Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Cutting or defunding programs like Medicaid would create major gaps in state funding and devastate state budgets. We're running out of time to protect our health care. Tell Congress NO CUTS to Medicaid! sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

resist.botThe SAVE Act is Unconstitutional and Violates Your Oath of OfficeText SIGN PMXUSS to 50409 — The SAVE Act is an unconstitutional attack on the fundamental right to vote. As a member of Congress, you took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Supporting this bill would violate that oath. This bill directly conflicts with multiple constitutional protections and federal laws: * 14th & 15th Amendments: The SAVE Act imposes undue burdens on voters, particularly people of color and women who have changed their names. These groups are more likely to lack access to required documents, creating discriminatory barriers to voting. * National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) & Supremacy Clause: The SAVE Act conflicts with federal law by undermining accessible registration methods guaranteed under the NVRA. * Elections Clause: The Supreme Court has ruled that voting laws cannot impose excessive burdens on voters without a compelling justification. This bill lacks such justification and instead creates unnecessary obstacles for eligible voters. * 24th Amendment: Requiring costly documents to register constitutes a financial barrier to voting, which is a form of a poll tax. While the 24th Amendment prohibits poll taxes in federal elections, this bill effectively imposes one by requiring voters to pay for citizenship documents or other forms of identification. In addition to its constitutional violations, the SAVE Act would create substantial administrative and financial burdens for election officials. The total cost of the SAVE Act could range from $500 million to $1 billion nationwide when factoring in administrative expenses, voter costs for obtaining documents, and systemic changes. Ongoing costs could add another $50-100 million annually. These costs are directly at odds with the administration’s stated goal of reducing government size and waste. Moreover, there is no widespread issue of non-citizen voting in the United States– as evidenced by myriad court cases. The SAVE Act is not about protecting election integrity; it is an unconstitutional attempt to suppress eligible voters under the guise of reform. You have a duty to reject legislation that violates the Constitution and undermines our democracy. The SAVE Act cannot be defended under the rule of law OR the administration's stated goals of fiscal responsibility and smaller government. It must not be allowed to stand.
