With an upcoming Supreme Court case that could heavily restrict mail in voting, our voting rights are further under threat. From the Voting Rights Act of 1965 being heavily curtailed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013 to the draconian voter suppression laws now, we have a democracy crisis in U.S. society. That mail in voting case is related to the state of Mississippi. We also have the controversial SAVE Act. That bill promotes some of the slickest attacks on voting rights of all time. Studies and research show that the bill would block millions of Americans from voting, according to the Brennan Center including other experts in favor of voting rights. The House passed the SAVE America Act on February 11, 2026. It is now being debated in the U.S. Senate. The bill is wrong, because it has a "show your papers" requirement for voter registration. That means that every American citizen must show documents like a passport or birth certificate (which you have to pay a lot of money to get) in order to register to vote. Half of all Americans don't have a passport, and more than 21 million Americans lack access to those documents. Millions of women with married names don't have the same name on their birth certificates. So, they could potentially lose their voting rights. This bill can disenfranchise poor people, black people, rural people, people of color, and the elderly. Some bills want voter rolls to be sent to the DHS. The SAVE Act provides limited IDs for people to vote, it bans the use of student IDs, mandates voter surges every 30 days, bans universal mail in voting (or make all people submit an application to get a mail in ballot). We know that Trump desires to ban mail in voting (yet, Trump has voted by mail in Florida outlining his hypocrisy), threatened to put ICE agents near voting centers, and promoted the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Mail in voting has helped the elderly, it is safe, and it works. We must oppose this SAVE Act vigorously.
The Pentagon restricts the press again after the court loss. The fundamental point of the Iranian War is that Trump has not put forth a legitimate strategy to end the Iran war. The Iranian War is purely unjust. That is why there will be a new No Kings Day rally on March 28, 2026. Trump is extremely naive to believe that he can end this war by fiat, and he desires the Strait of Hormuz to be opened soon. Trump said that he maybe controls the Strait of Hormuz which is total absurdity. Iran had denied that serious talks are underway. Trump should end this war, but he wants to maintain his power and wealthy. So, Trump may end this war in the coming weeks to save face. Many of his financial backers in Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Qatar have their wealthy gone down because of the war. Dubai's luxury resorts are under fire too. There is a massive political backlash against the war that could cost Republicans the midterm elections in the end of the year. Netanyahu continues to bomb Lebanon and Iran when he has been accused of financial corruption for years. Iran recently launched intermediate range ballistic missiles at the U.S./U.K. Diego Garcia military base which is 2,500 miles away. That is far enough to hit parts of Europe.
Trump ordering ICE agents to deploy at U.S. airports by force represents an escalation of the authoritarian Trump regime. These ICE agents have no extensive training that takes about six months for TSA agents to handle airport security. This policy is being enforced by Trump's cabinet official Tom Homan. Trump is doing this to try to convince Senate Democrats to promote minor cosmetic reforms in ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), two units of DHS whose agents murdered protesters Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January 2026. Hundreds of TSA agents have quit, and thousands have called in sick every day, so they can work second jobs. They want to feed their families and pay their bills. The DHS funding authorization expired on February 15, 2026. There have been no full paychecks since then. This comes as ICE and CBP has received a five-year appropriation last summer part of Trump's economic law which promotes tax cuts for the super wealthy. Trump said that the greatest enemy of America is the Democratic Party and the Radical Left. To call millions of Americans the greatest enemy in America is plain fascism and evil. People have the right to dissent with this current administration via the First Amendment.
A recent CBS poll showed that 60 percent of American oppose a military attack against Iran. Trump, by his own doing, has caused an attack in Iran (with Israel) to drive up oil prices, harm our alliances with allies, and Iran has denied talks with America as Trump claims to have major points of agreement. How can you have major points of agreement when the Trump regime allowed Americans to die and Iranian little girls to be killed by a strike. The Middle East is now in a war zone when attacks have taken place in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, the U.A.E., Israel, Lebanon, etc. This reality has caused a division in the MAGA movement with some MAGA people opposing the war in Iran. A kingdom divided can't stand, and we have seen people like even Joe Rogan (who supported much of the MAGA agenda) oppose the Iranian war. Trump is lower than low for saying that he is glad that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller is dead (Mueller lived to be 81 years old). This shows Trump's low character, and anyone supporting Trump's comments is lower than low too.
There has been 2 people dead and dozens injured in the Air Canada crash at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York City. The pilot and co-pilot were killed, and 41 other people were injured according to a Port Authority spokesperson. There was an arriving passenger jet that struck a Port Authority vehicle at the airport late at night. 32 people have been released. The issue with this relates to air control issues as this nation of America lacks air control workers. Now, we have a TSA shortage as people are forcing the TSA to work for free. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has asked Congress for additional money for air traffic control. Congress needs to invest in air control to further modernize the system. Members of both parties, Democrats and Republicans, desire this funding. There has been video footage released of the fatal crash between an Air Canada plane and a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport. NTSB investigators have been doing their jobs to investigate the horrendous scene. LaGuardia Airport reopened a single runway by 2 pm. EST. They warned travelers to expect delays and cancelations.
