trump’s first (of likely many) major attempt to rig the election in his favor. It takes away the right to vote for millions and allows your voting records to be erased. We cannot let it pass the Senate.

Eliminate the cap. Or at least raise it by a whole lot. Social Security will be fine and so will our seniors.
If the ultra-rich paid their fair share, we could not only afford Social Security, but also afford to increase it.

We’re estimating 38B for Trump’s massive new detention centers. That’s not securing a border. That’s rapidly building an industrial scale detention system. History shows that the larger the detention infrastructure, the easier it becomes to repurpose. So, what are we building?
