The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters. Letâs be clear: weâve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now weâre supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box?

Children ending up in the ICU. Children trying to end their lives. Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick. Children held for 8 months or longer. These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley. Theyâre pleading to be let out.

To any former northerners now living in the south; an ice storm of this magnitude is Nothing like the snow storms you had up there. There is no way to plow ice and the power lines & tree limbs will come down with just 1/4â & theyâre calling for more. Take this stuff seriously!

1. On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special Congressional election in Arizona, collecting 69% of the vote. 43 days later, Speaker Johnson has not sworn her in. The delay, 8 days longer than the previous record, has prevented Grijalva from forcing a vote to release the Epstein files.

Waiting outside the understaffed DMV despite getting up at the crack of dawn to get here before 7:30. They check folks in until the seating is full and then send the rest to wait outside. This is why they make us have an ID to vote. Theyâre hoping that weâll be so frustrated weâll just give up.
