The SAVE Act is not to prevent non-citizens from voting (something that rarely happens) it's to prevent U.S. CITIZENS from voting by creating burdensome barriers for women, working class people, and millions of others.

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

Trump's obsession with the SAVE Act could impact your ability to vote—the bill cannot become law.

“Letitia James would be among the many Black women that support their families.” Thanks @nytimes for covering Kennedy Andara, Bela Salas-Betsch & my research @amprog in this story about the experiences of Black breadwinning women. https://t.co/4bKWdyRbRq

New today @amprog. We find that policy changes enacted since the start of the year will hurt Americans' 2027 incomes on average at every income level by about -$1,500

Except the top 1%. They can expect a +$5,000 income bump

@lisacmuth @Datawrapper So well deserved. LCM is a treasure and the community is lucky to have her!

(Spoiler: regardless of where you live, at least 3,000 federal workers.) Cheers to Kennedy Andara, @billrapp, and other incredibly talented colleagues at CAP for this amazing data viz. https://t.co/awDNo391hT

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

The Department of Energy has paused the firings of hundreds of employees who work for a key agency maintaining the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, multiple sources tell ABC News. https://t.co/wiUPwOFANf

REMINDER: We have a constitution and three branches of government. If you want to keep it, now is the time to say something. https://t.co/8PvsyqDxAv

Jobs Day data risks losing reliability because the labor market survey it relies on is both outdated and underfunded. The CEO of @AmalgamatedBank sounds the alarm in this piece for @AmerBanker: https://t.co/MeloSrKIlf

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Housing is a human right. That’s why @RepAOC and I just introduced the Homes Act — to help everyone find a quality, affordable place to call home.

It was great to talk about it at @AmProg’s housing summit!

[Bill Rapp @billrapp]

Same.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

Same.

Literally, the same jobs at the same York Steak House.

@ThirdWayKessler A life well lived. Thinking of you and your family, Jim. Take care.

The MAGA Project 2025 plan would take a sledgehammer to a thriving clean energy economy created by the Inflation Reduction Act https://t.co/f40LthI9Bx

What role will health policy play in tonight's debate? I'll be listening for two issues that got lots of attention in previous cycles -- the Affordable Care Act and Medicare drug negotiation.

When our abortion travel time map showed-up in @pbump’s essential *How To Read This Chart* newsletter this week, I braced for a makeover. But that last line was the ultimate compliment for any data visualizer. @sara_estep_ @amprog
