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.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulโ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Mimes Directing Traffic in Bogotรก Had Surprisingly Loud Impacts
Behavioral scientists applaud a quiet yet theatrical shift in societal thinking.
