For those that protested today (like I did), you saw lots of support from passersby. But of course, there are always a few “haters” that demonstrate their Trump love in various ways. With that in mind, I will be preparing the attached sign for the next “No Kings” rally!

Senate Republicans are spending their weekend lying about the SAVE Act and attacking the right to vote. If you want to know where this bill came from, what is does and why the GOP is so desperate to pass it, read what I wrote. Then share it with others. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.
As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.
