BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Gore Verbinski tells us how his new movie ‘GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE’ presents a different kind of AI villain.
“I think we’ve seen Skynet, we’ve seen HAL 9000, we’ve seen the AI killing machine. [In our movie], it just wants us to like it. That’s what is really scary.”

Colin Allred: Don’t Ask for Our Votes and Disrespect Our Candidates
Former U.S. Representative Colin Allred of Texas pulls up a chair for a candid talk about what shaped him and what’s next. We trace his path from being raised by a single mom in Dallas to the NFL, civil rights law, and Congress. He reflects on brokering the donation of a hospital to the VA as proof that leadership isn’t just about votes and legislation. We also unpack what he learned from his 2024 Senate race and why he pivoted to a new House district. We close by calling out “electability” attacks and the elite commentary Texas doesn’t need.
