The "Save America Act" is voter suppression dressed up as patriotism. It targets naturalized citizens, trans Americans, tribal citizens, and natural disaster victims with extra barriers. Don't let the name fool you.

His employment numbers are bad because he cut hundreds of thousands of jobs, see, but it's OK because all of those people who lost their jobs now have private sector jobs that are paying better, but apparently we don't count those in the employment numbers?

🤯 Wow! There are rumors that Republican Neal Dunn will resign from Congress immediately, leaving Republicans without a 218 seat majority.

FL-02 only voted for Trump by +18, so a special election here would put the seat in play for Democrats.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...
