House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Again, there are no moderate Republicans. This is one of the most extreme voter disfranchisement bills in American history.
The House just passed the "SAVE America" voter suppression bill on party lines; Cuellar was the lone cross. This is going nowhere in the Senate.

2. The decision shows that FDA can't be trusted, because the FDA spelled out for Moderna exactly what it wanted in a drug submission. Moderna followed those instructions, and the FDA rejected the application anyhow without reviewing it. Goodbye US drug development.

Two females in their SUV, in a driveway, honked their horn when they saw ICE-holes cruising through to alert everybody. In response, they got assault rifles pointed in their faces, their window busted, and hauled away like they killed somebody.

"Although the judge noted numerous irregularities on Ice’s court documents, she ultimately sided with the agency."
Irish man has a work permit, US business, American wife, almost finished Green card application, and has paid a bond to be released. ICE, implausibly, claims he agreed to be deported.

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

My advice to folks outside of Minnesota is to start organizing NOW. Attend an ICE Watch training and bring three friends with you. Start volunteering at the orgs that you know will be crucial—like food pantries and PTOs.
