If the SAVE Act becomes law and it disenfranchises millions of American women, can we somehow file a class action lawsuit? I am now going through the process of trying to put together a trail showing my name changes and it has been hell trying to get old documents. Some are in county basements.

I thought there were laws against monetizing the office of POTUS.

In responding to a post on Twitter, I keep getting those pop ups claiming it is an automated message. What terms am I trying to use? Racial justice or racial injustice.

They've never cared about workers. That's why they try so hard to bust the unions. I have no idea why blue collar Americans voted for this.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.

Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

I actually saw a few MAGA accounts today saying that Europe has been the problem all along. All I could think was... WHAT??? My God, what is happening in this country? Can you imagine what the greatest generation would be saying right now? Their sacrifices are being made meaningless.

Every day, I wake up and check to see what fresh hell Trump/Musk have unleashed upon our country. My father was a Republican and the most ethical guy I've ever known. He would be crushed to see what his party has become. As a veteran, he would be fighting back.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority.

In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Mexico refuses to accept a U.S. deportation flight The Mexican government has criticized President Donald Trump's unilateral immigration actions, and the landing would have required Mexico's assistance.

It should be obvious, but doesn’t seem widely understood that the US can’t unilaterally deport people. It needs a deportation agreement with another country. This gives those countries a degree of leverage over the US if they simply refuse, as Mexico just did.

Congratulations! I will be a grandma for the second time in a few months. It is also a little girl. There is no finer position in the world than that of a grandparent. You've lamented the loss of those cute little kids you used to have running around and now you get to do it all over again ❀️

1. Start a program to provide battered women with a year's rent, a usable vehicle, food/clothing, and childcare for a year so they could start to rebuild their lives.
2. Build mobile shower units to service homeless areas.
3. Build a really cool drive-in theater. There are none in my area anymore.

Here we sit in central Minnesota, without a flake of snow on the ground. It's been cold (just below zero) but not unbearably so. Our youngest son is still wearing his shorts, but we've had to drive our oldest son to and from work. He rides a bike as long as it's above 10 degrees.

Absolutely incorrect. Tariffs are paid by the company importing the product/material. In this case, the tariffs would be paid by the US companies. They will then pass the cost on to the US consumers. If there is a $40k car that is hit by a 25% tariff, it will now cost you $50k. Congratulations.

You are failing to understand that many "American" products are made from imported components. When those raw materials are hit with tariffs, the cost will still be passed on to you, even if the final product was built in the US.
