US Citizen, Ruben Ray Martinez, was shot 3 times through the driver's side window & killed on South Padre Island in Texas by Homeland Security Investigators while celebrating his 23rd birthday on March 15th, 2025.

This DHS & #ICELawlessness must stop.

Remember his name: Ruben Ray Martinez

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

13 years after the DACA program began, Dreamers remain under threat. Ending the program could force 440k workers out of our economy, costing the US up to $648 billion in the future economic losses. I'll keep fighting to protect Dreamers, their futures, and the economic strength they help build.

In Donald Trump's America, if you say "I am Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary," you get thrown to the floor and handcuffed.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

"It’s a federal offense to attack a member of Congress." Network media needs to cover this and not just a mention. #SenatorPadilla Congress needs to take a stand. My NC Senators need to take a stand.

I’m begging politicians to stop saying β€œLet me be clear” at the beginning of every statement.

β€œAt the end of the day” can go too.
