Don’t let them trick you. The SAVE Act is not a voter ID bill. It’s a voter SUPPRESSION bill.

The White House’s Financial Disclosures for Top Officials Are Incomplete Border Czar Tom Homan’s financial disclosure has not been finalized by the federal ethics office.

Months after posting financial disclosures online, the Trump admin does not appear to have sent the financial information for some top White House officials to the Office of Government Ethics for a second and often more serious review — including Trump border czar Tom Homan.

Last night we came out on top in a crowded field and earned our spot in the runoff.

That’s no small thing in Northwest Georgia.

Voting machine company Smartmatic says DOJ is targeting it to bolster false 2020 claims The company asked a judge to dismiss foreign bribery charges filed against it last year, alleging a vindictive and selective prosecution.

Smartmatic — the voting machine company at the heart of Trump's 2020 election lies — just accused the Trump Justice Department of vindictive and selective prosecution, saying that DOJ is now bringing a criminal case against them to further the Trump admin's baseless lies about that vote.

I mean, what do you even do with this…?

Trump has us in one fine mess, and he is surrounded by incompetent buffoons that only tell him yes. Anyone with basic history knowledge knew Iran’s theocratic regime was not going to roll over because Trump said to. Trump and GOP have to go!

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

Americans are taking hardship withdrawals from their retirement accounts at the fastest pace in history warns Vanguard 🚨🚨

Wow! Votes are still being counted for margin, but Democrats flipped a seat in the New Hampshire State House, in an area that Trump had won in 2020 and 2024. See you in midterms!

Unofficial final results in the New Hampshire #HDCarroll7 (Trump+9) special election:

Bobbi Boudman (D)- 51.9%
Dale Fincher (R)- 48.1%

This would be a 13 point overperformance from 2024 and the third Democratic state legislative flip of 2026!

Trump advisor: Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war.

Klein: I will quote the Constitution. ‘The Congress shall have power to declare war.’ It is Congress that has the power to declare war.

Trump advisor: S-so… The issue has to do with what was meant by ‘declare’…

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:

Iranian Military Shows It Knows How to Adapt, U.S. Officials Say Iran appears to be targeting what it views as American vulnerabilities, including air defenses meant to guard troops and assets in the region.

Sounds like something a well-prepared military should have thought of before they started dropping bombs.

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

First rule of politics: Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

LBJ, Trump, and the Freedom to Vote The president should use his authority to expand democracy, not restrict it.

President Lyndon B. Johnson used the power of the bully pulpit to demand that every citizen be granted the equal right to vote. Today, we have a president demanding that Congress pull back that very right.

Trump’s original midterm plan was to gerrymander red states.

But that backfired when Democrats fought back.

Now he’s desperately moved on to his Plan B: The SAVE Act.

And in some way, shape or form, we’re gonna thwart that, too.
