Donald Trump told Congress that voting was a privilege. My life's work is defending voting as a fundamental right.

Signal is a great, private secure app. I could create a private group chat for Posties. Is there an interest in one?

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

BREAKING: The Florida House of Representatives voted to advance a sweeping voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise tens of thousands of state voters.
The move comes two weeks after the U.S. House passed the GOP-led SAVE America Act, which the measure closely mirrors.
Dr Oz, with Vance standing behind him, announces that "we're going to for the first time take a massive action to defer funds to a state," then details they are defending $259m of funding for Medicaid programs in Minnesota that take care of pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities

Donald Trump and his lackeys will be held responsible for the violence and damage theyβve done to our nation β and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure of it.

I'm honored to have earned the support of these local leaders, who have seen me fight for Illinoisans and deliver real change for our communities.
5 years ago, the House passed the #EqualityAct to include protections for LGBTQI+ people in federal law. Unfortunately, it was blocked in the Senate. But the fight continues! I'm committed to seeing this bill become law so that EVERY American can have a fair shot at success, no matter who they love.
