The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.
The Christian Nationalist Plot to Disenfranchise Women Voters
The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls.

Elmo reminds me of Harold Lauder in Stephen King's "The Stand." You know, the gawky little geek who wanted Franny so bad, he decided to burn down the world to get even? At least Harold redeemed himself at the end. Elmo won't.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

I'm worried about my undocumented students who may be seized and disappeared, I'm worried about my civil servant friends who may lose their jobs, I'm worried about not getting vaccines, I'm worried about trans friends who can't get basic healthcare. But yeah, sure, Chuck, tomatoes, too.
You’re worried about tomato prices.
Wait till Trump’s Mexico tariffs raise your tomato prices.

This is a really big deal y’all.
They’re letting the Oligarchs email and direct our federal employees at their work.
I knew they cared nothing for any laws or norms, but I’m still shocked by how far and how fast this is going totally authoritarian.

Important follow-up on my pinned report and my recent post about the takeover at OPM: The Washington Post has confirmed the claims below.
There is indeed a takeover of the federal government happening that is being coordinated by people outside the government who have gotten access to U.S. servers.
