Hunter, like every trans person, has a right to accurate identification.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.
This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

First, #Elon fired the people that maintain our #NUCLEAR ARSENAL, then scrambled to hire them back;
But didn't have any way of contacting them when they cut off their government email.
Now, they have done the same with people who were fighting the #H1N1 #Birdflu.
How many times must we do this?

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

With 5 airplane crashes on his watch, Sean Duffy says DOGE will "UPGRADE" our aviation system.
Elon wants control of the planes.
If he controls the planes, he controls the flight logs.
That means anyone he favors can move anonymously, no records and no oversight.
It’s a power grab.

China was ready; they’re stepping in, expanding their influence, and building alliances with nations in need.
Foreign aid was less than 1% of the budget, but now #China is gaining ground, strengthening #BRICS while the U.S. loses power.
