GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections β€” a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump has now deleted the post, with the White House now claiming, "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down."

Karoline Leavitt a few hours ago:

"Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

Trump posts video that depicts Obamas as apes Republican Sen. Tim Scott called it β€œthe most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

We're not even a week into Black History Month, and Trump has shared a video that depicts former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott called it β€œthe most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid" We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

Hitlergate wasn't "kids"β€”it was 20- and 30-something GOP flacks.

I think today has been a massive success by the organizers and it needs no defending on the merits and any leftists who would seek to downplay it have demonstrated once again how they're completely useless by choice in this moment.

Redistricting Becomes Trump’s Obvious Ploy to Rig the 2026 Elections | Marc Elias
YouTube video by Democracy Docket Redistricting Becomes Trump’s Obvious Ploy to Rig the 2026 Elections | Marc Elias

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

Call ☎️ (202) 224-3121 and say something like this

β€œHi, I’m calling to ask Senator [NAME] to vote NO on the nomination of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s shown he doesn’t respect court orders, and that disqualifies him from being a judge. Thank you.”

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."
