Sen. Slotkin on Donald Trump:
"He's literally left…Sen. Thune, on the stage right now, canceled the signing of a housing bill like eight minutes ago until we pass the SAVE Act, this obsession he has, which will disenfranchise a huge number of voters."
The immense economic power of the richest Americans allows them to wield immense political power, too.
They can pour millions into our elections to elect politicians that will continue to rig the system in their favor.
We must end this vicious cycle.
Every state that has the power to do this, should. Though I imagine we would watchJan 6ers flock to wholly red states to live.

A geofence warrant lets police sweep up data on every phone in a defined area during a defined window. Is that constitutional? The Supreme Court will decide in Chatrie v. United States. Tech Policy Press fellow Jake Laperruque talks with NACDL's Michael Price, who represents the plaintiff.
Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.
Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions
Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.
"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."
The President of the United States is a criminal.
He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment.
Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.
NEWS: MAGA influencer Craig Long has been arrested in a human trafficking and prostitution sting in Florida, along with Ryan Yates, a Trump supporter who pleaded guilty in Feb 2024 for his involvement in January 6.

Palantir’s manifesto confirms our worst fears: the company running our surveillance state is fueled by dangerous prejudice.
@wyden.senate.gov@velazquez.house.gov & I are demanding answers from DHS & ICE to reveal how this data is being used & on whom. There must be proper oversight of these tools.
If the WH new ball room is critical for future security of POTUS, maybe he should cancel all future rallies, golf games, Mar-a-lardo stays etc and just hunker down in his bunker. I for one would enjoy the break.
I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’
should try and pin the blame for political violence
on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.
If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.
Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

What if it’s showing the people running this country that we control something they can’t take away:
Our labor.
Our money.
Our participation.
Minnesota already proved it. <1>
The richest man owns X.
The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
