They're not stopping at your birth certificate. SAVE 2.0 would END online voter registration in , KILL mail-in registration, and STOP voter registration drives.

Utterly unconstitutional. The power of the purse is in Congress.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

Minnesotans have a choice on February 3rd:

Do you want a senator who enabled Trump's cruel ICE chaos? Or a senator who has always stood up for safety for our immigrant neighbors?

To me, the answer is clear.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.

The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Holy crap this is a lot, but it sure beats reading Jake Tapper’s money-grab hype-vehicle.
A Trump Biographer Explains Why You Don’t Hate the New Jake Tapper Book About Joe Biden Nearly As Much As You Should

A broken analog clock is right twice a day.

A broken digital clock is only right when we’re all dead.

Elon, the latter in this analogy, is wrong about why the bad budget bill is broken.

He will never be right, and the bill will break many, many lives.
