Russia is sending election operatives to Hungary to prop up Orban. The dirty tricks to support Putin’s puppet in the EU will be off the chart.

The SAVE Act doesn't just add requirements.

It ends:
β€” Online registration
β€” Registration drives
β€” DMV registration

5.6% of Americans registered at an election office in 2024.

Under the SAVE Act, that's the only way. For everyone.

Our New Iran Correspondent | The New York Times Company

This is the kind of journalist an editor yearns for at a time like this: A Persian-fluent reporter w/ deep experience covering Iranian politics and policies.

She used to work at the Washpost.

Then Bezos dismantled the international coverage.

Now she’s at the NYT

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union NIH leadership said the union β€œshould never have been certified,” in an email to the union’s leadership.

NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.

But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n

Texas primary exposed GOP scheme to rig the 2026 midterms | Will Bunch Conspiracy theories, confusing rules, and right-wing judges: A Dallas voting fiasco is a 5-alarm fire for U.S. democracy.

It's no secret that Trump's GOP wants to put its fingers on the scale of democracy and mess up the 2026 midterms, but how?

Rooted in conspiracy theories, a deliberate effort to confuse voters, and judicial meddling, Dallas exposed their vile scheme

Let me tell you about the SAVE Act. You need to know about it.

It’s Trump’s first (of likely many) major attempt to rig the election in his favor. It takes away the right to vote for millions and allows your voting records to be erased. We cannot let it pass the Senate.

Shout out to the Fox News hack who tried to intimidate me by contacting my employer and writing a (terrible) hit piece when I posted β€œAbolishing ICE is the moderate position” after Renee Good’s killing.

I just can’t express my rage at the GOP hauling out the women’s rights BS for this again. A party that forces women and girls to give birth to their rapists baby, is trying to make it harder for women to vote, wants guns in domestic abuser hands.
