You donโ€™t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong โ€” you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.

In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.

Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who wonโ€™t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly whatโ€™s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Texas GOP are smug because they cheat, throw out a million voter registrations, reduce the number of voting stations in black communities, and perform a plethora of other voter suppression and scare tactics to ensure they win. We must keep pushing back against these parasites!

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

Democrats Must Reject The Premise Of Trans Healthcare Bans In Republican Healthcare Offer Republicans new healthcare bill would bar transgender healthcare as an essential health benefit, bar trans medicaid coverage, and would bar HSAs from considering trans healthcare medically necessary.

1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations.

Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more.

Democrats must not capitulate.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters.

Washington Republicans are demanding a "9โ€“0 map." Thatโ€™s not democracy - thatโ€™s cheating. They know it, and theyโ€™re ashamed, which is why theyโ€™re hesitating.

Congress to withhold Pentagon travel funds until it sees boat strike videos Lawmakers quietly stuck the requirement into their must-pass annual defense policy bill.

Congress is using its marquee defense bill to force the Pentagon into turning over videos of those legally dubious boat strikes.

Lawmakers plan to withhold a quarter of Pete Hegseth's travel budget until the Pentagon provides themย with the videos. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
