LAST CHANCE: Proponents of the anti-voter SAVE Act are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to require documents like a passport in order to register to vote. Tell the Commission: Don’t make it harder for Americans to cast a ballot bit.ly/4ngSyyl

It is easy to feel overwhelmed in the face of so much wrong. But the growing chorus of dissent over Disney censoring Jimmy Kimmel shows people are finding courage.

If this is true, why are you only making this argument now? Why are you leaving bargaining chips on the table and giving Musk and Trump a blank check to continue destroying our democracy?
A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, state, and country.
Musk has said he wants a shutdown, and reporting has shown he is already making plans to use the shutdown to expedite his destruction of key government programs and services.
