Summary of S. 5: Laken Riley Act - GovTrack.us Summary of S. 5: Laken Riley Act

This is #S5 the #LakenRileyAct.
It's a harmful anti-immigrant bill that's making its way through Congress.

It would pave the path forward for Trump & MAGA GOP to target & detain immigrants in our community.
Call your senators to STOP this bill!

The American government's not allowed to spy on us, so instead they buy the information they need from Google and Facebook. The American government's upset at TikTok because they won't sell data to the American government, they're keeping it for the Chinese government.

The jobs numbers for December were better than expected, so naturally Wall Street dropped.

The 1% hate it when things are going well for the 99%.

Dear Assholes Flying Drones Over a Disaster Zone,

Fuck all the way off. Then fuck off again.

Back in my day there was so much Toilet Paper and Eggs that we would throw them at the houses of our enemies

America is never going to be great as long as the Orange Shitgibbon is in the White House.

He wanted to name the Gulf of Mexico after himself but Bay of Pigs was already taken 😂

What a maroon!

This is wonderful.

I will not be watching the sad mockery of someone swearing an Oath they have no intention of upholding.

I have a TiVo. I have to make sure all four channels are not watching this fiasco.

In Hama, survivors of the Assad family’s first massacre can finally speak — The Washington Post Bashar al-Assad’s father brutally crushed an uprising in Hama, creating a blueprint for repression. Decades later, Syrians can now start to tell their stories.

For more than 4 decades, the Assad family made sure the horrors it committed in Hama stayed unspeakable — killing tens of thousands in a savage month-long siege, then hunting those who carried the memory. Now, finally, the survivors can speak. apple.news/ApT9PZtDZTS2...

STOP obeying in advance.
trump has NO fucking mandate.

PASS IT ON.

Worrisome and loaded rhetoric here.
Poilievre “will fire government officials throughout my administration who are imposing a toxic work ideology.”
Who will he go after? Why?
And “my administration”? Is he running for president?
Sounds trumpy.

Every time I have to look at my MAGAT neighbor I’d like to sit her down, point my finger at her smug little face, tell her exactly what’s in this outstanding piece of writing from Quora!! #DoneWithTheBullShit

Have you noticed he never bothers to claim innocence? He only defends his "right" to act like a criminal.

There's no surprise that we all know who they're talking about.

You clearly do not understand the Dynamics between a husband and wife. Nor the Reagan's history. Nancy got Ronnie following the advice of mystics and clairvoyants. And not in an evil way, she honestly believed that shit and thought she was helping.

1. Vertical (mother to child) transmission of HIV in the US is close to being eliminated—one of the greatest public health successes in modern times

2. RFK Jr is an AIDS denialist, & I fear that putting an AIDS denialist in charge of the nation’s health could be a huge setback to progress

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

In light of these interests-including, most importantly, his overarching responsibility for the United States' national security and foreign policy— President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture, and seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office. On September 4, 2024, President Trump posted on Truth Social, "FOR ALL THOSE THAT WANT TO SAVE TIK TOK IN AMERICA, VOTE TRUMP!"3 Furthermore, President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the Government-concerns which President Trump himself has acknowledged. See, e.g., Executive Order No. 13942, Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok, 85 Fed. Reg. 48637, 48637 (Aug. 6, 2020); Regarding the Acquisition of Musical.ly by ByteDance Ltd., 85 Fed. Reg. 51297, 51297 (Aug. 14, 2020). Indeed, President Trump's first Term was highlighted by a series of policy triumphs achieved through historic deals, and he has a great prospect of success in this latest national security and foreign policy endeavor.

Trump’s TikTok brief just fundamentally doesn’t make sense: How could SCOTUS freeze the Jan. 19 deadline on the grounds that Trump might … unlawfully suspend it when he gets into office? Rewrite the law now so Trump can break it later? The ask here is incoherent. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Tell people who are cranky that they’re probably just dehydrated. Works every time.

Stop buying Teslas. Stop buying Starlink. Abandon X. Write your representative and senators and demand an investigation into Musk's ties with Putin. Demand the nationalization of SpaceX and Starlink. Even if they do nothing they'll know thousands of people are upset about it.
