Reject DOJ's denaturalization plans undermining due process protections. Text SIGN PEKBXK to 50409 β€” The Department of Justice's plans to prioritize denaturalization cases against naturalized U.S. citizens are deeply concerning and raise serious constitutional issues. Stripping someone of their citizenship, a fundamental right, through civil litigation proceedings where they are not entitled to legal representation and face a lower burden of proof for the government, violates due process protections. This threatens to create a discriminatory two-tier system of citizenship based on national origin. While safeguarding national security is important, the broad criteria outlined, including vague offenses like fraud against individuals or the government, grant the DOJ wide discretion to target Americans in an arbitrary manner. The potential ripple effects on children who derived citizenship through affected parents are also troubling. Denaturalization was historically abused as a political tool and its revival under this administration, which has reshaped immigration policies through restrictive measures, is alarming. We urge you to push back against these disturbing plans that undermine core democratic values and the rights enshrined in the 14th Amendment. Citizenship must not be continually opened up for revocation based on manufactured pretexts or overreach by an administration with a concerning track record on immigration. Robust oversight and protecting the sanctity of citizenship for all Americans is imperative.

A quote: β€œMake your own food from fresh ingredients. Problem solved.”

The thing being quoted is me saying: I just ran into someone doing the whole β€œdon’t eat a thing if your great-grandparents wouldn’t recognize it as food” and I’m begging people to know a little food history and understand how far back you have to go to find food without additives.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

The ruling comes after Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, who lost the race, challenged the eligibility of tens of thousands of 2024 voters. Those voters will now have 15 days to verify their eligibility, potentially changing the outcome of the election.

Social security benefit rankings per country

Social security benefit rankings per country

Our #socialsecurityadministration has been around since 1934. That’s 90+ years!

But it’s in need of reform, like many of our country’s other government-led agencies. Why?

For one, our benefits in comparison to other countries are lower. Below average to be specific.

Trump's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose:

If we are angry at each other, we won't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying β€œConsistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith β€œWhat did you get done last week?”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Everything Elon Musk touches is a conflict of interest It's no longer clear where his business ends and the government's begins.

A top government official backing punitive measures against a foreign country he’s simultaneously negotiating a business deal with is a major conflict of interest.

But for Elon Musk, who, with a net worth of $400 billion brings to Washington the wealth of a nation-state, it's only one of many.
