Noncitizen voting is already illegal — and exceedingly rare. The SAVE Act doesn’t fix that.

It just makes it harder for YOU — elderly, rural, low-income, and married women — to register.

Call your senators now ☎️202-224-3121.

Mike Johnson just told you the quiet part out loud: Republicans have a plan to gut Social Security next year. They’re waiting until after the midterms so you can’t vote against it.

Don’t let them wait you out.

Make this an issue that matters this November. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

This is beautiful. ✨

President Obama understands what some men never will. Real strength doesn’t erase women.

It honors them.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

16 years and two Trump terms since Obamacare, and despite doing everything to dismantle it, the Republican Party still hasn't provided a single proposal for an alternative.

Because the Republican plan is for all of us to die prematurely and broke.

Well at least there's an art collector in charge of the Navy and a former junior co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend in charge of the Defense Department.

2/2. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.
