Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

1.2 million veterans rely on SNAP. 1.8 million rely on Medicaid.
The "Big Beautiful Bill" puts those programs on the chopping block.
All the North Korean-style theater in the world won't hide the fact that Trump’s policies would be devastating to millions who have served.

Let’s be clear…
The data shows Biden deported more people than Trump—BUT with due process. Trump’s authoritarian regime is snatching people off the streets without IDs, harassing U.S. citizens with Hispanic last names, and showing up at schools to intimidate children.
