The SAVE Act blocks voting by demanding passports or birth certificates that over 21 million Americans do not have ready access to. Women, seniors, students, and low income voters pay the price.

Democrats like ICE, so they don't know what to do right now. Every single person in 2026 that isn't screaming with their whole chest a call to abolish ICE needs to never serve in an elected role ever again. These dinosaurs are enabling, compromising, even collaborating openly with fascism.
Seeing this insane ICE violence in Saint Paul, and I’m wondering where Betty McCollum is. Just the most absent congressperson of all time. Hardly any communication about what’s happening to her constituent. Not built for the moment.
