Simply fill out this ACLU form to tell Congress to reject "The SAVE Act" and its more extreme versions. These bills aren’t about safeguarding elections. They’re about silencing voters. We can't let these bills get any further: Protect our voting rights.

The SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act could keep millions of eligible U.S. citizens from being able to vote. Urge Congress to reject these bills.

🔥 Jon Ossoff didn’t mince words:

“Have you ever heard of a drug lord named Juan Orlando Hernández?”

Reminder: Hernández was convicted on US drug trafficking charges, he was tight with Trump who then pardoned him. Pretending to care about drugs!

Watch this. ⬇️

Pedo prez & his enablers want us to move on from the Epstein horror. But, we won’t. The world is watching, and other countries are taking action. We must too. Hold all those accountable who participated &/or covered this up.

tRump tripped over his own ignorance, blaming Gov. Wes Moore (MD) for something Moore has no control over. It’s tRump’s own EPA that has regulatory authority over the DC Water-owned pipe that burst & spilled millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River last month. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Trump’s latest offensive against Maryland’s Wes Moore comes with a clear subtext
The more the president fixates on the Democratic governor, the more it seems he’s scared of Moore’s political potential.
