That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Your friendly reminder from Kevin Walling that every Democrat in the House voted for National Voter ID included in the Freedom to Vote Act. Not one Republican voted for it. The SAVE Act isn’t about Voter ID, it’s a voter suppression bill to help rig the midterms for Republicans.

Congress diverted an extra $34 billion in taxpayer funds to unrequested projects for the military contractors bankrolling their election campaigns. I assume right-wing influencers are going to film themselves banging on the doors of the Pentagon demanding they pass an audit now, right?
