If your naturalization case is or will be put on hold by this, especially after the interview, go see an immigration lawyer now.

Naturalization is not discretionary, and federal judges have a unique role in deciding delayed naturalization cases.
The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.

Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.
Scoop: The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the United States earlier this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for broad swaths of people.

More coming soon.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Ignore the performative, disingenuous cries of "antisemitism" Trump & GOP have so cynically used as a political shield. Look instead at what they're actually doing: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Anna also asked Cassidy directly: do you regret your vote for RFK Jr?

Cassidy declined to answer, saying “life is lived forward” and he’s focused on vaccine safety.

This is the Democratic “behavior” that Trump says is punishable by death, just in case you haven’t seen it yet.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

We're primarying John Fetterman.

Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.

We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Note active voice in thread when victim "upends" Gaetz career but passive voice in image when discussing her exploitation.

"Gaetz sexually exploited a homeless child and destroyed his career in the process" would assign a man and a republican agency. And we can't have that.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

ERISA won't save you. The ACA market entering a death spiral will cause massive failures in the health care delivery system. Even more hospitals will close. Rural clinics will go under. Entire practices will be sold to venture capital.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

it’s critical that less politically engaged americans see the costs of having a MAGA regime. democrats can lean into this political moment with charity to ensure the message gets across while mitigating the harms of cuts to their constituents.
every single democratic multimillionaire in congress should be on the streets, handing out truckloads of food that they’ve purchased to their constituents who need aid
if you have any ability to do so this is the time to contribute to your local food bank

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him.

The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

If anyone ever asks, "why don't people immigrate to the US the right way?", it's worth noting I was just quoted $14,460 for an O-1 visa application with premium processing. My first O-1 application, without premium processing, was $6,160 in 2018.
