The SAVE Act would require Americans nationwide to provide a passport or birth certificate with their current legal name IN PERSON to register to vote or update their registration.
HERE'S WHY THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM

โ€ข 69 million women don't have a birth certificate with their current name.
โ€ข 146 million Americans do not have a passport.

โ€œA dictatorship [today] doesnโ€™t come with tanks in the streets, it comes with phalanxes of lawyers and compliant courts,โ€ said Kim Lane Scheppele, a Princeton University sociologist who has long studied the rise of autocracies around the world. โ€œItโ€™s all done legally, and itโ€™s all done bloodlessly.โ€

Trump has said that he wonโ€™t rule out seeking a third term in the White House โ€” even though this is explicitly blocked by the Amendment.

But make no mistake: this is all part of Trump's bigger plan to usher in a dictatorship. Watch. youtu.be/WSxJRIiCNs8?...

Why Is Elon Musk Trying to Buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court Seat? Tuesdayโ€™s election, as the only statewide race in the country before November, is a crucial test for the growing backlash against the Trump Administrationโ€™s agenda.

The race for an open seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court โ€œis now a proxy battle for whether the American government at every level can be bought by oligarchs,โ€ Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, said.

The Science Brain Drain How Trump's Cuts Are Crippling American Innovation and Ceding the Future

The Trump administrationโ€™s war on science is slashing funding, shutting down labs, and driving top researchers overseas. The cost? Medical breakthroughs, technological innovation, and Americaโ€™s future. My latest

This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committeeโ€”the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

The Garland v. VanDerStok case was an attempt by the gun lobby to cut the kneeโ€™s out from under the ATF, and limit its ability to regulate ghost guns, helping protect gun industry profits at the cost of human lives.

SCOTUS' decision to uphold ghost gun regulations is a win for public safety.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Trump's attack on the American mind Behind his closure of the Education Department and his assault on higher education, science, libraries, and museums lie the oligarchs of the techno-state.

Today, Trump is dismantling much of the Department of Education. He has ordered wrestling executive-turned-Education Secretary Linda McMahon to shut most of her department.

But thereโ€™s a much larger story here. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-att...

Trump is so utterly compromised that it beggars belief that the security apparatus turned a blind eye when he turned up as a presidential candidate. Not once but twice. The rot runs deep.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldnโ€™t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
