Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra.

This is two pages from a memorandum put out by the US Attorney General. You can find it on here: www.justice.gov/ag/media/138...
Read the highlighted portion on page two. Essentially states that people who are here illegally can be put to death in the last sentence.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

The SAVE Act would require Americans to prove their citizenship when registering or updating their voter registration, using a passport or birth certificate. However, >140 million citizens don’t have a passport and up to 69 million married women do not have a birth certificate with their legal name.
The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

Two years ago today I signed a bill making Minnesota the first state to codify abortion rights after the fall of Roe v. Wade.
Politicians across the nation turned back the clock on reproductive rights. But here in Minnesota, we trust people to make their own decisions.
