Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

Any other president would be facing an impeachment vote tonight.
By reacting to this in this manner, he’s admitting that he’s ordering our military to commit illegal and unconstitutional acts.
"Their crime? Recording a video that reminded members of the military that they are not supposed to obey illegal orders."
Can you imagine if this had been proclaimed by a democratic president?
One of these outbursts would have been a scandal of the century.
How can he just continue like this?

the average first-time home buyer age is the highest it's ever been at 38. that's because nobody has the money to afford a house anymore. except, apparently, the people who pick our fruit and clean our homes
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.
The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.
It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.
Until then, they're all to blame.

I hope the DNC is listening, because here is something very important: you don’t need to hire a bunch of high dollar consultants for “messaging.”
Talk to voters about prices and why they are so high. My MAGA mom just told my stepdad that prices are high because of Trump‘s tariffs.

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

The U.S. has collected over $80 billion in tariff revenue since Trump unilaterally slapped them on our biggest trading partners. That's an increase of 65% from the previous year. In other words, Americans paid $80 billion more for goods than they should have paid.
