An effective long term strategy for those who care about independent and credible news would be to fund nonprofits to enable nonpartisan journalism. We can see where CNN is going, we need more ProPublicias.
They can't control what's happening now, so they're trying to control what gets said about it.

delivered a #CupOfJoe w/ a latte truth about the SAVE Act.
It would put more red tape between women & the ballot box.
Why? They’re scared of women voters. Their goal is to take women’s rights backwards.
Fuck that. We will #KeepMovingForward!

Voter Fraud ~ The Facts: Data Analysis of the Heritage Foundation Database (1999-2023) 77: Non-citizens who successfully cast a ballot over 24 years. 10: Undocumented immigrants who voted. 1 Billion+ Ballots: Estimated total votes cast in the U.S. (1999-2023) 0. 00000764: Minuscule % of ALL Votes The Bottom Line: Even using data from a conservative organization looking for fraud, the instances of non-citizen voting are statistically microscopic.
❇️ FACTS:
The 2020 election was NOT rigged.
Trump LOST both the popular vote AND the electoral college in 2020.
The (bullshit) SAVE act is designed to disenfranchise voters.
Republicans are on the WRONG side of history and they’re ANTI-American.
Republicans can NOT win unless they CHEAT.
THE HILL SENATE Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 03/11/26 5:29 PM ET
THE HILL Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups. The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug's widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023. But mifepristone, which when combined with the drug misoprostol can end pregnancies at up to 70 days of gestation, has become a major target of the anti-abortion movement. President Trump has sought to satisfy those anti-abortion voices by launching an FDA review of the drug, which has not been completed. Hawley says the ability of doctors to prescribe the drug across state lines has led to rampant abuse and alleges that incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug's maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.
While we’re worried about the war, the Epstein files, drone attacks in CA…
Josh Hawley and Republicans are taking this moment to push legislation to strip FDA approval for Mifepristone
The assaults on Americans are coming from inside the house.
I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written.

BREAKING: Per WaPo, a new whistleblower report alleges a former DOGE member said he kept his SSA computer & credentials, giving him “God-level” access to Social Security systems.
Meanwhile, Trump wants to force every state to rely on SSA data for voter roll purges under the SAVE America Act. 1/
A whole lot of people in this administration have neglected to do that.
😂
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Lewis Bollard @Lewis_Bollard Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.
This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.
Republicans often say we “can’t afford” Social Security.
Their solution?
Cut benefits for working people who’ve paid into the program for our entire working lives.
They never suggest that the wealthiest people in America should pay into Social Security all year long, just like the rest of us.
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

"There’s a wonderful historian and scholar of nonviolence named George Lakey who says polarization is good. That’s when you have clarity. Sometimes people have to pick sides. You do not get authoritarians to behave better by being meek and gentle and polite. You get it by being strong."
"One new twist, compared to prior restrictive voting measures, is that women, especially White Republican women, will be hard hit by these burdens. The SAVE Act employs “gendered burdens” – bureaucratic obstacles that purposefully and predictably hurt women."
It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.
That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.
