*BRILLIANT* The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘_white, angry old man’s_’ advice to go back where they came from.*

Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections. If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th. You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor. Beyond shameful.

(1/2) Virginia voters made their voices heard, and they deserve a process that respects the will of the people. At a moment when trust in our democratic institutions is already being tested, unprecedented intervention at this scale raises serious concerns about transparency,

The Virginia Supreme Court's decision to block a redistricting referendum that Virginians voted for is part of a broader national assault on our democratic institutions — and it should concern everyone who believes in free and fair elections.

The silence of Republicans as their president threatens to commit genocide is deafening. They're all complicit.

We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

Children belong in school, not in war. Yet, tens of thousands of boys and girls are being used as soldiers by armed forces and groups in conflict zones worldwide. @UN works to help prevent the recruitment of children and support those released. buff.ly/nwpUcs9
