Listen. Caller is a 3x Trump voter from New Mexico oil country. Trump is losing red supporters in the Permian. This guy is disgusted and enraged. I'm guessing Eddy or Lea county from the accent and issues mentioned - that is +50% to +%60 Trump country.
Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

Anyone with, say, an Hispanic surname and a first name that is not unique, understand you may be fighting the rest of your life to reinstate your rights following voter purges based on name matches with non-citizens.
😳 Musk’s “DOGE” overhauled the The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”) program,” which Trump & MAGA want states to use to PURGE supposed noncitizens from the VOTER ROLLS under the GOP’s proposed “SAVE Act”.
Experts warn that “SAVE” isn’t accurate enough for this. WTH?!!! 1/

Ah, the legal case for why some racist washout with a Punisher sticker on his truck can "authorize" entry into someone's home. Fair chance asylum seekers fled their homes due to threat by thugs brandishing assault weapons while wearing masks, hiding their identity, and wearing random tactical gear.
As far as I know, this is DHS's first effort to explain their position that I-205 forms allow entry into the home. They rely on the dicta in the 1960 Abel case (before Payton) and re-imagine the plurality opinion in Lucas as if it were the majority (and then overrely on it).

GOP's SAVE Act is about rigging 2026 election. It would require people to show citizenship papers on demand, it includes in essence a new poll tax like during Jim Crow and makes it harder for woman to vote. The SAVE Act is about ushering in the GOP's dream that only WHITE MEN can vote!
