New Hampshire made first-time voters produce a passport or go home. A judge threw it out this week. The SAVE Act does it to all fifty states at once. Tell Congress no: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Guys, it’s been more than 5 weeks. If Mitch McConnell can’t personally provide a proper and believable health update, he has to be removed. This is absurd.

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

Governor Beshear... Get in your car. Drive to the hospital. Demand to speak to the Senator. No more waffling, no more waiting for them to reply. "I see the Senator now, or I assume he's not coming back and call an election when I leave."

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. They want you to be apathetic. Don’t be. | Will Bunch
Salgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

Tesla & SpaceX have benefited from ~$40B in government subsidies. Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite $5.7B in income. SpaceX has paid little to nothing in taxes since it was founded. Now Elon is a trillionaire who has pumped over $300M into our elections. The vicious cycle.

Ian Bremmer: the world needs the strait of hormuz reopened. should have happened months ago, but today’s outcome is the best option available. 

having said that, iran war has been a disaster. no agreement on nukes, ballistic missiles, support for proxies…and one of the world’s most brutal regimes remains in place…and is getting paid off. 

biggest foreign policy failure of trump administration by a long margin.

Someday when Trump is finally convicted of his crimes, I’d like to suggest that one of his punishments is to take away his internet access. He should never be allowed to spew venom on social media again.

Why reschedule the WHCD? It’s a total farce anyway. Trump hates the press. He has no sense of humor. If it is rescheduled I hope the press stays home.

Interesting to me that Democratic leaders are fighting for ALL voters’ rights, not just their party’s. But more democrats hold passports than republicans. So the save act, should it pass, could backfire on the Felon. www.nbcnews.com/politics/mee...

One of the new goals of the far right is to make it harder for women to vote. The SAVE Act, which the Senate is debating now, would be a major vehicle to achieve that goal. Spread the word about why we need to stop SAVE. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Usha Vance, Karoline Leavitt and Katie Miller are all pregnant. How nice for them that they live in Washington DC, where no matter what horrible issues with their babies could happen, they’d get the healthcare they need. Including an abortion if it should become necessary. Hope they appreciate it.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.
