Tomi Lahren and Mike Lee have arrived at the same take: if you worry the SAVE Act will knock eligible voters off the rolls, you are the real racist or misogynist for thinking minorities and women cannot manage paperwork.
Cute line. It just evaporates when you look at what these laws actually do. In Kansas, a similar proof rule blocked tens of thousands of citizens before courts stepped in, hitting students, married women and foster youth hardest. Not because they are incapable, but because life is messy and records are lost in floods, closed DMVs, name changes and moves.
Noncitizen voting is vanishingly rare. What is not rare is a grandma born at home with no birth certificate, or a young worker whose documents sit in a county office two buses away.
If you wanted fairness, you would fund mobile ID units, waive fees, and fix the gaps first. Instead, SAVE tells whole communities: find perfect documents or forfeit your voice. That is not integrity. It is an obstacle course built for the people you already wish would stay home.
.@SenSchumer: "Would the Senator yield for a question?"

Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.

Tim Walz: What a monster! Kids have full bellies so they can learn.
My thoughts are with all Black women in higher education and the family of Dr. Bonnie Candia-Bailey. Many of us have similar stories of not being heard when we cry out for help or being met with hostility instead of the care and concern that we deserve.
The Hamas attack is horrible but it’s too easy to speak on right/wrong when you aren’t a Palestinian that’s been living under oppression for decades. Y’all maintain some healthy skepticism around how quickly US leaders rationalize supporting Israel over Palestine through this war
Hard to overstate how much worse things are going to get in a country where the population is armed to the teeth then conditioned to live in a constant paranoid state of fear.
