Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins stood silently in the Oval Office clutching a red MAGA hat as Trump told lies about our elections and repeated his call for the federal government to take over vote counting in certain parts of the country. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting The β€œshow your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

The SAVE Act is part of the Trump administration’s agenda to sow distrust in elections, undermine election administration, and discourage Americans from making their voices heard. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention.

The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power.

From Steve Simon, MN Secy of State. ICE agents chase down and handcuff a child in negative temperatures while he's saying "I'm legal".

How is this making us safer?

Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional

They are capable of understanding vaccines work.
They are willing to accept seeing dead kids as the consequence. They know its wrong & proceed anyway because ideology, status & identity matter more to them than human life. Call it what it is, a sickness & moral rot of a corrupted mind.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

I am heavy-hearted to learn that a federal appeals court ruled against Mahmoud Khalil. The Trump administration’s persecution of him is unconscionable.

I stand with Mahmoud and the Constitution. Khalil has not been rearrested. This legal battle is not over.

Their 6 month old stopped breathing & lost consciousness after #ICE threw tear gas canisters & flashbangs into their car, deploying the airbags and flipping over a child's carseat.

Only 1 news outlet is covering this story of dangerous #ICELawlessness.

Please tag your local paper & media outlets.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality β€” and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Trump Administration doesn't consider being a Registered Nurse and a "professional program".

What kind of bullshit is this? I'm married to a doctor who greatly appreciates RNs and often says: "Nurses keep doctors from killing you!"

I stand with Sen. Mark Kelly.

To all active and retired US Military members: Defy illegal orders. Defy Unconstitutional orders. When you swore an oath, you were not reciting a poem – you were making a commitment.

Re: Kelly

They're about to give a man who would be an unbeatable presidential nominee a huge moral platform and I don't think they've thought this through.

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.

Fear is contagious, but so is COURAGE!

Listen to these messages from across the country thanking @houlahan.house.gov of Pennsylvania, one of the veterans reminding service members they need not follow unlawful orders.

Thank you, Congresswoman!

Pentagon investigating Sen. Mark Kelly over 'refuse illegal orders' video The Pentagon said it is reviewing whether Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, broke military law by urging troops to refuse unlawful orders.

Trump’s attacks on Senator Mark Kelly show he’s running a Putinist regime.

This happens because every Republican in Congress is complicit in dictatorship. They could stop him today.

Vote out Republicans at every level in every state. Save democracy from them.
