My mom’s naturalization was a family event - dressed up, photos & lunch to celebrate.

Days later my grandma-in-law gave her apple pie with a card: “Now you’re as American as apple pie.”

If you’re not Native, you’re from immigrants. Punishing law-abiding immigrants is just white supremacy.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME - Graham Platner has a Nazi tattoo and claims he got it “drunk in the Marines” and didn’t know what it meant?

He still has it. Still stands by racist, sexist comments. Worked for Blackwater. What else will surface? This is why vetting candidates matters.

I'm tired of seeing white Democrats make excuses for white Dem candidates who said racist and sexist things because nobody thought to even do some basic online research to vet this guy.

And they all skim right over the fact that he worked for Blackwater.

Mike Johnson sent everyone home & refuses to talk to Democrats.

“There’s absolutely no reason for the House to be out of session,” said GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley.

He’s stalling Adelita Grivalja’s swearing in to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.

Most people get fired for not doing their job.

Today, the President held a press conference with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other members of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leadership. During the press conference, speakers shared harmful, false information about autism, acetaminophen, and vaccines. An HHS that does not provide accurate information to the President and make safe, science-informed decisions puts us all at grave risk. ASAN will release a full statement about this in the coming days. Today and always: autistic people belong.

What I've found so far about the political affiliation of 22 year old Tyler Robinson, who allegedly confessed to shooting Charlie Kirk:

- registered to vote with no party affiliation

- did not vote in the last 2 general elections, so he's listed as an inactive voter.

Link to article below.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said he had been praying that the shooter who killed Charlie Kirk was either from out of state OR SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY

because "that would be easier on us".

Who is the "us" in that sentence? Not people of color or immigrants!

Former CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired for refusing reckless, unscientific directives, her lawyers say. WH claims she wasn’t “aligned” with the agenda of “Making America Healthy Again.” RFK Jr lies just as much as Trump.

Where do you stand?

You can want solutions for the unhoused, you can want safer cities, but you can also be dead set against federalizing them and against military occupation.

I stand with DC!

What is the administration hiding?

Is the bruise on the back of Trump's hand from an IV?

What is he being treated for?

The American people deserve to know whether the President is cognitively capable of doing his job.

This isn't governing.

"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true.

It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures.

No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school.

How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?

Red state cities w/ higher violent crime rates than DC & Baltimore

Kansas City, MO: 1,724
Indianapolis, IN: 1,334
New Orleans, LA: 1,121
Wichita, KS: 1,022
Baton Rouge, LA: 1,027

We know why Trump is targeting DC & Baltimore.

Here's What Big Retailers Are Saying About Consumer Trends and the Impact of Tariffs on Prices Major retailers that released quarterly results last week shared their perspectives on how consumers are faring and what tariffs mean for the industry.

Tariffs are hitting retailers hard, and consumers are starting to see increased prices.

Companies can only absorb so much before the additional costs are passed on to consumers.

Trump's trade war costs are hiring Americans.
