Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act Contact Congress today!

Susan Collins has apparently decided to give Republicans the votes needed to pass the SAVE Act. This is a three-alarm emergency. We must act swiftly.

Tell every Senator right now we absolutely cannot let this pass:

Majorities in the Senate and the House voted to overturn Trumpโ€™s tariffs on Canada โ€“ and most Americans disapprove of them too.

Trump should listen to Congress and the American people and sign the resolution to revoke these cost-raising tariffs.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, thatโ€™s what democracy is aboutโ€”we argue it out. We donโ€™t throw people who disagree in jail. We donโ€™t intimidate the media. We donโ€™t send ICE agents to shoot people.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

If weโ€™re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.

We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save America from fascism.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโ€™s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Florida House nixes DeSantis priorities in budget plan The House budget comes in at about $4 billion less than the governorโ€™s final, proposed spending plan.

In a major rebuke of Ron DeSantis, the Florida Houseโ€™s budget for 2026-27 slashes the fund DeSantis used for immigration enforcement, including the building of Alligator Alcatraz, the Everglades immigration detention facility.

Somebody tell Trump that Russia does not want to 'do a deal'. It wants world domination and it is a fascist dictatorship.

Hi friends,

As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement โ€” this is terror and an abuse of power.

So two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, a guy who couldn't get security clearance but was able to get $2 billion from Saudi Arabia? And the content of the report is so sensitive that it can't be made public?

Seems like Jared's dad may not wind up being the only felon in the family.

There needs to be a class action suit against RFK, Jr., NIH, and Donald Trump for endangering the lives of Americans with their kooky, unscientific negligence.

Merz:

Russia's GDP currently amounts to about โ‚ฌ2 trillion.That of the EU is almost ten times as high.And yet today,Europe is not ten times stronger than Russia

Our military,political,economic and technological potential is enormous. But we are still far from exploiting it to the extent necessary

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

This is so embarrassing.

The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to beโ€ฆ party balloons.

This administration is so incompetent.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

Hey there Pam Bondi if you have nothing to hide why were you tracking what congressmen were searching on the Epstein files?

Why uhโ€ฆ. Whyโ€ฆ. Why so nervous?

YouTube video by Katie Phang Yikes! Congress SLAMS AG Bondi Over Hearing MELTDOWN

@ross.house.gov reminded AG Pam Bondi that her job is to answer questions that Americans want answered.

She joins me for a debrief on Bondiโ€™s meltdown, as well as why we need to pay attention to the GOPโ€™s attempts to disenfranchise voters through the updated SAVE Act.

AOC on Bondi: โ€œThe redactions of the names of perpetrators, the holding of 3 million files, the unexplained moving of Maxwell into a new cushy facilityโ€”

All of these things are what she personally oversaw, & thatโ€™s before even digging into whatever questions may arise from her history in Floridaโ€

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
