🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People
It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

SAG-AFTRA is proud to support the NO FAKES Act. As SAG-AFTRA NED & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland explains, this crucial legislation would give not only #SagAftraMembers, but everybody, the right to control the use of their image, likeness and voice. #SagAftraStrong

Great moments in proving the point of the protest.
Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler.

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

Lost in some of the outrage over this is that Trump's pick is LITERALLY unqualified. The law says a Chairman has to have been a vice chair, a service chief or held a combatant command. Caine hasn't done any of those and I don't think he was even the senior service general at a combatant command.

DOJ's judicial complaint against Judge Ana Reyes is an attempt to "work the refs" on a new level, despite resting on extremely weak grounds. The response is important, not only for the case at issue, but also to push back against any threat DOJ might be seeking to send about judicial independence.
