The SAVE Act is another bogus attempt by Republicans to suppress the vote — this time, targeting women. It’d make it damn near impossible for millions who changed their name after marriage to vote. This isn’t about integrity. It’s suppression. We’re not letting it slide.

Really key point here. The *overall* national poverty rate would be 6.5 points higher without social security, it reduces poverty by a much larger multiple than any other US gov't program. And again, this is in terms of the total population, not the poverty rate of seniors alone.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs.
When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

In case you're wondering, Elon Musk owns roughly 400 million shares of Tesla stock (1/8 of the company). Every time TSLA drops by $1/share, Musk's net worth drops by $400 million. A $10/share drop means a $4 billion hit. It's down $40/share today, or a $16 billion loss for Musk (on paper).
