Congressional Republicans just betrayed their constituents to give a tax break to their ultra-wealthy donors.

The SAVE Act, a.k.a the Save the Republicans' Asses Act, is a shameless attempt to block Americans—especially married women—from voting. Requiring birth certificates to cast a ballot? That’s not election security. That’s voter suppression.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

A tariff is a federal sales tax paid for by consumers.
When a tariff is imposed on a trade partner, the trade partner retaliates with a tariff.
That hurts American businesses.
Imposing tariffs on all of our allies hurts the US. Also note that there are no tariffs on Russia. Traitor.

We shouldn’t have to fear the spread of false information. We should be afraid because a large number of voting adults are unable to distinguish for themselves what is true and what is false.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.
Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

Amidst all the chaos of the first few weeks of the Trump administration, they're working to pass the SAVE Act, which would require American citizens nationwide to provide a passport or birth certificate in person to register to vote. Here's why this is a big problem:
