Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear:
1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close.
2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

In April 2024, the SAVE Act was born as a political stunt to keep Mike Johnson from being booted as House speaker.
Today, the legislation has become a very real threat, and it's critical for Americans to know what’s at stake, Marc Elias writes.

The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.
As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.

Republicans’ voter suppression tactics rarely make headlines, but it remains the greatest threat to democracy. This year, we’ve seen one of these tactics on full display through map-rigging efforts.

Just finished listening to “The Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles. I had listened/read “Ordinary Grace” by William Kent Krueger only a month ago. Really struck by the similarities between the books. Wondering about this impulse towards a 20 th century Huck Finn/Odyssey narrative.
