This is an extremely serious political blunder and it will end up in a lot of Dem ads:
Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

The SAVE Act, sponsored by @SenMikeLee, is a voter suppression bill. If you think it is about protecting the integrity of our elections, read this:
This is my analysis of the SAVE Act. It started as a stunt by Mike Johnson to protect his speakership. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. When it fails, Trump will escalate to something even more dangerous. Read and share.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this

Read this slowly. They slap the words “Save America” on it, then stack the fine print with barriers, culture war bait, and rules that make voting harder for regular folks. Limiting mail ballots, adding document hurdles, and tossing in unrelated social issues is not election

Credit to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson for standing strong for Utahns. There is no lawful basis for this federal overreach. Utah Democrats will always fight to defend the integrity of our elections and the privacy of voters.
Within weeks of Trump’s DOJ suing Utah in an effort to obtain its entire voter database, the state is asking a federal judge to throw out the unprecedented lawsuit.

The more you learn about @SenMikeLee’s SAVE Act, the more you see it is 99.99% voter suppression and .01% reducing voter fraud.
Maybe read your bill? The accepted forms of ID to vote under the SAVE Act: 1. Enhanced REAL ID: Only available in 5 states. Costs up to $50 (poll tax) and requires a birth certificate which 40M Americans lack access to. 2. Valid passport: 146M Americans do not have and costs

NEW: Inequality is spiking. It makes sense that we're seeing increasing pressure on states to tax their richest, says IPS scholar @Chuck99to1. “It’s good for everybody, in a time of grotesque inequality, for wealthy people to chip in a little bit more.” https://t.co/GmkpfskcJh

Since Trump has taken office, over 40 people have died in ICE custody. And just this weekend, a 41-year-old man passed away under ICE’s watch. This is disturbing. We deserve answers.
An Afghan father who served with U.S. forces has died in ICE custody. Mohammed Nazeer Paktiawal was detained while dropping off his kids at school. He died less than 24 hours later.

This is not normal. Americans are dying. We’re burning $1 billion a day overseas while families struggle at home. And now Trump is trying to cover it up by threatening to revoke broadcasters’ licenses for reporting on the war he doesn’t like. https://t.co/GtOF1eidQS

Scientists put kids through 100 hours of reading, then scanned their brains. New wiring had physically grown inside the language regions. Communication between brain areas sped up by a factor of 10. Kids who didn't read showed zero change. That was a 2009 Carnegie Mellon study.

@DarrigoMelanie Analyses of the Heritage Foundation's own database (1999-2023) show extremely little voter fraud, so rare it never swayed or changed any election outcomes, per conservative and nonpartisan reviews. Trump's SAVE Act is built on exaggerated lies, not evidence.

“Republicans will lose power—likely for a long time—if we don’t get [ OUR VOTER SUPPRESSION BILL ] passed,” is really shouting the quiet part out loud. If the SAVE Act was a voter ID bill, it would provide voter IDs — but it doesn’t. It only prevents eligible voters from voting.
