My 97 y/o mother cannot get a Real ID because the first name on her birth certificate is spelled differently from the spelling her parents used for her name after she came home from the hospital. She has used that spelling ever since, for passports, regular drivers license, marriage license, etc.

Can't stop thinking about Kamala Harris saying "Trump has an enemies list. I have a to-do list."

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

Something tells me that when the Deputy Chief of Staff at DHS tweets to his 1.3M followers that Abrego Garcia is a criminal terrorist monster who will serve a long prison sentence, that might taint the jury pool. @aclu.org

ICE arrests 15 people, including 3-year-old child, in San Francisco, advocates say Families and children were detained Wednesday at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in San Francisco, advocates said.

ICE’s secret police terror campaign keeps escalating. They’re terrorizing families who are just trying to survive. And detaining children is simply vile.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump.

It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

β€˜Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

Go to the doctor? In this economy?!? πŸ“‰

Health care can be outrageously expensive, but the Medicare for All Act would eliminate financial barriers to care for all U.S. patientsβ€”no matter their income or employment situation.

Actually, according to final count, Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote, so 50.2% of voters chose someone else. Estimates are that just over 63% of voters turned out for the election, so there is room for improvement there.
