Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The SAVE act also forces states to submit their voter registration lists to the DHS! I know we’ve been focused on voter ID but that’s only the tip of the iceberg !

The government has time to defend an ICE shooting on TV, but not to answer the Good family’s letters to preserve evidence in Renee’s killing. No outreach, no accountability, and reported talk of investigating her grieving wife instead. That’s how authoritarian systems treat state violence.
Lawyer for Renee Good's family: There has been no outreach at all from the United States government to the Renee Good family. We have asked for the government to preserve all the evidence in this case. They are not responding to us.

There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.

The SAVE Act is another GOP "solution" in search of a problem. The GOP has for many decades pushed voter suppression nationally and at the state level. The bill has passed the House. We must now mobilize to keep it from passing the Senate.
This is urgent.

I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.
