Amazing that they use "time will tell" as a reason to "think" about it instead of reading the Constitution. What "time will tell" is whether this'll light a fire under Democrats' and voters' asses and fully turn the tide against any politician supporting this lunacy. www.npr.org/2026/08/24/n...
Supreme Court pauses lower court ruling on Trump's mail voting order as hurdles loom
The Supreme Court paused a lower court's ruling that blocked key parts of Trump's order to limit voting by mail for the midterms. But U.S. Postal Service work on the order remains blocked nationwide.

The #MSM is losing its mind over El-Sayed's win in Michigan. Instead of seeing the point being failed Democratic leadership in the House and Senate, and forgetting how math and the legislative process work, they talk about "socialism" as 5 congressman will make it happen. apple.news/AMAXUhdWiTY2...

This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change.
The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

In Biblical times, floods, fires, tornadoes, and other natural disasters were deemed to be messages from God that man’s actions displeased him and they either changed their ways or were wiped out. Looks like we’ve chosen the latter. Way to ignore lessons, Bible readers.

Just a thought, but maybe, just maybe someone in the media could point out that just because districts are redrawn to be GOP majority doesn’t mean voters have to vote for GOP candidates.

How can we be out of money if we still have checks?
The government becomes more sensitive to interest rates as debt grows. One in seven dollars of federal spending now goes to interest. A 0.1 percentage-point interest-rate increase would cost $379 billion over 10 years, according to the CBO.

After Callais, the task is to drive home the notion that just because you’re a Republican in a Republican district doesn’t mean you have to vote for the Republican. You have a choice and a way to save democracy.

This does not make America great again. It makes us bullies with a big Army. It is illegal. It is immoral. It is evil. It will turn the world against us, and for what? A small man’s delusions and people who know better’s lack of decency. God grant us the mercy Trump won’t grant others.

Has anyone heard a coherent strategy from @democrats.org, @housedemocrats.bsky.social, or @democrats.senate.gov about what they'll do if SAVE passes? Are they going to monitor enforcement across all states to ensure the same ID rules are equally enforced, or watch it happen and write letters? 🤷♂️
