Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.
But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.
These are not serious people.

I feel like I am going blind, not to mention it being super dangerous, with having to drive in an old car that doesn’t have one of those fancy rear-view dim mirrors to alleviate some of the blinding-light hitting my eyes!

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
Trump lackey Mike Johnson is super pissed that we were able to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits.
Imagine how mad he’ll be when we get it passed. Make your voice heard and demand that Congress vote yes on this as soon as they come back:
I think about this quote from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social a lot:
“The idea that some people may freely poison others is one of the most astonishing but least contested aspects of modern life.”
MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
Bolsonaro ordered to start 27-year prison term for plotting Brazil coup. This is what Trump should be doing.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
With Comcast seeking approval of Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr, Trump posts that Comcast-owned NBC needs to fire Seth Meyers, and Carr reposts it. #followthemoney
Mark Wolf
Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench.
In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and America’s favorite Jewish parents now THAT’S a team up.
Donald Trump is abusing the pardon power as a means of rewarding his family, his allies & his wealthy donors.
I'm headed to the floor with @warren.senate.gov to attempt to pass a resolution condemning his pardon of crypto billionaire Changpeng Zhao—the latest in a long string of corrupt clemencies.
National Guard deployment in DC is costing $1 million/day www.cnn.com/2025/08/28/p...
They’re there each time I step out of the Metro, idling in groups with nothing to do
Meanwhile, around the corner, people are sleeping on the street, nowhere else to go, as Trump cuts funding for homeless people
By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23
