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.

PAY ATTENTION!

If OUR country was not in the process of moving forward, THEY wouldn’t be working so hard to take us back.

HR 29 DOESN'T secure our border.

What is DOES do is subject people who have been arrested—even if never CHARGED OR CONVICTED—to mandatory immigration detention.

That means someone FALSELY ACCUSED of even taking a candy bar would be detained. Even kids.

Therefore I VOTE NO.

The Constitution is clear: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen.

I'm grateful there are still some within in our justice system, including GOP-appointed judges like this one, who refuse to abandon their oath of office to uphold this sacred document. apnews.com/article/birt...

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that.

For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

The White House executive order on sex and gender is a blueprint of transphobic TERF ideology.

'“Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.'

There are reports that Trump's immigration raids may target San Antonio. We know from history that mass deportation raids can lead to the arrest, detention, and deportation of even American citizens.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:

A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.
