Over 21 MILLION US citizens don't have easy access to the documents they would need to register and vote under the SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act isn't about safeguarding elections—it's about silencing voters.
Learn why this bill would be BAD for democracy:

What is the SAVE Act, and how would it block eligible US citizens from voting?
The SAVE Act will make it harder for eligible Americans to vote and increase the likelihood of being wrongfully purged from state voter rolls.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

And fun fact: Senator Thurmond would do filibusters to stop civil rights legislation. This is the opposite of that.

finance guys had elaborate theories about how Kamala would be bad for the economy because of extremely uncharitable interpretations of wonk-brained policies like an unrealized cap gains tax or anti price-gouging rhetoric
but then just refused to believe the tariff guy would do tariffs

The Wall Street guys make me so mad. They were not suffering before. It’s like they had a choice where they could have a million dollars or a million and one dollars at the risk of giving everyone on Earth chlamydia. Even with a tiny risk, the latter is selfish and dumb and this wasn’t tiny.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”
She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.
