In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump isn't a president. He's a White House squatter looking to fill his pockets and the pockets of those who do the filling. The Convicted Felon doesn't GAF about the environment or people's health.

The ONLY REASON the Save Act exists is so Republicans can SUPPRESS VOTERS.
NOT ILLEGALS.
This will actually SUPPRESS ACTUAL AMERICAN VOTES.
Republicans WANT THIS, because they want to guarantee power via WHITE MALE VOTES

My new report found personal bankruptcies are now at the highest level since 2019, the last time Trump was president.

For decades, public libraries have been authorized passport acceptance sites.
It’s convenient, it’s secure, and it brings in critical revenue to support library resources.
