SAVE Act Would Undermine Voter Registration for All Americans Congress should reject this antidemocratic and ill-conceived bill.

Some 21 million Americans donโ€™t have ready access to a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers. And the SAVE Act would require these documents to register to vote.

These are the kind of letters people are receiving if they dare to question this administration.

We have a constitutional right and duty to speak up.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

A three-part strategy to respond to this crisis.
1. Fight back against the MAGA/DOGE assault on our country and hold all GOP politicians accountable.
2. Lift up Dems who are doing the right thing.
3. Win elections.

A chance to do #3 is coming in Wisconsin, 53 days from now.๐Ÿงต

Ten Things We Can All Do to Protect Democracy From Marc | The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy.

1. Stay engaged

When all the news is about Trump and pardons and lies, it is easy to want to retreat and stop paying attention. Donโ€™t. It is precisely when things are hard that we must all lean into remaining vigilant and informed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Jeffries: The constitution requires the president has the responsibility to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Spending agreements passed through the appropriations process are law. When those laws are violated, the constitution has been violated.

I'm an ~extremely~ nervous flyer, and I knew that I would (eventually) become even more nervous about flying as the Trump admin undermined the regulatory state & administrators.

I ... didn't realize that would already be happening the second week of the admin.

There are lots of legitimate things to be concerned about when it comes to the health and wellbeing of our families, and Dems should talk about those things - but RFK jr is not the answer. Heโ€™s either dumb or a liar abt the most basic science and is looking to make money off those lies
