Think about students, renters, women who changed their names, and rural voters without easy access to records. The SAVE ACT makes them prove citizenship with specific documents or lose their voice. The people already on the margins get pushed out completely. #sheshed

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Adding to @hcrichardson.bsky.social excellent comments on the topic, @muellershewrote.com notes the extraordinary cost of this name change. As a veteran I would love to see expanded rural VA healthcare or better housing for active duty. But nope. Millions for name changes. The irony….
Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

"I don't like my blood results so I'm going to fire my internist," said no sane person ever.
So why would we accept such buffoonery from the President of the United States.
The jobs report is the jobs report. Period.

Scty RFK, Jr. just grossly misrepresented findings of new CDC report about prevalence of autism in U.S., claiming we have a new “autism epidemic”.
Actual scientists beg to differ, saying that increase in cases reported reflects better diagnosis - not more disease!
Why is he Scty of HHS? Why?

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative.

What if Democratic state legislatures required the reading of The Diary of Anne Frank & Schindler's Ark(the book Schindler's list was based on & other books about the Holocaust & concentration camps for every grade 6-12? It's kind of a national emergency, don't you think? Also 1984 & Animal Farm!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has recovered over $21 billion for consumers, saves $6.1 billion annually in bank fees, tackles credit report errors and resolves millions of complaints—all on a $650M annual budget. That’s money well spent.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a graphic that encapsulates the MAGA movement more precisely. When will MAGA voters realize that MAGA politicians and their billionaire backers don’t give a shit about them, all they do is fleece you fools and build walls to keep you out of their country clubs.
