In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."
The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

Yesterday, the House passed the GOP’s new voter suppression legislation modeled on the SAVE Act.
Let’s be clear: This series of bills (which would end registration by mail and add new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering) is unlikely to pass the Senate.

It isn't surprising, but it needs to be said.
Teachers and American citizens can no longer rely on official government websites for information.
They are bluntly, grievously partisan.

I am devastated by the way this was handled too. But the administration’s decision to use the official government website to spread lies & propaganda is equally troubling.
