Homepage | Vote Save America Vote Save America is the one-stop shop for everything you need to get informed, get involved, and get out the vote in the most important election of our lifetime.

It should enrage all of us, but it should also motivate us to beat the everliving hell out of every last Republican politician in β€˜26 and again β€˜28.

Donald Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since January, but Republicans cared more about making him happy than they did about the people who sent them to Washington to make their lives better.

They don’t deserve this cruelty. No one does. Especially not in the richest country on Earth, where people with the most power just used it to make themselves even richer.

β€œWell, that’s what they voted for.β€œ

β€œThey should’ve known better.”

Sure, maybe. But the brunt of the pain will be felt by babies, kids, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, people who are barely making it, people who fled danger to save their children.

So, shitty day!

I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today.

Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them.

The 3.5% Protest Rule That Could Bring Down Trump | Crooked Media

This is even more hopeful than you might think - on today’s very timely @podsaveamerica.crooked.com, I talk to @chenoweth.bsky.social about their 3.5% rule - the finding that nonviolent protest movements haven’t failed when 3.5% of the country is engaged.

One of the best convos I’ve had this year

Totally agree on messaging and incentives, but this is a book about the Democratic Party and much of it I know is true because of my own experiences and conversations. So I think it’s useful not for looking but for what comes next

I check in here a few times a week, and genuinely want to be on here more, but 90% of my mentions are usually complaints that I haven’t passed someone’s purity test. It’s wild.

Dems: Who’s our liberal Joe Rogan?

Also Dems: How dare you platform journalists who’ve written a deeply reported book that makes some Biden supporters uncomfortable?

β€œThis is so that people making over $1 million… can get a $90,000 average tax cut.” β€” @jonfavs.bsky.social

Republicans in Congress want to cut Medicaid, raise health costs, and take food from kidsβ€”all to give millionaires and billionaires a tax break.

We won't let them. #ProtectMedicaid

"Just because they released him, don't let this one go away. Go demand answers and do it in a big group." - Pod Save America co-host @jonfavs.bsky.social urges NJ dems to keep pressure on Newark ICE facility.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
