BREAKING: The House passed a voter suppression bill called the SAVE Act.
The bill requires every voter to present an ID & a passport or original birth certificate to register to vote.
This will stop millions of Americans who don't have these documents on hand from voting.

The U.S. added 403,000 fewer jobs last year than previously anticipated.
The new estimate is that the economy added just 181,000 jobs in all of 2025, as opposed to the 1.46 million jobs added in 2024.

House republicans endorsed Trump's proposed HALF A TRILLION increase to the already bloated Pentagon.
This would starve funding for critical issues like housing, health care, & employment.
Instead of addressing our needs, they want to burn $500 BILLION on the war machine.

This is heartbreaking for the lack of care for these children!
This administration was real quick to say they support families but do this.

Although the court had found that federal agents can do their jobs without wearing masks, the law, as is, does not apply equally to law enforcement officers across the state, the judge cited as cause for her ruling.
