Immigrants prove they are alive, forcing Social Security to undo death label The immigrants who have requested a reversal and been reinstated in Social Security databases include a Haitian asylum seeker and a minor child.

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

My main starter packs are places to find activists, scientists, actors, artists, funny people.

Here’s what we did today

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

You know… because we were making it too damned hard for Putin to interfere. The poor guy had to resort to calling in fake bomb threats in heavily democratic polling locations in swing states to be sure his boy won the election. Pam had to do something to make it easier for him in future elections. 😡

Either way, we’re all in this boat together, and NOW THEY HAVE TO BAIL WATER like the rest of us. I for ONE hope that they all bail as fast as the rest of us.

“Hi Chris, this is Jill from Newsmax-“ continues on to ask me to appear on a Super Bowl preview segment My response - “Hi Jill, thanks for reaching out, unfortunately I have a strict policy of not working with people who back autocrats and dictators, let alone those are at this very moment in the process of destroying the constitutional separation of power that makes companies like you own able to function independently, as opposed to be government propaganda, so I’m going to have to regretfully decline.”

Sometimes you just have to say “fuck you” with a flourish

This is one of the best speeches ever given by Democrat Jasmine Crockett.🔥

“Some of all have been saying: Where are the Democrats? Where are the leaders? I'm here to tell you we ain't never left.”

Speech is broken into three parts due to video restrictions on this platform.

Please share.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Gerald Connolly, Democratic Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight, just introduced a motion to SUBPOENA Elon Musk.

MAGA James Comer, chair of the committee, refuses, and chaos interrupts.

ICE impersonators on the rise: Arrests made as authorities issue national warning | CNN Authorities in three states have made arrests in connection with individuals impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, as tensions rise amid a nationwide immigration crackdown.

This is ugly, but totally predictable.

“You all got caught!”

“Where are you from, Mexico? You from Mexico? You’re going back to Mexico!”

The good people of this nation continue to support in droves the company that, despite being sued by 19 republican attorneys general, continues to support all Americans and refuses to end their DEI policy.

I hope this video fills your heart like it did mine.🥹

Costco rocks!

Dear World, (An Apology From Decent Americans) Dear World,

Dear Leaders of the Free World,

Fight him at every turn.
Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.

We stand with you.

GOP, remember when Biden gave George Soros control over the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds & federal contracts—then used it to cut off anyone he didn’t like?

Me neither, because that never happened. But it’s what Trump & Elon Musk are doing now w/out congressional approval.

🤷‍♂️

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Democrat Lawmakers…

Start going into the offices of EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY…

DEMAND TO MEET WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOGE IN THOSE OFFICES.

DEMAND THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES.

PUBLISH THEIR NAMES.

IF THEY REFUSE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, POST THEIR PICTURE AND WE’LL IDENTIFY THEM.

This is what I mean about the emotions being palpable and the 🔥 that’s been lit in #TheResistance. I’m glad to see the Dems get out in front of the camera to condemn some of this shit.

White House orders government DEI employees to be placed on leave | CNN Politics Employees in any federal diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility offices will be placed on paid administrative leave “effective immediately,” according to a post from White House press secretar...

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful.

Gotta love the British press.

If she can do it, we can all do it.

Kamala Harris just arrived back in Los Angeles. She plans to distribute food to wildfire victims and meet with first responders.

Governor Harris has a nice ring to it. Welcome home.

It's wonderful how accurate this is in a therapeutic context.
