A House vote on the SAVE Act is imminent. If enacted, 69 MILLION married women would have a much harder time registering to vote bc their name doesn’t match their birth certificate. It shouldn’t be harder for women to vote than to their husbands…why do we even have to say that #HandsOffHerVote

NEW: @elfaroenglish.bsky.social identified a SECOND man sent to El Salvador and imprisoned who is married to a US citizen.
Jesús Ríos entered the US at a port of entry in 2023 seeking asylum. His wife started the green card process in January.
Like most sent to CECOT, he has no criminal record.

Fun fact: eight in ten married women have changed their surname which means they don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name.
Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act.
The GOP is trying to silence women across the country. #HandsOffHerVote

Go to visit Grandma? Upgrade the groceries?

Trump can’t figure out how to score a point on Russia or China, so he’s punishing our allies and kicking our own economy in the teeth.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

WOW. Rep. @jayapal.house.gov says CBP's internal affairs department found that a Chinese woman who had overstayed a visa was arrested by Border Patrol and hung herself in a cell. She wasn't found for two hours—even though the records reported multiple welfare checks (suggesting records falsified?).

The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
