The Save Act would actually require every single person to bring their birth certificate or passport to register to vote AND to vote, and how many people know where their birth certificate is? Women who've changed their name. Need to go and purchase a $165 dollar passport to vote?

Federal law says you MUST carry your immigration documents at all times.

So what happens when ICE takes them and won't give them back? You're trapped.

Legally required to carry papers that the government is holding hostage.

This is happening right now in Minnesota, and it's spreading.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

The whole process of granting refugee status to white South Africans has been deeply corrupted. Basic processes involving the validity of their claims were essentially scrapped early on, according to former State Department sources who talked to us:

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

DOJ to Review Whether Epstein Files About Trump Were Improperly Withheld The Justice Department didn’t release notes from several interviews a woman gave to FBI agents in 2019.

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child

Trump Stole Our Money And we want it back.

It is bad enough that Trump keeps concocting ways to pick out pockets; worse, he won’t return the money already snatched, despite the Supreme Court striking down the IEEPA tariffs. Bessent lied when he told CNN that tariff refunds are β€œnot up to the administration, it is up to the lower court.”

Voting is every American citizen's RIGHT, not a 'privilege.'

The SAVE Act is voter suppression.

Requiring voters to change birth certificates to match current names or apply for passports is a huge logistical, financial, and administrative burden for people across America, working mothers, the elderly and people with disabilities, military, low-income, and rural voters. #SOTU #SOTU2026

Public Service Announcement: The U.S. government is demanding that an AI company loosen its safety protocols so its technology can be used for mass surveillance of U.S. civilians. That is the core dispute now unfolding between the Department of Defense

Not that anybody asked, but…

The first 13 months of Biden’s term, the stock market rose 12%, setting a record high closing of 11 times.

The first 13 months of Trump’s second term, the market rose 10%, setting a record high closing of 10 times.

The Perfect Storm When warnings are everywhere, and still no one moves

"The left argued while the right marched in step."

THIS is why I have a zero tolerance timeline for equivocators and bad-faith actors when our Democracy is on the line.

A reminder that fake voter fraud and false claims of election rigging were always the plan. Here’s a direct message from Assange to Don Jr way back in 2016.

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Why?

There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

To those angry about Muslims praying in Times Square because "Mamdani is Mayor,"β€”this is the FIFTH year Muslims have done so. The first year was under Mayor Adams in 2022.

So quit hiding behind your fake outrage & own up to your Islamophobic bigotry. ORβ€”just drop the hate & be a decent human being.

So a bunch of disgusting people who wanted to rape and hurt children were allowed through wealth and privilege to weaken laws protecting us and fuck with cultures all over the world to make everything less safe for girls and women.

Roald Dahl's Letter About Losing his Daughter in 1962 " there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. "

Yeah, I think it needed a clearer explanation from the outset. Roald Dahl's daughter famously did die of measles (before the vaccine was available) and he wrote a letter encouraging people to get their kids vaccinated.

For the umpteenth time: This is what America looks like without a Congress. And this is what America looks like when one of our two major political parties has become an authoritarian-embracing cult.πŸ‘‡

FBI, St. Paul police probing ICE arrest that resulted in skull fractures Minnesota and federal authorities are investigating claims that immigration officers shattered a Mexican man's skull while taking him into custody last month.

ICE agents wrested Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n from his vehicle, threw him to the ground and repeatedly struck him in the head with a steel batonβ€”they said β€œhe fell and hit his head against a concrete wall.”
Doctor saysβ€”fractures to his skull are inconsistent with a fall.
