DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

The Trump administration treats all Americans as if we are as stupid as MAGAs. Are we? This act is about creating the conditions for Trump to steal elections. It must be stopped.
House passes dangerous voter suppression act, calls it the “Save America” Act, which is a lie unless they’re trying to save America from democracy and fair elections.
You don’t have to use fancy tech to steal an election. You just have to suppress the vote that’s more likely to vote against you.
