"In one study that studied noncitizen voter fraud from 2000 to 2014, out of 49.5 million voter registrations checked, 0.02% of the names were investigated as possible registered noncitizens. There was no evidence that any of those people had actually voted. A serious blow to Trump’s unfounded hysteria over droves of illegal voters sandbagging elections in favor of Democrats."

The House just passed the SAVE America Act, but let’s be clear: this isn’t a voter ID bill. It’s Trump’s election takeover bill, and now the Senate is deciding whether to carve out the filibuster to force it through.
Here’s what it would do:
- Create a nationwide “show your papers” requirement, forcing many Americans to present a passport or birth certificate in person just to register or update their voter registration. Documents ~21 million citizens don’t have readily available.
- Hand state voter rolls over to a national DHS database that could flag voters for removal, something we’ve already seen wrongly block eligible voters.
We stopped a previous version of this bill because people spoke up. Now they’re trying again. Pressure on the Senate matters. Text SAVE to 63033 to contact your senators and tell them to reject Trump’s election takeover bill, or contact them using this link: act.link/gi-Pn6fiq

A troubling development just unfolded in Virginia: A circuit court in Tazewell County just BLOCKED the effort to redraw the maps by ordering “relief” that WASN’T EVEN REQUESTED. The decision is now being appealed to the Supreme Court of Virginia. This does not stop the process. This is a deliberate attempt by Virginia Republicans to confuse voters and block them from having a say. When politicians can’t win fair and square, they turn to lawsuits and misinformation.
What’s at stake is simple. This amendment gives Virginians the final say on fair congressional maps. It’s temporary, it’s an emergency response to a national power grab, and it preserves Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting process after the next census.

"What the Epstein files reveal is a relentless pattern of institutional breakdown: no standards, no quality control, no accountability, and a rush to close the case and pat themselves on the back, without doing any of the work required by law. They protect themselves while hanging the victims out to dry."

BREAKING: A MAJOR update here on Maryland redistricting. The Maryland state House and Governor Wes Moore are in favor of a new 8-0 map– but state Senate leader Bill Ferguson and some other state Senators are opposed. As Trump and Republicans carry out their attacks on our elections, seize ballots, deploy the military into American streets, and undermine democracy at every turn, this is not the time to capitulate. We must fight fire with fire, and that begins with redrawing the map in Maryland. Use this link to tell Maryland leaders to defend our democracy before it’s too late: act.link/gi-x6nbtc

"This all goes back to Trump’s pathological obsession with the 2020 election and the repeatedly discredited conspiracy theory that it was stolen from him. So here we are again, back in Georgia, searching for any kind of evidence to justify litigating a closed case. And who’s there this time? Tulsi Gabbard. After FBI agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots from a Georgia election facility (weird), Gabbard showed up at the FBI office in Atlanta and brokered a phone call between the agents and the President (weirder). That Gabbard would be present during the raid was stranger still, since our spying agencies are only supposed to look outside the country. They’re not supposed to spy on Americans. She has absolutely no jurisdiction here."

Virginia is at the epicenter of the data-center boom — and that means massive new electricity demand. The question is simple: do household energy bills go up, or do we invest in affordable, clean energy that meets demand? Clean energy, like solar, is faster to build, cheaper to deploy, and virtually unlimited. Pairing solar with battery storage works to keep power flowing 24/7 — and it keeps costs down. If you live in Virginia or know someone who does, share this. Energy affordability needs to be front and center in the 2026 legislative session.

BIG NEWS! According to the latest polling, Republican Dan Sullivan from Alaska is the third least popular Senator in America. That means we've got a REAL chance of flipping this Senate seat in November. If you want to support Mary Peltola (who's already shown she can win in Alaska!), please donate here: actl.ink/mpakgi?ref=btc
