These DHS employees deserve a tribunal and a visit to the gallows.
DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

The former secretary of state said she and her husband, former president Bill Clinton 'have nothing to hide. We have called for the full release of these files repeatedly.'

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.
After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

Trump can't steal the midterms.
I say that not as a call for complacency, but to right-size worries. Authoritarianism partially exists in our heads. Excessive fear plays into their hands.
Be vigilant but don't panic. Don't grant the regime more power than it actually has.

Americans living abroad are committed to taking part in democracy despite the complexity of casting a ballot.
But that commitment is being threatened by the GOP-backed SAVE America Act, which if implemented, would cause those living abroad to lose their right to vote, Martha McDevitt-Pugh writes.

The SAVE America Act would disenfranchise Americans living abroad
The “SAVE America Act” is a rebranded version of the anti-voter SAVE Act, and its new name should not fool anyone.

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.
So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

96% goes to the candidates. 4% goes to the credit card processing fee. This is exactly how it works if you donate via the link at the candidates website (assuming they use ActBlue, which a good 95% of Democrats do these days).
